I think they listen in terms of profit. No matter what it's a buisness and they need to make x amount of dollars profit. Most buisness plans involve doing better profit wise each quarter or year. 

So in regards to what the customers needs are If they think  they will help sales ....Then yes they listen 


If the customers needs wants or demands won't generate a profit or cause profit to decline .... Then they don't listen ... Or they listen but don't do 



Cakewalk products are great ...I use them 


But the bottom line is money ...and cakewalk existence is to make money 


If if we don't like that truth ..... It's that 

Are you sure about that Mooch?


Are you an ecologist proctologist economist or summpin?
Ya I am. Sure .....go tell everyone over there at cakewalk that they don't have a paycheck any more but could they still come to work everyday and make it a better product ......see how many employees show up .....


I am pretty sure there would be no x3

A) Yeah, but which 25 people sent in bug reports? 25 Danzi's or 25 Bubpu's?
I believe Danny himself commented on the thread. Don't know/remember if he chose to submit a bug report or not.
Hi Bapu,

I should probably say I don't even know which thread your referring to. I don't read all threads, just the titles that grab my attention, so it's possible I missed it, even if it's a current one.

And also, I didn't mean anything I posted as a dig on anyone. My apologies if anyone took it that way.

I love you all. Whew, man, I gotta lay off these pain killers. ;)

Yes. I just think they get an earful and that can be harder to pick apart.

I have a friend who swears his two biggest influences are Rob Halford, and me. I didn't know if I should thank him or slap him. :)

He sounds just like Halford, you should hear our version of Runaway by Del Shannon.

Just want to say that 25 was prolly an exaggeration of the number of people who supported my cause. It was prolly 5.

All I have is Sonar, if it doesn't work, I'm SOL. So, I complain a lot, while other don't, and guys who complain a lot are taken less seriously and ignored and that's another dynamic to who gets listened to and who doesn't.
This is an excellent point, some people including myself actually get frustrated and passionate about certain problems that persist and a spokesperson my big up the plus sides and will be con****ously absent about discussing something that is undoubtedly a problem.
 
So I'm more prone to ranting but it's basically coming from a place where I actually give a damn. 
 
Then there are those that are less discerning or are not affected by a particular problem that can't resist painting you up as a 'hater' which of course compounds the frustration.  They seem to be just happy that a regular new version comes out regardless of whether it is the complete turkey that the original X1 was.  Even in the end X1 didn't actually do anything that wasn't already possible in 8.5.3 all that happened ultimately is I managed to avoid the issues the required 4 major patch release and the intermediate nickel and diming that went on with Expanded which has since been fully incorporated.
 
To my mind those people to more of a disservice to the product than the so called 'haters'.  To me that mentality has less to do with having high expectations of a product that performs well and seems more like wanting a sequel to a game with new levels.
So whether a company is percieved as 'listening' isn't that important to me when it comes to taking into account that kind of thinking, but having a clear strategy of how to steer the company and the product forward, is.
 
Coming up with something winning that nobody else thought of is more something that would excite me to see in Sonar.  Real innovators get people listening to them not the other way round.
