Yes, a big thank you from me for all the great work and support, both formal and informal over the years. I remember Noel about a decade ago getting me to send one of my project files to him so he could spend his own time helping me with a problem I was having. You can't really beat that.

Many thanks to Noel and all the bakers. I wish you all the best in the future. I've been with Cake since the TwelveTone days but the last few years with Sonar have seen my creativity and production jump by leaps and bounds in part due to the excellent product you have produced and improved upon.

Since before 1988, I was there with cake. The bakers, and those gone before this, have changed my musical life. I am just a home recording guy, used Sonar to refine my talents, and that is very personal. It was the Bakers talent that refined my rough edges and put the tools in my hands to do so. So to Noel B. and Greg H. (and all others I greatly appreciate) my heart is thankful for all those years. I hope to see something of this outcome soon. I believe in this brotherhood, here you " all" have been a VERY important aspect of my life. I will always be following the brotherhood of Sonarites.  Change sucks, we will keep the bond. DB

this kinda hurts. I know this program inside out and have done so for over 20 years. Made a good deal of money. Learned audio recording inside and out. The reason that I decided to get into Computer building, and eventually a second career in IT...But I guess that it has served me very well...
but EFF THAT... I DON'T want to learn another daw...I want my effing Cakewalk....

So upset here. I have been around since the twelve tone days. Gibson has been loosing money because of mismanagement on their guitar line. QC on their guitars is not existent, resell vaule sucks (look at the number of les Paul's on Craigslist). How about those automatic tuners nobody wanted. So what suffers, their one premier product, Cakewalk. I own a 175, SG and L5. I am done with Gibson. I am sure they could have sold the asset, but probably needed the write off for the loss. I hope those cakewalk guys leave and start something news. Kickstarter anyone. FU Gibson.

I just wanted to echo the sentiments expressed already. Noel, you and the rest of the crew are a class act. I jumped onto the Cakewalk bandwagon way back in 1992, so you guys seem like another part of the family after that amount of time. Best wishes as you continue on your journey. And for my own selfish reasons, I hope that future includes bringing whatever is left of CW to a more trustworthy and deserving company. Kudos for all your hard work, and most of all thanks.
PS: For Gibson: you see that 77 Les Paul in my profile picture? I've been a customer of yours that long. That relationship ended today.

Noel and all,
I can't thank you guys enough. I used Sonar to get my M.M., composed more tunes into it than I can remember (and, yes, even more ideas that never became compositions), and it helped me to rehab after my heart attack/LVAD/heart transplant complex. I can't believe I've used Cakewalk since version 3 for DOS. You guys (clear back to Greg!) have always been gracious, patient, and kind. Thanks for that!
Besides Noel and the bakers, I'd like to thank Craig, Scook, and Chuckebaby (and others I'm probably stupidly forgetting right now) for the help and charity over the years. You guys are all the best.
I pray that anyone broadsided by this painful turn of events isn't affected for long. Along the lines of Craig's comment, while your Thanksgiving may be on the darker side, I pray your Christmas is very bright indeed with new prospects.
“Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy” is attributed to Benjamin Franklin perhaps in error, but the thought remains a worthy sentiment nonetheless.

How do I even just say "thanks" to Noel and the Cakewalk team, after all these many years of using the software, "thanks" just seems to fall short. It's been at the core of my musical creativity for decades. If I have to learn a new DAW, it will surely need to have some very high standards to live up to in comparison.

I too have been a semi-loyal user (sorry I slipped for a while) since the Win3.1 days. Thanks to the bakers for the good work you all have done! I too hope some angel investor will see the value of CW and keep the band together - as it were. Maybe Roland or Twelve Tone will pick it back up for a song.  As to Gibson, good luck in your bankruptcy and eventual slide into obsolescence.

God bless Noel and all the Cakewalk staff. Cakewalk has been my only DAW of choice and despite dabbling with Ableton, Reason, Reaper, Protools, Studio One etc I kept coming back to Cakewalk. I remember once after buying into the hype of Cubase Audio 5 (around 1999-2000) I took it back to the shop and in tears I begged my Cakewalk to forgive my infidelity and take me back lol. Seriously it's been a fantastic product. Not quite up there with the Logics of this world but still decent. Will continue to subscribe until I own the product and then I will sandbox it and use it as long as it works. Viva Le Cakewalk!
