Rick NaqviDear Cakewalk Customers,We were just as shocked as you were to hear about the closing of Cakewalk. Although they were one our competitors, we have a huge amount of respect for them and there is no doubt that they have been one of the pioneers in computer-based recording as well as innovators in our industry for 30 years. We also had several friends within the company who lost their jobs, and we are truly sorry to hear about this. This sort of thing is never good for our industry—it affects the employees and their families as well as all of the customers who gave their loyal support for so many years.With that in mind, we wanted to extend an open invitation for you to become part of the PreSonus Studio One community.We typically offer a significant discount for customers that are coming from other DAWs to Studio One so that they can get it for about 25% off the price of a standalone copy of Studio One Professional. However, through the end of this year, we want Cakewalk customers to be able to to enjoy Studio One Professional at half off the existing crossgrade price—around $149 USD; exact pricing and currency will vary by region, of course.We will offer this special crossgrade through a handful of select dealers worldwide and also through our direct shop.
