Yes, sorry for the employees.

Holy crap. 
 
I've been using Cakewalk since the 1990s. I used to work across the street from their Boston headquarters. 
 
This truly stinks. Thank goodness I didn't fall for forking out another $200 for another year of upgrades. Those who did should get an immediate refund. I think it would also be nice if Gibson powers that be would make the final version available for free to anyone who was a subscriber over the past few years. It would be a benevolent gesture to the millions of us longtime and loyal users who could have switched to any other DAW but stayed with Sonar.

If this forum is closed, I could provide a new forum for the Cakewalk community with no cost or to the users.

Hi Panu!
 
That's very kind of you. What a great alternative! You have always been a very dedicated and creative member of the Sonar community. It seems it would be very appropriate...
 
I wonder if there's any chance Cakewalk might make the code available for future development by driven souls?
 
 

Wow, Sad news indeed...
 
First, I wish the absolute best to the Cakewalk staff!
Would be nice if the group could stay together and (somehow) the product continue.
Hate to see it just disappear... after so much time/effort
 
As someone who's been around since the CompuServe forum days (was much younger then)... this feels particularly strange.  I've grown old with you folks.    
 
Any chance Greg Hendershot would pull a "Steve Jobs"... and come back to see the phoenix rise?

Ahhh man. This is the saddest news. All the best to the employees at Cakewalk

I'm not an active Sonar user anymore, but I just wanted to say that i'm saddened by this news. And reading it prompted me to look up this forum.
 
Hopefully there will be a way to continue further development and have everyone here still be able to be working with it for a long time.
 
Also, I want to wish all Cakewalk employees the best in the future.

Is there anything that Henry Juszkiewicz has touched that has not eventually withered? 

Glad I skipped the lifetime updates. Best wishes to all the Cakewalk staff.

This is very sad to hear. Been with them since the 90's.
Big love to all of ya and hope you have success in whatever you do!
