Ever since cakewalk went to a subscription based product

What subscription based productl?
 
I only know of the membership plan and now a lifetime plan.

I totally agree with the spirit of this thread. I've been around since Cakewalk for DOS 3 and this is the strongest Cakewalk/Sonar has been.  Gibson seems totally committed to the software. 
 
I don't think any of the other controlling companies were bad at all, but Gibson's doing a great job.
 
Many kudos.  I would buy you all a Victory Dirt Wolf Double IPA, if I could.
 

 
 

Amen!  Great company, great products!

Lucky you!  Dirt Wolf is pretty much my favorite sausage/onion/extra cheese pizza ale.  It stands up to it beautifully.  I like it with bacon/cheddar cheese burgers and extra sharp white cheddar cheese too.  A really excellent ale; I also appreciate the unfiltered approach of the brewers on this.
 
How much different is it on tap?

I fully agree with this.  I'm a relative newcomer having only got on board with Cakewalk during the Windows 3.1 era.   Under Gibson, the product is going through very exciting times and an unprecedented period of development.  I don't know how the bakers are keeping up this frenetic pace, but it sure is fun to be on the receiving end.
 
Thanks so much to the Cakewalk folks, and those at Gibson giving the bakers the freedom to shoot for the stars.
