Just wanted to echo the sentiment behind the original post... these developments have caught me off guard somewhat but I'm more than pleasantly surprised.
 
Bravo to the Bakers and I wish them luck with the new build! Exciting times.

I Iove cakewalk. I love the community. I feel a part of the club. I would be flattered to be picked to be an early adopter of the latest version.

I posted in another thread but will repeat it here, 
I am more than thrilled about the new versions and pricing. 
As a Studio user I'm an basically getting a Producer version this time around in the upgrade. 
I will benefit from many of the features that Producer used to have that are now included the new Studio version which is called Professional. 
They wanted Happy customers , they got one. 
 
The only negatives are coming from people who just "don't get it". And a few obvious trolls.
