Best of luck to you Craig! Been a fan since your first book "Electronic Projects for Musicians". You'll be sorely missed. I read your Sound On Sound articles religiously every month. 

Craig, I don't know what else I could say that hasn't already been said above. I will be seeing you over at Harmony Central, as I have been for a while now.
 
For me it seemed only fitting that an old Celtic melody was appropriate at a time like this. It is called "The Parting Glass" and it seems to sum up a lot of what has been said here, especially the following verse:
 
"Of all the comrades that e'er I had, They're sorry for my going away.
And all my sweethearts that e'er I had, They'd wish me one more day to stay.
But since it fell unto my lot, That I should rise and you should not,
I gently rise and softly call, Good night and joy be to you all."
 
Here's a nice version of the song by George Donaldson

Thanks for all you have done, and tried to do for the people..(and others here I respect)..I respect that most of all..(the Helpers of Life)..In the world, you are of....You are of the world...so, where are you going really?.....No where is the truth, if you stay tied to the world!...
 
But if you feel that you want to enter the Earth and the kinds of life in that living body of unknowns...(respect is important to have given, and received...sort of a yin of yang)...or move above it, or go below it..to avoid collisions when necessary ...
 
Some may say..To keep the peace, until all is known of why, or what, or when, it is necessary to Come to help save some, weed some out, and whack others to stop the harming of Life, and our own kind in kinds........what ever that may be now being mixed into it by others and some bent ones....No doubt about it.
 
We, ( who say it all sucks?) do not like to be ripped off by anyone or anything...(or be harming or be harmed anything or anyone )..It is as it is, because it is as was once upon a time...dug up again in time this time...
 
So, be mindful in the matrix Mr. Anderton "The machine is still telling me your Name is spelt wrong".....lol....Yah think something is wrong with the machine and the codex perhaps?.....
 
Who would of thunk it, be is said..."They make it talk and speak, and do, and even move, and be taking away the hand and the mind and the heart"....But it is not alive at all....And so, no regards for it...but the People....Now that is the gold, and the maker, and the sower, and dreamer.....When they start doing for the greater good of life, in all of life, for all of life...what is best for the whole....Is when the machine stops "ticking away, the moments that make up a dull day"....Of troubles....Perhaps?
 
 
Cheers on your adventures in the Matrix.....We hope you conquer your dreams, and come out of the world unblemished, and be loved by all living in the way of the Lord!
 
P.S :
Speaking through the machine...are many spirits saying Be blessed, best of hope!...keep on rockin the cradle with love, respect, and forgiveness, of many trespassing onto and over, and upon...for in doing this...You walk on sound ground to witness the song remains the same.
 
Regards.
If songs be a good thing...And I hope they are of good things...so when sowing seeds, we make the Edens be born a multiple of one.
 
Here is one for you to ponder the universal ride through: A celtic Dream.

Thanks, Craig, for all your help here over the past few years.  Your many insights--and your ability to present them clearly and concisely--have been invaluable.

That's always been up to Sound on Sound, it's a separate activity from what I did for Cakewalk.

Wow, just saw this. Craig, thank you for your devotion to this community. I will surely miss the Friday tips, ezine, your contributions to Sonar and all that you do to keep us informed. All the best in your future endeavors. Thank you for all you have done to make our little world here a better place.

Hi, Craig! Thanks for the content, tips and posts on the forum! 
I also enjoy your articles and interviews.
Wish you good luck!

I hope he has lifetime updates!

The bigger question is if we will all have lifetime updates if Gibson is making such poor decisions to get rid of the best "face of the company" employee they had.  

I agree if it's solely Gibson making this decision, it's one of their poorest decisions...

Craig - I first started reading your articles way back when you would write about cool electronic projects on guitar effects, etc.  Just want to add, that I truly hope this is a positive event for you.  To me, it feels like the passing of an era, one where, with your presence and input, Cakewalk flourished like never before.   Your boundless curiosity and enthusiasm to try all things Cakewalk was infectious and upped all of our games.
Wishing you truly all the best.
