I have a very good feeling about Cake.
 
Nobody stood up and jumped around flappin' their arms and jaws about what was going on
but they have spoken, for those listening, that dealing with issues such as forum formatting changes that could be made would need to be addressed at a later time because they were very busy.
 
Cake has a history of doing some really great things and I think we're in for a treat...don't know when but no way I'm walking out in the middle of this show.
 

I sure would love you to be right!

I think they are waiting on Karl to finish the video.
 
I'm hoping that X3 has touch anything custom color choices, that actually work, and that each take lane will have layers, that actually work.
 
It is going to be awesome.
 
 
 
best regards,

I don't find the lack of an update, or CW not letting us know one is coming, appalling at all.
 
Come on people! I have seen enough of these "No Update" and "The Bakers not talking to us!" threads that I am appalled that someone keeps starting ANOTHER ONE! Good God! Enough.
 
If you don't like the way things are going, get the f out! But just shut the f up already!
 
There I said. I know others have thought it.

this is the same silence b4 roland kills any of their products. All those who have ad the VS machines know this feeling well.
I agree with a lot of what's been said here and find the lack of communication roun here very unprofessional.
If we all stop buy cakewalk products where would they be? You think you'd want to treat the ppl who support you just a little bit better.

I don't think it spells the death of Sonar. They put out a customer survey recently, and they also just announced some new Pro Channel modules. Doesn't sound like the actions of a company that's planning to retire a product. I think the big issue here is "will they fix X2 or release X3?" And to me the silence suggests that they're not going to release another patch. If they were, they would have hinted at it by now. Whereas a totally new release is something that they'd have to give themselves more time to get ready for. I don't think they'd say anything until they had the marketing blurb ready. Hence the silence. Just my $0.02. 

It's not realistic to expect us to communicate about product plans, road maps, or business plans. I understand the frustration but don't take the silence as a sign of something bad. FWIW, this kind of speculation has been happening for over a decade. It's nothing new. We are all hard at work and when we have something we can discuss, we'll definitely communicate that to our customers via our website, emails, and forums. 
 
I do want to stress that anyone having serious issues should always contact Cakewalk support directly. We are happy to help out and often times a quick call can resolve an issue.

+1 here Spacey.
I have mentioned this in other threads and will say again here, after talking with Brandon at length a couple weeks ago at Gear Fest, I came away with a very positive vibe about the future of SONAR.
As for the lack of communication, well for as long as I've been around (V6 I believe), I have always thought the communication back from Cakewalk was bad.
Doesn't make it right, just makes it the way they have chosen to do business.

SONAR is not going anywhere. Remember this forum is designed for peer-to-peer communication. When we have time, we love to come in and discuss but that's not always possible.

I believe freedom of speech does applyhere. Since you are not God or some other entity , just don't click on the feed.

I appreciate your post Andrew, but we're not looking for any top secret product plans or road maps. Just some info about whether or not X2 is going to be patched again would suffice.
