you may roast me, but I believe freddie has some point here: still no word from the officials, only from the end-users. this does not mean the end of Sonar, but it surely is no sign of glory...

Excuse me, but why should they?

Name another company that reveals all of its plans/secrets with the general public?

I'm not asking for the strategy. I'm asking if they planned to end the platform.
I'm pretty sure if you ask the same question to Steinberg, Apple, AVID, Native Instruments, UAD they will response immediately that that is not their attention at all. Cakewalk has no comment so far.
 
 
Everyone seem very hostile against me here like I'm stupid or something asking these questions? Actually I feeling very sad that everyone joking over my behalf because I ask a simple legit question?
 
You all that criticism me being dumb or what ever might used your own brain cells and ask your self the question, "Why Freddie asking these questions? Can it be that he sit on more information/rumors  that you are all are not aware of being time? But no, just make joke on me...keep up the good job Einstein's!
 
 
Have a great day everyone!

+1 on the why would or should they?

As far as any personnel changes at Cakewalk go, who knows but they why those took place?  And why would any company have any obligation to discuss that kind of thing with the general public?

As far as for the rather alarmist method of questioning the continued existence of Cakewalk, this seems a bit similar to someone raising the specter of a run on the bank - sometimes that kind of thing can cause a run on a bank.  

The Cakewalk folks don't seem to have lost their way - if anything, they may be even MORE focused on going through the feature requests and bug reports - to try to deliver a next release that is more feature rich and more bug free.  

Folks have complained when Cakewalk releases something quickly.  That happened with X2a, although X2a addressed something like 250 bugs and enhancements.  Several folks have asked them to take their time in delivering the next release - let's then give them that time - we collectively asked for it.

I am bowing out of this thread and going back to doing the best I can at creating my own music and trying to assist others in creating theirs.

My best to all, Cakewalk and forum folks alike, 

Bob Bone

Freddie, I do not think you are dumb and whatever concerns you may have are as valid as anyone not having them.  My earlier comment was simply about the thread itself - perhaps your concern could have been (and still could) be expressed differently.

Perhaps Roland would see value in seeing support from the forum for the Cakewalk product and its developers.  Maybe instead of questioning the continued existence of Cakewalk, we could collectively indicate our eagerness for Sonar's continued development.

Hi Freddy,
do you think it´s an evidence, that Cake not responded your theory?

If this is there  goal, changing plattforms,I will 
change from PC based recording to harddisk recording, cause Logic did the same..........,
then there is a  plattform change influenca!
Any antidote ?

Rather than being too concerned about the current state, you, or someone else, should start a positive thread asking what we can do to make Sonar more popular and help Cakewalk acquire more new users.

Don't get me wrong Bob, I really like SONAR X2a Producer. Looking forward to hear what SONAR X3 brings on. X2a is now very stable! *knock on Wood 
 
 
I had very strange stability problems a month back and other long going issues with SONAR X2 BlueScreenDeath etc. 
Something was seriously wrong with my setup?  I decide to reinstall the whole computer from scratch again, Windows 7 x64bit you name it.
I Installed SONAR X2 directly not X1. After that SONAR X2 were like complete new DAW. All my previous bugs I had before are now completely gone + other graphic enhancement that was not displayed correctly before working now in SONAR X2.  And not just that,it reduced the use of CPU too on same project from 50% to 25-30%? I don't know why great anyway!
 
 
SONAR X3, I hope on VST3. A deal breaker for me.
 
Best Regards
Freddie

Thanks for heads up! Always nice to hear!

Hey, everything is great. We are just busy at work. We definitely aren't in a basement.

 

Although I don’t buy the doomsday scenario I do remember when Gibson Guitars bought Opcode Systems. It wasn’t long after that Gibson dropped Vision (a midi sequencer) and Studio Vision (a DAW). I remember it well as I was using those products back then. That is when I switched to Cakewalk.
 
My hope is that Roland fixes the bugs in X2 before changing things around again!
 
Just my two cents.
