There are so many replies to this thread.
When there is another official update or reply, will it be a sticky or something we can find quickly?
 
I'm only interested in official updates and opinions now, so I'd like to know how we will find them?
 
Obviously, we are all wondering about our futures with Cakewalk products, etc.
Continuous thanks and appreciation to the staff who are really affected by this situation..

Had anyone received an official email?
I hardly regard a forum as the place to receive official company information.
Not saying that I do not believe the content of the message, just that there might be users who never visit the forum and are still unaware.......

To me that is absolutely unacceptable.

I'm guessing since the Cakewalk staff has been reduced to a skeleton crew, getting the word out in this forum was the quickest and easiest way.  Sending emails to all the customers is probably a bit more time consuming.
Plus if you're on Facebook and are in any kind of music production group, it's pretty much all anyone can talk about right now.
But yes, an email would have been nice. Maybe we'll get one when there's some more official news (hopefully good news).  Plus I think the Cakewalk team are under some kind of gag order, limiting how much info they can share right now.

Wow...
I felt my heart leap up throat....
This sucks.... I've been using sonar cakewalk for about 9years now. I learned audio and music production on sonar cakewalk 3. I even have the book.
 
And i've been saving up to purchase the sonar Platinum. Does this mean that i cant access Sonar Platinum anymore?
 
Good luck to all you guys who've been working on the software

I'll sell you my SONAR Platinum, it comes with Lifetime Updates, all the Pro Channel modules, Z3TA 2, Rapture, Dimension Pro, Rapture Pro, a $h!t load of expansion packs for the instruments and more, just let me know.

Matron Landslide, hilarious. Sad but funny in a gallows humour kinda way.

Dang Nabbit! I switched to Studio One last year, as a secondary to PT. I am a huge fan of S1,it was easy and fun to learn and use, very nice synths included,but I have Sonar and Rapture for a loads of creativity in the synth realm. There are limitations within Studio One that make Cubase a better long term investment for many users,depending on your specific needs. I don't run a commercial studio so Studio and Sonar w/ Rapture had me covered. Sadly, I payed for a Sonar upgrade a week before the Gibson back-stab; I can't leave Sonar alone, I love the workflow. Disappointed but facing reality. I have a lite version of Cubase. It didn't light any fires in me to go deeper into it, buy a full version. But I will now, I don't see any other option. CUBASE and Studio One folks should be commended for making the effort to fill the gap with a discount. They could be cold-blooded and charge full price knowing MANY users are headed their direction soon,regardless. Apparently, they have bookoos more integrity than Gibson,Inc. 
Feels like..."my favorite girlfriend ran off with my best friend. All good, I have a backup girl (ain't as pretty but more loyal) and a double handful of good bros to fill the gap. Except, it's NOT all good, but time to move on cuz the main honey ran off with all my money!". 
If  Presonus/Studio One were truly on the ball, they'd grab as many Cakewalk alumni and finally make Studio One what it should/could be. Upgrade the few things that PT and Cubase provide that S1 doesn't, they'd own the market. HINT 
 

No email, no. Just occasionally getting news on forums.

why not make sonar an open source program. Like Gimp or Open Office?
Than people can develop the program.
