Hi
I am so sad about cakewalk. I learnt music pace by pace using Cakewalk products back in "Pro audio 9" days. SONAR have been such a wonderful software that I couldn't have imagined some day it stops existence this much easily. I was thinking about the ways that SONAR can be saved and this thought came to my mind: "is it possible that Microsoft buys SONAR ?" I mean  MAC has Logic so why not Windows and Sonar? Isn't it wonderful?  If it is possible can we write and sign a  to Microsoft and ask them to do so ? 
I believe the community of SONAR users should do something and not stay passive. Please give your opinions about this.

So did I

when trying all the different daws out there I keep coming back to ....it just aint sonar.   Sonar just fits me for sure, but I am going with presonus when I go ....btw as I love the company and most of its products.  My take has always been if the OS is working turn off automatic updates.  Dont use your DAW to browser the internet and process email, then you should have the security issues. 

I thought the US was where the entrepreneurial spirit was alive and well.  So I expected a handful of the developers to have drowned their sorrows in a bar and then, defiantly, formed a company, talked to mates/relatives who were attorneys and/or wanted to make an investment and then took and offer to Gibson for the rights to the code and the customer database. This DAW beats others hands down (as being evidenced by most of us test-driving others) and could be cultivated into the high ranking place it so deserves from a small boutique re-start.  Guys, Boston, you've disappointed me.

 
 

It is the best DAW and it will ever grow in popularity amongst the community. Lets save our Sonar
