With regards to everyone who paid for lifetime updates, is there any grounds for a class action lawsuit against Gibson? 


Shouldn't think so. A company that is no longer trading cannot be sued for failing to develop a product. In this scenario, the 'lifetime' would be deemed applicable to Cakewalk's, not your own.

A long long time ago I was working in a true multi deck studio and the owner acquired a Kong M1. He had a Commodore 64 ( mostly because these were an inexpensive investment for a new-to-digital world) and asked me what to use for sequencing. TwelveTone systems Cakewalk was the answer.

Now, a company that tries to sell $4000 guitars with a richlite fretboard says Cakewalk is no longer relevant, so they can support Phillips-the richlite of audio interfaces.

I understand the millennial manbun wants bleeps, blips and boom boom boom, and that’s perfectly fine, there are an abundance of DAWs for that. And I also understand supporting an old Fattysaurus like me, who is used to and grew up with multitrack studio setups, won’t prevent extinction. But jeezuz at least wait until after the Holidays you heartless sons of ****es.

I agree, supplying us with all install files for all purchased products like Camel Audio’s Alchemy did when they swore aliegence to Apple’s Dark Helmet would be great. That way, three years from now when grown ups are looking for a good windows DAW, and I finally upgrade my computer, I will still have an excuse to keep my p.o.s. dell. The computer and Sonar will be the new Fairlight, a source of confusing wonderment for button based loopsters who can’t play an instrument, but geee, aren’t the lights cool looking!

My respect to all the individuals who improved and innovated the best Windows DAW in the the market.

And may Gibson’s stocking be filled with richlite.

2) Gibson did the same thing with Opcode in the late '90s. I'm even more unhappy now.




this ^^ I owned Opcode products back in the 90's as well
 
I should have bailed when I found out that Gibson bought Cake but I love Sonar and purchased the "lifetime" updates as well. I'm a guitar player - I will NEVER buy a Gibson product. -Jim

Can we cakewalk users buy it? Can we bring that much money on the table?

I own one Gibson guitar.  It's a fine girl.  But, after this, I am DONE with Gibson.

So it seems Gibson really did buy Philips consumer electronics.

Hifi, home video, radios, batteries...
 
I fail to see any synergy at all. How totally bizarre.

With this thread running like a wildfire  (hmmm  a manmade one at that...), I'm glad I read it from the beginning. It allowed me to feel pissed off, depressed, panicky and then finally .....calm. Now what?
    Such a crappy time for the Bakers to get the news. I'm sure they'll bounce back and I certainly appreciate all their work that I've enjoyed, profited by and used since 2000.
     Not being the computer whiz type, I am wondering, if I should take my main studio desktop offline and keep MS from screwing with SPLAT? Is this the most viable option at the moment?
     If SPLAT stops working, can I use Sonar X2 without servers? I still have Sonar 5.2 PE and a Pentium 4....
I've got Mixbus 4 and Studio One 2 (Artist I think)but Sonar is "home" and has been for a long time. I'd rather not jump ship and don't have the funds at the moment, anyway.
     The more suggestions on how to save projects and/or keep my SPLAT4Life (?!) going, the better.
 
Like serial numbers?   I've been using CCC since it started. Should I be collecting ......?? what?
 
It started out as a pretty nice November day........
