I like the updates each month and fixes and new plug ins etc etc by Cakewalk, i appreciate them and no matter what they are its always a nice addition moving forward.
 
Maybe there is another thread already however it has to be the future and time for Cakewalk to introduce a new Application Language for Sonar Platinum that opens Platinum up and allows user/programmers to also shape Sonar Platinum's future.
 
We are dealing with some stiff competition at the moment "Apples immense fortune and its unlimited DAW $ supply" or "Ableton with Cycling 74 which allows there users to make apps that have opened Ableton UP and it is growing daily ", or other DAWs with feature based Directions/Updates which again users from other DAWs take notice of and should be able to have in there DAW if possible , or the fact that most these other DAWs having different platforms to run on also has some impact on the competition.
Now i will say this is not a "competition" but the fact that the more Cakewalk customers there are the more money that can be spent on Cakewalk users, be it updates tutorials, customer service etc etc.
 
I am thinking if they do this then most of those ideas at the bakery may come through by users monthly/weekly/daily etc etc and it will be super inviting to potential customers.
I am not saying that Cakewalk should become a "full transparent" open source code application but what about semi transparent or introducing a new Current language where users help shape the future of platinum.
My idea is a bit like this and i would encourage any users to help me as i am not a specialist with the different coding or languages available however i know they are powerful and unlimited, and we need to work together to help cakewalk see this as the way forward.
 
My thought is this in the simplest explanation, imagine if i could write language and cakewalk introduced a "New" "Current" "Superior" "Application Language" that allowed me to add any idea at the bakery into platinum myself.
 
The Future: Imagine if cakewalk added a New " CAKESON " application.
That Cakeson application always has the latest updated Sonar Platinum code and when you start the Cakeson application and entered each step of your idea into that Cakeson application it would make the necessary code for your idea step by step ( being that each users step entered into the application is possible , which would automatically write the code and make available the next step, similar to a choose your own adventure < if you remember those books ).
I saw a Docu about a machine "Watson" that answered double jeopardy questions, the way forward was to let Watson learn itself and i cant see why a Cakeson application with this principle of knowing all of platinum's code and teaching itself to learn how to write and join code itself as each Sonar Platinum update is fed into Cakeson by cakewalk Bakers each month cant work also. Yes the machine would be at cakewalk headquarters but would connect via application and internet to the users and allow the users "successful "ideas to be an available option for everyone.
This would keep Sonar Platinum code "Private" for Cakewalk but allow users to add any ideas and those ideas cant be hidden from other users either so a win win situation for cakewalks and the users .
I can see this as a self growing DAW that would make every competitor envious and everyone would want to be apart of that.
Yes this can be done overnight and will cost some money but looking into it by cakewalk will be the ultimate way forward i believe.
 
One last thing the documentary is called :NOVA - Official Website | Smartest Machine on Earth
Towards the end of the documentary there is a real time language converting app that also used the same principle of learning itself to be a super powerful travel companion and who wants to travel without it. My point is made.
 
Please watch the documentary if you have some time.
 
 

If we allow machines to automate scripting, soon they will automate mixing. Next, question the usefulness of all these humans. Next, fumigate.

It's all downhill. Better to hope for a coffee mug.

Ahhh... WHAT?!!!

I may have to start drinking more (or less). I'm not really sure after reading this post.

There goes your music career.

it's unlikely cakewalk'll develop and release an ai-enabled sonar any time soon, but i've been wrong before
 

Unfortunately, everyone wants to contribute and there is no good reference to what does what (exactly). CAL scripts is one example of this. There are a LOT that have been made, but finding and choosing them is awkward. Samples, loops, and presets fall into a similar category... trying to find the handful of useful things in a pile of thousands (literally in many cases) often amounts to a waste of time.

And we all know that will happen right after cows can fly to the moon in a CW Hovercar.
