Noel, first thank you for commenting.

I completely understand the need to prepare for touch screen interfacing, as it clearly is the future, not just for displays, but future integration with tablets, smartphones, etc.

One of Cakewalk's great attractors is its ability to stay in front of technology (native 64 bit, delay compensation, etc) and even some ideas that didn't quite get there, like DXi.....

With Windows 8 still growing and the great touch interface debate still raging, I am only hoping Cakewalk will continue to focus on workflow in general and not get hung up on touch interface issue which may draw resources away from core development.

I am not a fanboy, but I have been using Cakewalk since Twelvetone's midi sequencer with a korg M1 and ProAudio/sonar incarnations have been part of my personal system for longer than I care to admit, primarily because it gets the job done with a minimum amount of dicking around.

Bells and whistles are fun, but getting 'her done  pays the bills. 

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, don't drink and drive.

I never thought I'd be into the whole touch screen thing but after using a tablet the last year I've really come to like it a lot. I don't think I'd be into a touch screen computer monitor though. When ever I try them in the store I'm not really into it. But it would be cool if cakewalk made a tablet app as an extention of sonar. That would be cool.

If you have an Android tablet, you can use the TouchDAW app to control SONAR. If you're on iOS, there's one for that too, but can't recall the name.

Not familiar with TouchDAW. I use Core and Mini AC7 on iOS and it works good.

Seems like a developer like cakewalk developing thier own could lead to some tight integration that may be impractical or impossible for a third party developer making a generic MCU app.


I would love to help cakewalk develope such an app with my great ideas.
