PDFs are generally not accessible (unless specifically made so), ...

Do you had problems with accessibility in eZine? Some particular release or in general?
 
Sorry for off-topic and asking, but I deal with accessibility last several days... And I have strong personal opinion that the term is continuously abused in both directions. Many claims something is accessible are nothing more then declarations. Some claims something is not accessible are also just declarations.
 
eZine under Acroread with NVDA sounds good accessible for me (I am not blind, so that is just outsider experience). While the product this document describes (X+ versions) is not really accessible (common opinion).

And on a more trivial note, why do people keep calling you "Graig"?  Is there even such a name?  Ho hum..




Yep. Graig Nettles - great New York Yankee third baseman.

A few worrying trends:
- No more EZine :I think that is a mistake ( see the reactions in this thread).
- The bakery : Not a great succes.A lot of people prefer this forum.
- More problems with the latest updates.
- No news about MacOs Alpha release.
- Still reports of poor support.
- Less presence of Cakewalk on the forum?

I'll miss it but I can understand this.  I'm kinda new to SONAR so I really don't have the history, but I liked what I saw and I appreciate the efforts.

First of all, a huge Thank You to Craig for doing the ezine. It was much appreciated and one of things I actually liked about monthly updates. In fact, it was one of my favorite ways of getting information about updates. PDFs are reliable, practical, and I can view them on all my devices.
 
Now...
 
It's obvious from what's been happening with the company that Cakewalk has lot the plot. So glad this isn't my flagship program anymore. I've only been loading Sonar so I can make stems and work on old projects, but I had hope that it would turn around in the future. Until the last year, I've been using Cakewalk products since '95. Things were going great for a while, and it seemed the company was back on track, and now you delete a perfectly good source of information because you don't like the format? Completely stupid. I'm not even going to get into how bugtastic the updates have been over the last six months and the broken features that either don't get fixed for months or simply don't get fixed. The Win 10 update mess seemed ridiculous since you claim to be on such great terms with MS. Employees leave, and no one finds out about it until later. There's obviously a lack of talent with the company. Other companies continue to innovate and improve without the growing pains I'm seeing at Cakewalk who should have already learned these lessons after being in business for so long. If you had promoted the ezine more, then people would have downloaded it more. This simply doesn't make sense to delete a resource that so many of us obviously enjoyed.

A non-worrying trend: The recent updates have concentrated on fixing bugs.

Good to see you've still got your sense of humor Chuck!
