Leave Sonar to its existing user base.

That's kind of why it died. 
 

That's EXACTLY why it died.

Yes, it was the old hobbyist farts that killed it. And the endless requests for staff view improvements, don't forget that, since you're in the market for scapegoats.

Staff view was mentioned on that Reddit thread by a former cakewalk employee. There was never really any intention to develop it further simply because it was too much effort (more effort = more money).
 
I don't think staff view killed Cakewalk.
 
Old farts maybe ;)
 
Personally I think bad marketing and failure to listen to customers outside their own bubble. And lack of concentration on legacy bugs and code.
 

Alex, why did you come back? Nobody has missed you and yet here you are, back at your old haunt, doing the same things that got you turfed out. It's really sad that you couldn't just move on and have decided to come back here and have one last kick at Sonar. Pathetic man, really sad.

^^
Actually what got me turfed out is responding to these sort of confrontations and letting myself get wound up by it, so forgive me if I don't engage any further. Happy New year Amp.

I don't see any failure here, my Sonars are working just fine.
 
We are living in a rapidly changing world, maybe the days of DAWs are over ? 
 
To me it looks like everything gone tablet and mobile, that is probably where the future lies. 

Tablets and mobiles.....well ....I guess its possible but seems its all gonna take a turn and crash n burn like an AM radio on fire for awhile maybe....I dunno....I never upgraded past MC7....which as a novice producer/mixer of my stuff still gives me amazing results compared to the old Portastudio days...lol.
I was looking forward to upgrading to the big boy versions ...but guess I will just keep it real and work with the flow i have now and concentrate on the music and pick'n as I know is my true destiny ;o)
....Stay frosty my friends.....

i think gibson overreached.

I think this pretty much sums it up. They have a large debt coming due this summer. And some of the decisions made by senior management kind of show this to be the case. Such as the use of richlite (compressed paper fiber and resin) in certain Gibson guitars. The downsizing of the Memphis facility is another. The use of MDF (medium density fiberboard) in the construction of the new KRK V series all point to a state of financial overreach. And the sudden shift to only attending CES and bypassing Musicmesse and NAMM kind of tells you where they are going.

It doesn’t help to be one of the last companies to implement PLEK processing for their guitars to not only groove the nuts but also to prep and level the frets on the USA series when all their competitors did that 10 years ago. Their products are not innovative in the right way when compared to Fender owned businesses. Their chief American competitor.

I think we may see a sudden death of an American Icon or at least the reorganization of it under bankruptcy in the near future.

John, I missed him.
