Very sad today to see an announcement that Gibson Brands is shutting Cakewalk down with immediate effect.  I’ve been using Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 and SONAR 1 all the way through to SONAR Platinum since something like 2001.  A real shame.   At the time of writing, there appears to be no indication of whether the Cakewalk products are going or likely to be sold.

Update: As of now, no news on what’s going to happen to the Cakewalk products, but I’m not convinced it’s a good idea to wait to see, so I’ve decided to crossgrade to Cubase 9.5 Pro – just waiting for the sales team at Cakewalk to verify my eligibility, and then I can order it.  They have a special offer on at the moment at £248 inc VAT which isn’t an outrageous price.  And you’d hope that with Steinberg being owned by Yamaha that they aren’t going to just suddenly drop what is probably the oldest DAW in the world at the drop of a hat.
