I might be interested.

How much do you think EM would charge me to have it re-engraved with "mike_mccue Customer of the Year 2012"?

May I also ask this? What is with the level of cynicism and mistrust that finds its way into just about everything here? Why is it curious that employees offer opinions and insights into what they think is important, or just cool/fun/etc,  in today's world of recording? It's a blog post. Some see evil machinations in everything. If anything it's only to call attention to the blog and inform about Cakewalk and recording in general. It's intended to be useful information for the reader, whether a SONAR user or not.

Yeah we're trying to sell subs so we pre-empted with a blog post about subs. C'mon - that's silly.

Actually Brandon, I was going to mention that I have about 10 subs sitting in the back of a van that need a home. I can offer a great price, just don't ask me where I got them. Anyone else interested, please PM me.
 
PS- I am kidding. Seriously, the blog is not the official word of Cakewalk. It's a place for employees to share ideas, tips, and thoughts with other folks. Mike T. believes in subs. That's his opinion. Others may not share that and are free to disagree or put forth better options. The Blog is meant to be fun and informative - anyone insinutating anything different is wrong.
 
BTW, I just posted a new thread about acoustic treatments. And before anyone asks - NO we are not selling acoustic panels or power tools.

Andrew,


I want to publicly make clear, hopefully, that I had no intention of turning your blog or thread into this big BS side show ( not meaning you!).  SO I apologize if my earlier reply came off wrong.


I still say everyone here has become super sensitive and incredibly ready to pounce on anyone or anything that does not neatly fit into some pre-ordained constraint  - including you and other CW staffers, not just the users -- and I think we ALL need to chill and find some humor in things, but, more importantly, I personally  didn't want you think I thought you personally had some nefarious reason for your posting.  I know you weren't beginning a sub woofer marketing campaign!

At least not yet.   { THAT'S A JOKE !!!!}   

I reiterate that I found it curious you would choose the main Sonar forum over, say, the Techniques area to place your post, but I was not being serious AT ALL about some plot to sell sub woofers.   If you read my reply again (and notice the LOL) I think it will be clear I was making an effort to make a joke -- albeit not a very good one perhaps.


SO I apologize for somehow contributing to this negativity and 'cynicism' groove that appears to have overwhelmed the Sonar forums for quite some time now and this thread in particular.


It really is my hope that all users (including me, you, other CW staff, etc) can approach things a little more jovial down the road.

So again, I apologize if I've contributed to whatever misconstruction of your post took place.


And, even if you did want to sell subs, that wouldn't be a shame or breach of some sort anyway, I think.

I hate to sound silly .. but I'll say 'peace' to you, Andrew.

I don't see that the Cakewalk reps are the super sensitive humorless ones.

I have a Yamaha "yst-rsw300" that I bought for my music room but couldn't configure properly (my monitors are fed by lightpipe) and the sub only has analog ins. Plus, where does one put the freq dial on the subwoofer. Even room placement seems to be a point of conjecture.

So I hooked it up to my TV/Stereo instead. Now reading this blog I'm motivated to try and get it hooked up to Sonar again.

Nice Mac Pro  

Yeah old school!

No way man, 2 xeons 24 cores, 10 terabyte, 20 gigs of ram Mac Pro. Thats the school Im at ;P

Sonar runs like a dream on it. 

Wow. Four pages on the subject of whether or not you need a subwoofer! Excellent. (Actually, anything other than another thread about the Concrete Limiter is welcome.)

I use a sub. It came with a footswitch to turn it on and off. But I never turned it off, so I re-purposed the switch for something else. The sub is really great for blowin' stuff up in Halo.

If you think you need a sub, I can give you reasoned arguments to justify that purchase. If you suspect a sub would be a waste of money you don't have, I can make equally compelling arguments to talk you out of it.

Can you give me reasoned arguments why not to have a drink yet?

I'd try Billy but given that it's only 7 pm here and I'm 3/4s of the way through a bottle of home made red wine I can't think of any. I expect the tosh levels to rise considerably this evening if I continue.........

No. Too drunk to type for that long.  Also, I love you guys.
