So...what do we do about 20+ years worth of songs recorded in Sonar that we would like to finish, revisit, rework, update and all that? Do other DAW's read Cakewalk work files? Bundle files?
I'm facing that exact same problem. I don't have an answer but I'm trying to find one.
daws all import / read audio and midi.. export that... from sonar.. or you can midi sync/lock 2 machines , play one record other.
I'm glad I didn't buy the "lifetime" update.. too many pro audio companies have stung me already..
I wasn't surprised to hear this news after I heard about the gibson factory closing a while back ? ..
it's good they told you now, so if you want something for black friday, get it.. as for sonar users ? 2 other things I'd say to use if you do / did want to switch , either studio one or cubase (also if you want notation) . I won't / will not ever support avid, for their actions and lack of support, and also what they did to Sibelius London staff, I hope the steiny type thing teaches them a lesson. reason I like using also , it nows supports vst.. but prefer studio 1 or cubase for mixing down.
they should have put ilok/dongle in and allowed sale transfers.. the trust system sadly don't work.. and hasn't done dev's any favours.. and forget the subs model thats a load of bunk.
the UK price for me to upgrade has been totally rubbish, from cakes own shop.. stupidly high, so I wouldn't update.. if you want to sell me the update at a highly discounted price, then yer I'll go for it.. or you can keep it.
all companies are about IP striping etc. games industry has had it for years, and it i've seen it with music now for a few years.
sad for the employee's. but well they are a talented bunch / will get work elsewhere, if need be.
