Funny thread. I don't know how I stumbled on this: The perennial PC DAW returns
Computer MusicDecember 27, 2013. It made me chuckle.
"The announcement last month that Gibson had acquired Cakewalk came as something of a surprise, as did the fact that all professional Cakewalk products would henceforth be released under the Tascam Professional Software brand. Yet none of this double-breasted-big-businessery had any effect at all on the developer's seemingly written-in-stone release schedule - if it's autumn, there's a new Sonar around the corner." My spouse asked me 3 weeks ago what I wanted for Christmas and I said "Something that's not available yet, I'll wait for my birthday (March)". And that's mainly because I'm waiting for another software company to hit me hard (and out of nowhere) relatively soon.
I don't think anybody's going to release anything till February now that we're in December without an announcement. So no Christmas present for me.
