When we see on the news that a corporation buys another one out, as AT&T buys DIRECTv, we tend to think of thousands of employees in huge corporate buildings being laid off or moved around and re-structuring, hundreds of developers ganging together in a huge hall wrangling over the next update to blow away their customers, etc. That is the impression we got when Roland bought Cake, then Gibson bought Cake.

That's not at all the way it works. When Gibson buys a company, that company generally retains its independence unless it's failing and requires intervention. And you would be shocked not just how small Cakewalk is, but almost all music software companies - not just in terms of people, but also revenue and profitability (I gave examples in a previous post). Frankly I think for many (if not most) of the people at these companies, the only reason they stay in their jobs is because they have a passion for what they do.

Another example: Cakewalk would love to do a new 64-bit version of the VC-64 (a fabulous plug-in, IMO). But they don't have the rights to modify it, and the person who created it cannot be found anywhere - and believe me, more people than Cakewalk have tried. So it just sits there. (DJs, cue Jimmy Cliff - "Sitting in Limbo").
 
 
 
Cake should just go ahead and do it...let the guy come out and complain about the copyright and then we'll all know who the heck he/she is! (Oh and by the way here is your royalty check.)

Lawyers don't like to think that way...they're adverse to risk. I've actually thought about re-releasing some of my old albums to smoke out the people who haven't paid me royalty checks, but realized the cost of lawyers would likely use up any money I'd get.

That's also assuming they have the source code, not just the packaged dll's!

There you go again, gettin' all scientific on me... 

Nah, just practical :-)

Hey guys - I've been working on the eZine, and found out that the dotted note drawing in Staff View has been improved for the next update. So fixes continue to happen, thread title notwithstanding 

YES! Maybe this means there's hope for my beloved triplets after all! 📢

This thread is now about 31 pages long,
and me not having 1 post in here before it´´s gettin cold......
 
thanks
 

Outstanding with the dot drawing! I am, also, waiting for correct triplets and especially correct 64th note entry and viewing. I just hate seeing a cluster of 12 to 24 notes hanging on one stem like a pear tree! Holy glissando, Batman!
