So wait.. you can like some products but not others but that i pile of crap product" have you read or will continue to read? The Pro tools is sew much better, blash blah
 
Bub allowed himself to be pulled in by the baiters, who in MY OPINION should also have been terminated ...
 

Musicman I was concerned that I would be misunderstood on this. I don't think there is anything wrong with comparing product A to product B. And even if someone prefers product A and is telling someone about that on a forum supported by product B, this happens all the time and is a way to learn about products in the area we work in.
 

Thank you for the clarification and your position.
 
I apologize if it appeared my rant was directed at you . You strike me as a pretty good fella and we've never tangled before and I don't was this to be construed as a slugfest.
 
I agree with all your points, and am glad Bub reached out to you .
 
I guess what chaps my arse is the other offenders in that melee are off scott free.
 
Lets go make some music while we wait for a decision.

In all fairness, all Bub ever wanted was for SONAR to work (somewhere near) as advertised.
 
His growing frustration with his Cakewalk product of choice, and of the perceived lack of acknowledgement from Cakewalk with regards to the problems he was having, is what led him to make comparisons with other company's products and their (apparently superior) attitude toward customer service.
 
I may be wrong, but I don't recall him ever starting any trouble, and when he did retaliate to provocation, he didn't say anything particularly untoward, other than setting the record straight and pointing out the facts as he saw them.
 
I've done and said a lot worse than Bub ever did in these forums, as have a lot of people, but in my opinion Cake (quite wrongly) decided there was a need to make an example of Bub.
 
For what it's worth, I think all viewpoints on Cakewalk products, and on their competitors, is valid as a topic in the Cakewalk forums. What would you prefer - reading post after post of sycophantic trite from the likes of John and Daveny5, or being involved in a rational discussion about the cons, as well as the pros of the software we are obviously all fond of?
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again - any product will only evolve and become better when the folk who make it listen to and take notice of their critics, not their fanboys.
 
 
 

 
Apologies Tim - I hadn't read your post #80 before I replied as above.
 
I see you'd already addressed some of the issues I raised, and I've edited out my quote of your other post.
 
Mind you, having to wade, as fecking usual, through all the silly images and pointless posts in what should really be a serious thread about an old friend of ours, makes it more difficult to spot the thoughtful and interesting posts amongst the sh1te surrounding them.

I know you know it but I will mention anyway... this is really not the place for a thread such as this. It would be better "Upstairs" where the "Real" powers reside. I was thinking maybe even a link up there down to here might help but that would be shot down as being not relevant by the self appointed police that frequent those boards.
 
Bub is welcome as far as I'm concerned but as others have said the people that can change that will probaly not see this petition.
 
I'm okay with that, my interaction with Bub hasn't changed in the least as we both are members of "Another" forum.
 
(There I go again......Us vs Them)

No problems guys, it's all good. Type isn't always the best way to convey. Sometimes things get lost in the translation.

Add me to "Bring Bub Back!" I miss his posts! He kept it real from "his perspective" whether he thought something was good or bad. I like his honesty.
 
 
Once you're back Bub would you mind not scaring me with those avatars. I'm a light sleeper. :)

I'LL TRY IT AGAIN....
