Now you've done it. Won't be long and the .....you know who brigade will be here to take notation.

and we don't want them wasting time on stuff like notation and staff view etc ;)

Ooohhh, you're gonna catch some flak for that. :-)

Users have been asking for notation/Staff View improvements for years! I hope we get some.

lol . . . It was a joke, because you seemed to jump to the conclusion, that I actually went through and submitted my 4 tests, not giving the benefit of the doubt that I may have, as you done, not actually submitting 3 of those 'tests'.
 
So it was only one survey actually submitted by me, but it is possible to do many multiple submissions if you so choose. Although in my survey, I did mark of no interest anything to do with iOS, android and notation/Staff view, because well, it's of no interest to me :)

Oh no. I didn't really. I should have put a tongue in cheek emoji when I said it will be a really valid survey hey. Haha.

Ah. The written medium

I assume that it's a random sampling of current users, with enough surveys sent out to create statistically significant results. 
I'm no expert on statistics, but I'm always amazed how few people sampling theory says you need to get valid results.

I got the email and did the survey, but yaa, if Cake wanted everyone on this board - including folks that do not use Sonar - I would assume they would have just put up a sticky with the link.

http://www.surveysystem.com/sscalc.htm is a convenient high-level calculator with good explanations of the terms. While it is very true that a large sample is not necessary, care must also be taken not to "cherry pick" the crowd. Sort of touched on my personal pet peeve of +/- values always missing from "facts."
 
Sorry for the distraction... now on with the news...

Maybe they're testing for the difference in emails sent out vs actual responses. Which would indicate how effective the forum is in disseminating information of this sort.

Yes saw survey in this month newsletter.

Took the survey this morning and then immediately upgraded from Professional to Platinum. 
This was just offered until the end of June and was to good to pass up. $175 Can. 
Cakewalk is doing all the right things to catch fish. New and old. I say they are moving up and there is no turning back for the company. Aren't you glad we stuck with them? 
 
The survey asked me and implied WAVE EDITING!!!!   heck ya, 
I thought for a change they asked me the  RIGHT questions. 
I had nothing to add in the comments dialog other than my minor quibble about the new model requiring your DAW have access to a good internet connection to stay updated. 
I now own Platinum but it might be a week or so before I can go to town and download it. 
But it's Summer and no time to do much recording anyhow. 
 
 

Apparently there is a survey going around in cakewalk asking if they feel happy about people publishing surveys right now. Results just in .. they will send out more surveys by email to ask if they should be sending out more surveys. I will publish a link later...
