As I mentioned in the other thread, I have read at many places around the where people refer to Gibson as the place where products go to die, I can't recall them, but they often supply a list of products that have been taken over by them only to go down the tubes. Gibson really doesn't have that good of a reputation around the traps, fair enough their guitars (but even they can take a battering) but as a company, guess that makes SONAR and Cakewalk a good match, because they don't exactly have a good rep either (outside these forums)
