Yes, I'm seriously selling all my 4 gibsons and never buying anymore gibsons again...love you guys at cakewalk.........and Gibson.......you pack of arseholes!!!!

I too appreciate all the hard work you Baker's have put into this fantastic product. Your work on this has been an inspiration for all us to create music....this has opened many musical doors that I never would've have imagined. I sincerely like to thank everyone at Cakewalk and I hope your pastures are much greener for the future.
 
Cheers and best of luck!!

(Hopefully, these forums will be available for a long time.......this is one of the best online communities I've had the pleasure to partake in and built some very good friendships on the way) 

I echo the previous posts.  Very sad news for the team and Cakewalk.  It's the only DAW I've ever used.  I stared in the early 90s.  Best wishes to all and thanks for a great ride.
 
I also want to recognize the particular pain Noel and the team must be going through as SW professionals who have devoted YEARS of their careers to an excellent product - the best as far as I know. 
 
As a fellow developer, I too have been through the special hell of being "acquired".  You have no choice in the matter and are forced to make the best out of an incredibly destabilizing and frustrating set of circumstances.  This is especially true considering the fact that Gibson had nothing to do with software and no doubt had no idea what they were getting into when buying Cakewalk. 
 
Also, it must have been tough "fitting into" the Gibson "culture" if reports of its dysfunction are at all accurate.  Leave it to the bean counters and the never ending quest to grow earnings every quarter.  I've been appalled by Gibson's behavior in the market and had decided long ago to never buy a Gibson guitar.  My resolve has been doubled by the Cakewalk decision.  Profit rules all.  Especially galling for a company that caters to artists.
 
Anyway, thanks again to all who helped create a wonderful product, culture and community.  You will be missed!

Thank you Bakers!
I hope you're proud of what you've developed.  I've been proud to use it.
Good luck.

Good luck Bakers!

I wish nothing but the best for all of the Cakewalk team. Many of your efforts were pioneering in the field and the competition had to raise their game to keep up. I've been in your shoes. I know what it's like to spend the best of your years working for a company, only to be told you're shutting down for the sake of the big picture. It hurts, and it's not fair.
Talent will rise to the top. I know you'll get to continue your journeys under better circumstances. Don't make any rash decisions while the pain is still fresh. 

I too want to add my best wishes for all the developers and support people who have made my DAW experience with SONAR a true pleasure.  
I am sure that whatever's next for you will be just as good.
