Hats off to Cakewalk's marketing team

I have to say, Cakewalk is damn quick with it's catching of announcements and previews of SONAR 7. Not more than 10 minutes ago, there was another leak, this time screenshots, and the moguls of marketing took down the post. So now, we have 2 bases of pre-informed users (well 3 actually . . . ). First group is those that saw the feature list, second group is those that saw the screenshot, and finally, those who rank as demigods who saw both.

Hat's off to Cakewalks forum moderators for catching these things quickly!

My sarcasm detector is going off.

Hey thanks. I kind of feel like a jerk for pulling these things down. I'd love for you guys to get a look at SONAR 7, because what we have in store is pretty exciting, but I have my marching orders...no leaks.

Nah, that's your job... we poke fun at how tight lipped you guys are, but *most* of us realize that it's for a reason. In actuality, these forums probably help you quite a bit because we're like 10 year olds on an easter egg hunt.

We're looking forward to it, though!

I was being completely honest, there was no sarcasm intended at all.

We understand. Not to worry. It will come in due time. No wine before its time.

I'm sitting here on a slower(er) Friday morning, reading posts and drinking coffee whilst watching my 3-year-old twin daughters have breakfast. They're currently looking for treasure in their bowls of Special K with joy and wonderment at every turn.

I know not every Sonar "treasure-hunter" is going at it this way... but I have to say, it's kinda cute the way you guys are turning over rocks, leaves, and cereal flakes to see if you can find something out about Sonar 7...

Have a GREAT day

'Cute'...yeah, that's what we aim for.

I can't say I mind being called "cute" at my age! Not that anybody did.

Cereal flakes? I haven't checked there yet!

UnderTow running to the kitchen...

Not saying I mind either...

So the Sam Ash screenshot was premature? Same thing happened with a retailer last year, if I recall correctly. Ooops!

BTW, I don't think that screen shot was very revealing... couple of new plugins and some changes to TV... The real goods are gonna come with the official announcement and the website update... Monday morning, ladies and gentleman! The marketing team needs the weekend to deploy the new website, IMO... Monday morning!

I think that is a bit wishful . . . We are looking at probably an announcement the last week of September. The Monday starting the last week . . . that to me, is a bit more likely.

I don't think that screen shot was very revealing...

No, it wasn't very revealing. However, it did announce the date of the Sonar 7 Tour at Sam Ash. And it's not very far off!

Yeah, which Sam Ash was that?

Well I don't really care one way or the other, but I think all the secrecy is silly. What's the big deal? We're all going see it soon anyway. Whatever.

Monday morning!

I think that is a bit wishful . . .

S6 features were made public a few weeks before product announcement at last year's AES...

That means that if you dont release S7 today you guys are going to stay awake all weekend to prevent leaks?

You're my kind of guy, Dan...

Can Marketing hold onto my passport for me? I feel it might be in safer hands with them.

Good job. And don't worry, we'll all jump on the site the moment it is released and hammer your web server just like always.

I say you guys just have a surprise release right now. BAM! no warning, no build up. Just POW! SMACK! Sonar 7 available in download format. Even if it's just available to a few select users (me) in the next 20 minutes. I would greatly appreciate it.

It's hard enough to download a patch around here. I'd hate to DL a DVD's worth of material.

If anyone wants to grab Cakewalk's attention about something, then now's the time. They are like hawks this week.

You don't understand; they have to sell off the old stock with specials first. I got my upgrade to 6xl mail a day or so ago..I have s6p :-)

Actually, I'm waiting for my upgrade to SONAR 9 to arrive.

What about those jumping to Reaper? Like me.

We understand. Not to worry. It will come in due time. No wine before its time.

Look at it this way, if it came out now we would want to get it so there is a $190 upgrade or so...
So they are saving us money for now...
I am looking forward to it.
I wonder what will be in it. I think we can all guess based on the past.

To me the updates in Sonar have been alot more impressive then the Project 5 ones have been.

But you can tell us, right? I swear I wont tell anyone. And probably no one will read this post other than me and the orignal OP. It will be our special secret.

Thanks

Well, I just "jumped ship" (from cubase SX3) 14 days ago due to the nice upgrade offer from music creator. According to the leaked feature list I will "have to" upgrade right away.

Still getting familiar with S6 though, it's very different from Cubase after all those years. Anyway I already like the way I can open any GM file, fire up a TTS-1 and all midi tracks are connected to the right instruments...

Very nice to quikly edit a file...

I saw this once in garageband and I was so envious. In Cubase I have Halion, but I had to do all the connections (tracks>sounds) manually, what a drag...

Wow - I'm a demigod then

I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I don't have time to sit around and worry about Sonar 7. I got tunes to make. Right now, Sonar 6 is handling that for me. When 7 gets the green light, I'll see it.

As for the chuckleheads leaking the info. Stop, you aren't impressing anyone. In fact, the lack of integrity you've shown by leaking the info certifies you as a grade A loser.

As a fellow Yamaberg escapee, allow me to say welcome to light. I hope your experience with Sonar has been as awesome as mine has been.

No leaks???...

Can someone please post the "leaks" over at the cubase forum?

With the whole world awaiting the imminent release of S7, I hope the Bakers have upgraded their servers and fixed the bugs international buyers have experienced ordering previous Sonar versions.

I think any major product release must be tough on them.

Probably best to expect the worst, but hope for the best.

I hope the 64 bit drivers tool box has a lot more in it

Don't know whats with this WDK audio drivers stuff in 6, I thought ASIO was the newest.

I would also like to see it recognize the MOTU 828mkll;
they seem to want to both lead when it comes to the dance.[sm=rolleyes.gif]
I still enjoy the leading host with the most (SONAR-6 pe) so don't get me wrong.
Guess you cant please everybody, eh
