Read this veeerrrrry slowly. I switched to Cubase and do all of my creative work and new files in it. I have hundreds of Sonar files that I still use. I have said both of these things on many occasions. Now you are calling me liar.
Show me where I called you a liar. A lie requires
intent to deceive. I stopped short of that. I said disingenuous. That means not candid or sincere. It does not mean an intent to deceive. I can't read your mind, so only you know if you were not telling the full story in order to bolster any point you might want to make. That's why I didn't call you a liar.
I did say it wasn't honest (i.e., "free of deceit or untruthfulness; sincere") to switch stories within one week; I don't recall your mentioning in this thread that you had hundreds of files for which you still used SONAR. If so, then technically, you are a SONAR user although the thrust of everything you've said it that you have switched to Cubase and how much better it is than SONAR. The only time I recall seeing a reference to "hundreds of files" was in the post from two years ago; I don't recall anything about that recently and given your most recent post said that you switched to Cubase, I really don't think you can blame me for assuming that you...switched to Cubase. All you had to say was "I switched to Cubase, but remember, I still use SONAR all the time (or once a year, or whatever)" and this would not have been an issue. I'm sorry, but I find it
very difficult to fill in the blanks of what you mean compared to what you say when I have no current data to help fill in those blanks.
Of course that doesn't address your other fallacies, but at least we've cleared up that when you said UNEQUIVOCALLY IN THIS THREAD IN YOUR MOST RECENT POST THAT YOU HAD SWITCHED TO CUBASE, that's not what you actually meant. So I agree, that wasn't necessarily a lack of honesty. It might have been, because you switched stories only when wanting to make a specific point and not a general statement, but I'm happy to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Now I suspect you will go through every word I've ever written to try and find gotchas.
Sorry, but you're wrong again. I've already found more than enough. You never did address the three main ones anyway which I flagged as "How can I misinterpret these?," and I doubt you ever will because doing so would mean you would have to give Cakewalk some credit. So far you have chosen not to do that, so I'll take a page from your playbook and say that based on the past, I don't expect any changes from you in the future. I don't think you'll be under new management any time soon...
I always assume that when I'm arguing a point with someone and all they do is correct my spelling that I've won the argument.
Show me where I corrected your spelling. If I did, it would have been a reflex action due to seeing a typo in something you said (old habits die hard) and I certainly didn't mention anything or call attention to it. I'd still like to know where you think I corrected your spelling. I don't think I did.
However, that sentence tells me all I need to know. You see this only as something to "win" or "lose," not a means to identify the truth, correct past mistakes, make constructive criticisms, or acknowledge new realities. If I'd known that upfront, I wouldn't have wasted my time.
But you're wrong again, because no one wins in this. You don't win because you've been shown to be evasive, and incapable of giving credit to Cakewalk - even if grudgingly - for doing things you stated
as fact they would never do. You have been shown to be wrong but incapable of admitting it and moving on to a more positive space. I would hope someone in your position would be gracious enough to say "I'm glad Cakewalk is finally doing these things" but I guess you're just not wired that way. I have often had the occasion to be
happy I was wrong about something, and said so. I now understand you were more concerned about "winning" than acknowledging the reality that, despite your misrepresentations, progress is being made and the new team at Cakewalk is listening to what the users want (yes, even what I call the "vocal minority" users - and I count myself among that vocal minority for staff view because I think it will help Cakewalk in their goal to gain more penetration in the educational market - your misrepresentation notwithstanding).
I don't win, because some people will think I'm being mean. I've spent a huge amount of time on this that should have been spent on something else. Staff view fixes won't get done any faster because of what you or I have said. It was also a huge waste of time that I assumed what you said was an accurate representation, i.e., that when you said you had switched to Cubase, YOU HAD IN FACT SWITCHED TO CUBASE. I don't know what I can do about not being able to "read between the lines" because as I said, that post was the most recent update of your situation. I just accepted your statement at face value. If you had been able to articulate something other than negativity, that would have been helpful. But what would have been even more helpful is addressing the points that I identified as impossible to misinterpret, despite your claims that all these issues were due to my misinterpreting what you said. Since the whole crux of your entrance here was that I had misinterpreted you, showing how those sentences could have been misinterpreted would have ended it right there. But I suspect the reality is that I did not misinterpret those sentences at all, hence you doubled down on unrelated elements as a distraction, and this is the result.
