You beat me by a mouse click!

Oh good, another one ! ;)

see you there in a minute !

LOL Paulo.

Acquire being the key word there. You usually don't see that word unless there's a bankruptcy- asset re-organization going on. I wish Cakewalk would re-acquire themselves and get the team back together. But who knows really. I'll sit here and look at my VS 700 system and throw the chicken bones tonight, in an effort to see into the future of Cakewalk, Roland, and Gibson.

TASCAM.
 
TASCAM acquisitions have a track record of failure.  software companies go to TASCAM to DIE.
 
(yes, I'm still bitter about Gigastudio!)
 
PLUS they still are just hit and miss on drivers for their hardware.  again.  they can't get the software right!
 
I cannot see this as being a good thing.  Nothing good will come from TASCAM's management of Cakewalk.

TASCAM =

Stop beating around the bush Beagle, tell us what you really think!

Hey this is the only other thread not locked out yet . Seems anybody posts in the main forum and it gets locked. There's a thread hiding in the old forum I also commented in... But I just wanted to see how Beagle feels! Ha ha now you'll have to say Tascams drivers are great .. just kidding.
It's not the end of the world, you have your software and now you'll never have to worry about upgrading! isn't that a good thing! 
 
Most interesting is that Tascam Interface's shipped with Cubase LE. 
So maybe the new Cakewalk will finally have wave editing :)
