WOW OMG I just realized that if the Big News is Sonar for MAC, that just might be yet another big Nail in Avid'S Coffin! Don't get me wrong, I'd hate to see Avid die (JK I would totally enjoy this) Their customer service BLOWS, their subscription plan SUCKS. Bring on SONAR FOR MAC!

Assuming it's SONAR for MAC, it would have one heck of an uphill climb in terms of competing on that platform.  You would have Pro Tools, Ableton, and Logic I would guess as major market share (maybe Cubase too).  Pro Tools, you might be able to sway a few users over.  I don't see many moving over from Ableton unless the new version of 'SONAR' has many more features that appeal to a Ableton user.  The biggest issue is Logic -- how does Cakewalk compete against the price-point in Logic? 
 
You would have a good shot at maybe taking some new users, Cubase and Studio One users, but it's going to take some real features innovative features to do that.

Actually it's SONAR rewritten in Fortran.  There's an 80 character limit on your songs, and you need to use punch cards to load the software.  
 
Silly joke for those who ever dealt with punch cards :P

The e-mail I received from Cake today seems like a pretty big deal.

Hmm, that is a bit interesting. Just wondering why they choose a picture of a DJ booth on the announcement page...
Moreover, will there be 3 BIG anouncements as there are 3 "boxes" to fill with info on that side...

I'm not quite sure it's something outside of Sonar. The announcement reads that it is a part of SONAR.

I think that they will introduce Live style clips, for live playback. Maybe a different view, that allows real time drag/drop functionality?

Im not sure.. It has to be something something Live..

Tascam iXR need Sonar for iPad and Sonar for Mac
 
Seriously, announcing that something is going to be announced soon is...

Honestly, I wouldn't read too much into the image. We just liked that picture. It's related to SONAR.
