Depends on whether you count extra-terrestrials or not.



There's extras??

Sensible question derailed by silly comments that seems to make sure that no answer is really given.
 
is it really that big a secret.

Has anyone from Cakewalk chimed in with a precise answer? <crickets chirping>
Therefore it is likely something they prefer to remain unknown.
In the first reply I referenced the only info I could find (and yes, it got silly afterwards).
If Cakewalk cared about silly answers and wild speculation, there is a simple way to remedy that. <crickets chirping>
I made the same point (by wildly speculating) in the thread asking for info on the MacOS Alpha release date. <crickets chirping>
If someone says 'Well, Steinberg has decent notation' then it is 'Oh, but we are just a small company and we cannot compete with them'.  But it is unlikely you will get a precise answer as to the size of Cakewalk.

LOL. OK, 39 (the rest of the crew are presumably engaged in support duties - defending the Empire, repelling pirates etc).




It's not that simple...some of them have three heads. There's one guy from Alpha Centauri who probably should count as one entity, but only one head is an employee that gets a W2, while the other two heads are independent contractors that get 1099s. 




Is Q at all involved? I head rumours he routinely pops in to test the company by messing things up and telling CW to fix them (As he sits back and watch the struggle). Could be considered an Alpha tester, perhaps.

On the other hand:
A small number of employees gives me (and other users?)  even more
patience and time -short better understanding of 
the develope processes which Cakewalk is now in.
There are really some I guess:
 
monthly updates
Sonar for Mac
Issues with Win 10
new features and products which were announced.
And the developement is not the only department of Cakewalk.
 
Seems that I had a wrong picture of the size of the decelopment
department.
