Really?..Sad?..Where's the outrage folks?!? #savecakewalk
(Edited for content, hopefully it won't get deleted this time) Excuse my bluntness and I say this out of love but....Seriously!?! This is the same group who losses it if an update doesn't contain their particular fix. The same group who lost it when the secret announcement teased a few years back wasn't what they had dreamed up in their own heads. The same group of people who whine that one group of users get a discount or free plugin they've had for over a year. Now Gibson is ready to flush Cakewalk down the toilet and all I'm hearing is... SAD?!?... Really?!?... Sad!?!...Forget sad! Some of us have been loyal costumers since before computer music was a real thing and hardware was still king. Trying to convince our friends that this was the future. Some of you are probably thinking ..."but Fresh, what can we do about it?" ...My answer is... something, anything but say "aw sad" and walking away! This is the modern day of the internet and social media. Get enough voices behind a movement and things can happen. Movies have been funded, TV shows have been brought back from the dead. Presidential campaigns have been won and lost...etc. And to this statement "your software will continue to work normally"...I love you guys but let's be real, nobody wants a software product without development or support. There are a ton of great products out there that technically still work but no one will touch with a 10ft pole and a hazmat suit on. Project5, Kinetic, Shortcircuit sampler, Alchemy for win, etc. One bad windows update and you're dead in the water.
Some of us have based our livelihood on Cakewalk products and have been loyal to a fault for decades just get a " Oh well, it's been fun guys" for our troubles and tons of cash spent on upgrades and add on products. I don't know exactly what we can do to save Cakewalk but we've got to do something people. Forget sad..get mad...get motivated...get organized. Let's make something happen. Who's with me. #savecakewalk

Interesting, and hopefully not entirely out of the realm of possibility!... CW would not even be pocket change for MS, but it would be an interesting partnership and they've already worked pretty extensively together so the foundation is there... let's cross our collective fingers!

Microsoft and Cakewalk had a pretty close relationship back in the day. So this seems plausible.

Right. Prior to today, the last Tweet from Gibson was in 2015. I'm sure they'll be quaking over the Twitter outrage.

I think this is one of the things that are a bit "in the air" for now. Unless something is done, nothing will happen.. MS has been working closely with Cakewalk lately, so there might be a hope in there somewhere

About time to start some Gibson flaming threads somewhere??
I've always loved Gibson guitars, but won't buy anything new from them anymore.
They've sunk to the bottom of the barrel for me.

I mean no disrespect to anyone here. Po'd people without direction and purpose have never solved problems. We need a level head and the right people need to hear about it in a way that makes them interested to listen.
Gibson is in trouble, Cakewalk is a casualty. Things are probably too far gone for them to have many options now. No amount of anger will make any of that any better.

I totally agree. But with no Po'd people, nothing will/might happen Things are still very uncertain, but let's keep hope alive as long as viable

Be careful what you wish for in regards to Microsoft buying Cakewalk.
If that happens, their goal will be to create a Windows app to compete with Garage Band.

It would still be better than no more SONAR, ever Not a 1st choice, but there might not be that many interested parties.
