Over the last few years I have been in the slow process of putting together a DAW with a lot of determination and very little money. This process has gone on long enough that in the last few months I have been forced to overcome hardware failures. I am pleased to be able to say that I have managed to turn each of these challenges from a necessary repair into an upgrade, and still managed last month to add Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 2nd generation USB Interface. You can imagine my surprise when I learned that my SONAR Platinum with lifetime updates had gone "no further developments". I'm still untangling what that means to me. So far, what I've gleaned is that a small staff will continue for technical assistance, and that although there will be no developments, my SONAR will continue to work. Following the lead of some other SONAR users I made a system image. Then I wrote a brief email to support with some questions about my software in hopes that I might gain some clarity on what to expect short term and down the road so that I'd have something more than just a big question mark when it comes to making decisions regarding how to proceed with building my DAW. Unfortunately, at least so far, I have not received a response. What this says to me is that from the company I chose to build my DAW around "Cakewalk" I can expect nothing, count on nothing. Which brings me here. Also mentioned in my letter to support was the fact that I had problems with my D-Pro never properly registering. Given that my query remains unanswered by support, is there any hope for my D-Pro, or should I chalk it up as a casualty of my procrastination?
