Being the first major contender on Steam was also a big plus. I would love to know how many new Sonar/MC users there are from selling on there. Suddenly a lot more people know what Sonar is. :)

I got in through steam. I'd had my eye on Sonar. First DAW I bought since finishing up in college 8 years ago. I like the look of it, because it appears more approachable than other DAWs. Although in saying that, I used Cubase in college, and it's not complicated in appearence, wasn't very inviting though at the same time.
 
Haven't had too much use of it yet, though. Going to be building a pc over the next couple of days to sort that out.

Well, we have to be very careful about how we handle this. We're finding out that it's reproducible, but reproducing it in order to analyze it is destroying a lot of peasant villages. 

 Please destroy as many peasant villages as necessary to make Sonar better. Globalization is gonna get them anyways.

Part of the plan anyway... the alien greys are locked in the basements but upon X4's release...
 

Call me crazy but X3 is awesome and I can't imagine that only a very small percentage of people here utilize a fraction of the capabilities of Sonar in any one projectat any one time.    What would someone want in a future release at thispoint that Sonar does not do well already??  Sonar has GREAT modules on Prochannel, Great effects, Great instruments and pretty damn good timing tools, pretty damn good comping tool and take management, full midi support, full support for VST 3, UAD , WAVES and any other 3rd party and finally melodyne.  What else does anyone need to make a great record???

"What would someone want in a future release at thispoint that Sonar does not do well already?? "

I'm sure you will find out in a couple of months. :-)

I love X3e producer but CW could improve the staff view and tweak the autozoom. I wouldn't mind if they did that.

 I bet Half Life 3 would be released before that happens.
 

Breaking news: I have no breaking news. But we are sincerely sorry about the peasant villages.

There are some good perspectives here...

One thing I'd like to emphasize is that Cakewalk's future is no longer in doubt. Gibson is very committed to this venture,
 
 

Fortunately, Gibson seems to be letting CW run it's own house.

Very much so. Cakewalk welcomes ideas, but ultimately, how they run the show is up to them. And let me add they have some pretty cool and highly innovative ideas they're tossing around...I think Cakewalk is really going to shake up this industry.

I think Cakewalk has the potential to shake up the industry. I think the challenge is, what exactly does that entail? From my point of view everyone has very different ideas of what features, integrations, and such would do just that. So much progress has been made to improve the holistic "value" of Sonar (i.e. Plug-ins), and in the MIDI/VST realm. I'm ready to see some progress in scooting PT over on the shelf and making headway into major studios in the tracking, mixing, and mastering realm of live bands, live performances. THIS is where I'd like to see CW shake up the industry. This is where I work.

I could use some talent . Other than that X3 is pretty much the beezneez.
