I agree they need to advertise not how Cakewalk used to do it. Cakewalk used to do it like they were hiding something and didn't really want to show the world. THAT HAS TO STOP PS those vids that cake used to do with the annoying rock music. That has to stop too. The lack of enthusiasm in the Vids that would have to stop also. They have to stop catering to ROCK music fans of that dated genre. PLEEEEEEEASE Bandlabs do not do all the above if you really care for the new platform that you have in mind.
I agree they need to get away from the "mature geezers recording rock" image - not that there's anything wrong with mature geezers recording rock, it's just that the image does not whet the appetite of today's kids looking to buy their first DAW. Modern music production is a wonderland of advanced synthesis, sampling, beat creation and all kinds of freaky production techniques, and the kids are getting excited about this stuff by watching videos on YouTube in which instructors do all kinds of cool stuff in DAW's like Ableton and FL Studio. These modern production techniques aren't limited to bleepy electronic music either - you hear them in pop, hip hop and even guitar-centric genres like some kinds of metal. It would be financial suicide for the new Sonar to ignore this market. They need to market the DAW to everyone from singer songwriters to bands to aspiring bedroom producers making electronic styles. Cakewalk had a virtually non-existent presence in the world of video tutorials and this almost certainly contributed to its demise.
Ehhh. lol, What they need is a guy who is using Cakewalk across the board like a Dave Pensado or a Warren Huart YouTube "DYI" Show. Someone with real life credits. If there is such thing. if that's not an option they need to create a network of newer studios to start putting up real life recording sessions maybe even live.
I don't think there's anyone "cool" in the audio world using Sonar, that's the problem.

Cakewalk, as it was in the beginning.
Also, no more Platinum. Platinum makes no sense unless you also have silver and gold etc.
Make the top tier Professional and call it a day.

I used cakewak back in the early 90's too. I was a terrible name even back then. The words origins aren't that nice and it sounds really outdated.
I think Sonar still holds up well. And it's not cakewalk, that was a different program

I agree that it needs a thoroughly unique name that's a rock solid trademark with excellent SEO potential. Kind of like Xerox or Kodak. Trouble is it's genuinely hard to come up with a combination of letters that scans well, conveys the purpose of the software and isn't already used by something or somebody else.
"Aud" has been used already. Audition, Audacity.
"Son" has obviously been used. Sonar, Halion Sonic, Soniccouture etc.
"Wav" - Waves, a million other VST's.
"Harm" as in "harmonic" and "harmony" - probably done to death.
"Mus" - hmm! Surprisingly, I can't think of any prominent DAW's or VST's which start with those letters. Might be an avenue to explore.
"Phas" - hmm.
"Amp" - possible, but there is already an Amplitube and a company called Ampology. Ampri? Amphox? LOL dear me.
"Chrom" - Chromax? A brand of golf balls. Chromix? A color management company. Both awful anyway.
"Samp" - done to death.
"Stereo" - done to death.
"Sig" as in "Signal" - doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
Boy is this hard. You can see why people are paid large sums of money to rebrand companies.
Besides which, I bet they've already decided on a name and we're just wasting our time!

Yeah, but it's fun. like the Boz 'name this plugin' I'm under the impression they want to keep Sonar if they can. They probaby have a plan b, c and d. But you never know we might stumble on something that rings out

Just call it "Cakewalk" just like when I first bought v2.0. (Yes i'm old)
I could deal with the name "Cakewalk" again. The picture for my profile is of my Cakewalk 2.0 disks and documents (I might even have the ISA Board that it was bundled with: a MIDI interface from Computer Music Supply). It's be a long road from there to hear and I'm glad to see the road hasn't ended.
