I think this really needs a little more thought.
Cakewalk has always listened to it's user base. That was a strong point for them.
Just because a particular item not being addresses is no reason to slam them in this way.
The amount of decisions, available worker time and other similar issues are involved.
Cakewalk was a great company... they went under for other reasons.
I wouldn't be surprised if all of the DAW softwares lose money. High end programming and low prices? How do you do that. Anyone familiar with the cost of medical software?
Chuck is simply laughing at the thought that one such simple issue is the reason for failure.
How about you pick your next DAW and with the way larger number of issues needing addressing, try to get that company to do what you want?
If you find one, let me know and we can have them turn it into an upgraded version of Sonar!
