I'm getting a little uncomfortable talking about this to be honest

Meh, I was the one that brought up alternate DAWs so I'll take the heat but there shouldn't be any angst surrounding open discussions like this. We're big boys and can make our own decisions. Now if we were spamming the thread with Cockos links and spouting hyperbolic negativity toward Sonar... then yeah. That wouldn't be cool.

Like I said... anything I get would simply be to work in conjunction with Sonar. There is just too much good stuff in it to drop it completely. It wouldn't make sense.

Cheers.

JG : "Everything we do, no matter how deep our talent and skill-set, can be done better when people have the optimal amount of time to get it done right. A flower takes a specific amount of time to grow, a baby takes nine months to be born, these things cannot be rushed. We should emulate nature a bit more and follow the same advice with the things we create with our minds. Everyone will be happier, both seller and buyer. I'd rather see Cakewalk put out a new version every 2 or 3 years and do it well and right. There are software companies that don't try and release a new version every year and the end-user is probably better off because of it. "

The usual problem, and I don't know if it's Cakewalk's case but it probably is, is that those financing most companies today care more about the profit they'll make than how it will be generated. I long for the days whan an Amercian company was proud that their refrigerator lasted longer than anybody elses. Today's MBAs must think they were insane. What kind of business plan was that ! A customer buys one product and you never hear from him again.

I believe it's possible to build software like that if you structure it properly and spend more time designing it on paper than coding it. I wonder if the younger generation would care for a product that lasted forever. Might be kind of boring.

PS. as for the staff view, I don't see how they can promote something that doesn't work.
