SONAR has not yet crash landed
This is how I thought about Gibson/Cakewalk day after the announcement...:)
Normal SONAR was like an aeroplane flying at 33.000 ft altitude. Then Gibson fired the captain and put engines to idle speed. Now SONAR is gliding down gradually but it's still flying; there is some crew left in the plane, servers are still working and passengers can keep on using SONAR as usual. Those who paniced have already jumped off the plane (with or without parachutes). Some of us try to enter the cabin and take control in own hands ("make it open source", "let's buy it"). Some are still evaluating. Half of passengers are still sleeping. Nearby DAW planes are picking the parachuters in mid air.
I am sitting in the business class. I have set up my parachute and purchased a new plane but we're not crash landing yet and there's still hope that somebody enters the cabin and puts engines at full throttle.

I'm hoping too! It would be a tragic for such a magnificent piece of software- decades in the making- to be abruptly killed off.
edit: I bought 4 refurbished win7 64 bit machines yesterday dirt cheap and put X3 and Platinum on one of them. Works great so I should be alright for the next 20 or so years :) Also downloaded all VST installers that activate with serial number or key file- Valhalla, sonimus, dmg audio, fabfilter, d16, sir audio, sugar audio, u-he, voxengo, 2caudio etc. Can be offline forever!

I wish I could read code (c++) and figure out how to make certain adjustments.
I remember when you were doing the color schemes back in the Sonar X1 days.
I was so impressed. Still am. But I wish I could figure out how to do a few things in sonar like change certain codes to create new things. however without that offline activation im still fretting out a bit.
But this would be a great product to make enhancements on for users who do stuff like this.
I guess what im saying is I would love to see the software open source.

If it did go open source, one of the most fantastic things could happen and that would be for Ron Kuper to be involved. He was the CTO before he upand left to go gaming and Noel became CTO.
Ron was a real visionary when it came to Sonar and it would be nice to see what he could do with the code.

"there is some crew left in the plane" Unfortunately they just seem to be cabin crew which is OK if you just want a glass of wine. The longer it is before someone manages to open the throttles back up and take control, the more chance there is of the plane piling into the ground and no one wants to be onboard when that happens. I'm taking no chances. Not only have I got my parachute on, I'm also sitting inside a huge zorb ball.
Splat, Win 10 64bit and all sorts of musical odds and sods collected over the years, but still missing a lot of my old analogue stuff I sold off years ago.

I guess I need to point out that there is no way to refuel the plane. Or repair it.

Not to worry. It has solar panels, and so far it's still quite sunny out..

HA! Hope springs eternal. I certainly can't argue with that.

Anyone who was working in development in Cakewalk had access to the code. Change a few names and recompile and we are back in action.

Very true. But what DAW is she recording with?
