They might give you a sixfinger salary!
Me thinks we've all been given the one finger, guess which one...

Fascinating description of events. And a band that does play to the same beat is not really a band. Sad.

The saddest part seems to be, despite what we all thought, there was a solid plan for the free updates for life that could have worked really well, driving sales of cool add-on components. Also known as the Image Line model (they use with FL Studio) which is a great success. Only it got trashed by complete mismanagement. Imagine how great that would have been for the product and for us if it had have been managed properly and continued. I'm even more pi*sed off now I know what we could have had.
 
We also found out why the email support vanished.

It really really is a sickener ... for something that could have been avoided.

And worse is the fact THAT IT WAS NOT THE PRODUCT that sunk Cakewalk. But now that product sits on a shelf gathering dust, in that there will be no further development & its userbase is left with what eventually will be a virtual paper weight. All totally unnecessary and a sad sad stupid demise for a great product

So glad to have decided to rejoin the Cakewalk family after some time off.  I had the Sequencer called Cakewalk way back, so I dove back in for Sonar PRO and lifetime updates this year.  So VERY glad.

Shouldn't there be something indicating that this was moved from upstairs?
