I like the way that a mod who is supposed to be tasked with keeping the forum in order and clutter free decided to add yet another thread about this subject in the Sonar forum after it had already been posted several times (including one by a mod). 
 
As for the news...... good I guess, but I'll reserve judgement until there are further details.

good luck everyone!

Well at least it wasn't Magix or sharper image.

Too late.  I'm moving on to Reaper and Mixbus.  Already in the middle of a massive clean up and organization operation of all projects and audio to prepare for moving to Reaper.  I've been using Cakewalk for over 20 years. I'd rather not switch, but I just don't trust the future of Cakewalk anymore. 
 
I was originally going to keep using Sonar X1 anyway, but the comping tools and options in Reaper is just too impressive to ignore, especially for multi-mic recording set ups like acoustic drums.  
 
Glad to see it will live on, though.  The more competition, the better for us.  
 
 
 
 

too late for me,
have moved on.

I can put this avatar in it's grave!

Yep- Glad to stick with Cakewalk. Thanks for taking us on BandLab.

I'm still 95% sceptical about it. No promises made to continue CW/Sonar as a software. Could well be they modernize the software/brand and launch it with no connections to CW. We've heard it so many times under the past years, that SONAR is seen by many as the software your grandpa uses. BandLab may want to make a total facelift, and forget the original product completely. We'll see. I sure hope SONAR/CW lives on.
