If nobody moved the thread down here, could nobody please move it back to the Sonar forum?

Your wish is my command.

Cool!  I wish for becan for everyone!

what do I think?
 
They've answered all they're going to and there's no reason to expect anything else from them.  don't expect a buyout or a release of code because they've already told us that the cake brand is dead and they aren't going to put any more effort into it.
 
I think it's over.  the fat lady has sang.  
 
you can use what you have until it doesn't work any more or you can move on.  I don't see any other options.
 
that's what I think.
 

I agree Reece. I'm finishing up the song we have in works and then moving over to the new DAW. She has sung.

I did say please 

Maybe it wasn’t a host but a Cakewalk staffer that moved the thread in which case we’re not going to know.

Thread moved or not moved , in a way  I'm not surprised at all that Cakewalk has been staying quiet ...
The whole time I have been using Cakewalk products I have noticed Cakewalk always seems to keep a tight lip on anything that involves changes or modifications in Cakewalk products ..
When times were good , they kept a tight lip , when times are bad as they are now , they are keeping a tight lip ..
It seems pretty consistent too me  they always played their cards super close to the vest 
 
My only real hope out of the current situation is I will be able to continue to use SONAR when I want to and have it install and work properly on any new computer I may happen to use ...
I have delayed getting a desktop for a while , I would be pretty PO ed if after spending all my money over the years mostly on Cakewalk products that the possibility of having to go back to X3 may be my only option when I finally spend the coin on a True DAW spec worthy desktop  ...
 
all the best,
 
Kenny 
 

My feelings were just like yours Kenny. Not any more. I think we're getting played. I think they'll open Cakewalk under a new name with zero debt and legacy costs. I could be completely wrong but given that they refuse to say anything and are now actively controlling critical comments, that's what I'm left with. 

Do we all have our CW tin foil hats yet?
 
I got mine in the mail yesterday.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Or wait..... that was an aluminum funnel.
 
My bad.
 
 
 
Beeps, please don't ask what the funnel is for.

Hi John ,
 
To be clear , I fully accept your position and how you feel . I have no desire to modify or try to change in anyway shape or form how you are processing the whole chain of recent events of what we are discussing here on your thread ..
In my case , I'm trying to keep an even keel and hope that the glass is half full ...
 
Now it is entirely possible that what you are saying could happen ...I sure hope not , but I do know that it can happen that way ...
Just so you know I am still a little POed that Cakewalk dropped Project 5 ...even after all these years , 
FWIW , all the valid explanations don't mean much too me ...SO I begrudgingly move on ....
 
Now in a worst case scenario , for the sake of our dialog , lets agree that you are right ...using your quote bellow.
"I think they'll open Cakewalk under a new name with zero debt and legacy costs."
 
If that does indeed happen I guess ole Kenny is just gonna have to go old school ..by that I mean ...
 
While I'm down there taking a deep breath and grabbing my ankles , On the way up I'm just gonna have to grab a rabbit straight out my A$$ just to remind myself that regardless of what Cakewalk may or may not do ,
 
I'm still caught in the cross hairs of being a musician in The Music Business ....no matter how humble my place in the bizz is today ....
In the past , I got around ,
I have been EFFed over by some of the best in the Bizz throughout my time here on this planet as a guitar player ,
My short list of getting it in the rear includes Grammy winning Artists I have played with as a sideman , The heads of a few A&R depts , Various bands signed and unsigned , Club owners , assorted folks I have networked with that have cut me out of the money but they still took their cut , Hell even my own Mother   ..
My own freaking Mother  didn't give 2 $hits about me and my music... I ran away from home and never went back when I was at teen .
As an adult ,it was only when I started showing up in the newspapers  of the town she had moved too that she rekindled her interest in my MUSIC
 
SO Yeah The one thing that I have learned the hard way is this about the music Bizz ...
Nobody and I mean Nobody in the music Bizz will give you $hit or anything until you are Exploitable
 
For every dime I ever made somebody else made a dollar or more off me ...
 
 
You do know that in the past I have had the Presidents of a couple of The Made in USA guitar companies give me a free guitar (here and there ) right ?
You know how that happened ? they all laughed in my face until Mark Dronge of Guild gave me a Guitar as a Gift .
After that  they stopped Laughing in my face and sent the Limo over to my Roach infested N Y C apt to bring me out to their factory ...
I didn't even have a record contract at the time but I was gigging out in all the best places and clubs ....
Why am I saying all this ? because even music companies that claim not to give stuff to artists and players do give stuff out n the down low ....
 
In the scheme of things Cakewalk may indeed  stick it to me just like you have said  ..compared to every one else they at least treated me OK for 12 years ...
 
Kenny
