Maybe they're preparing to swap the Roland name as manufacturer and return the product name to Cakewalk instead of X3?

No matter the case... I wish Brandon much good fortune in his journey. He's been a strong support for us all and has taught many people how to use the various tools The Bakers have cooked up...

But does this mean he won't be doing the webinars with Seth? They make such a good team!

Yeah, it would be a shame to lose him in the educational material. Seth better not go anywhere. That dude's vids have taught me a large chunk of what I needed to actually make Sonar do something useful.

Or, maybe there will be no more Cakewalk, the name will be dropped, and it will be Sonar by Roland from now on and not everyone has changed their forum name yet?

Roland typically uses the brand name approach to their subsidiary companies, allowing the company to manage it’s own affairs.

Hey guys,

Just to clear up any confusion; Brandon now works for Roland US and I am still with Cakewalk. There is no pending company name or branding change (that I am aware of). We'll probably still be doing webinars together in the future, as well, but you never know.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Seth

Hey Ol' Pal and everyone. Thank you kindly for the well wishes. As of a couple weeks ago I officially started working for Roland in the US headquarters (as did Robin Kelly btw). As Roland owns 100% of Cakewalk shares you can imagine that my job is still closely related to Cakewalk and to SONAR. SONAR is still a large part of my responsibility  - and holds a big place in my heart as well.

As a self-awarded "Honorary Lifetime Baker"  I'll still be working closely with those at Cakewalk, including Seth. While we have no date as yet for the next webinar I hope that we can continue to bring these events to you with little change.

I'll be around here on the forum as well.

So, while officially I work for Roland, I'm still involved with and available to the SONAR community which has meant so much to me for over a decade.

Rock On, Colonel...rock on!

Congrats on the new gig, Brandon!

Scott

Sounds like a promotion. Cakewalk by Roland.

Best wishes, Brandon. 

Congrats to you Brandon and Robin!
