im still reading through all the comments you guys are posting and its clear how much this software means to everyone. just wanted to say thanks for sticking with me while we wait for some actual news on this because the silence from the top is getting pretty frustrating.

were almost at 100 signatures so lets keep this momentum going. if you can send this link to a few musician friends right now it would really help us get over the hump.

I love this software. I'm a lebanese composer, and used to work on this software since 1994 (cakewalk apprentice, and professional) on windows 3.1… and I have all the versions till sonar platinum. Please, save this software. It's a great one
I've been using Cakewalk for nearly 30 years. It is solid, well respected and badly needs a permanents home. Please consider saving Sonar while simultaneously jucing up Windows as a real music creation platform. Thanks.
Sonar would be a perfect one-up Windows Accessory to counter Apple's Garage Band. If Microsoft is serious about media creation this would be an exceptional addition. Make Cakewalk's "Home Studio" a free windows accessory and upsell Sonar.
This is a mistake. If Gibson are to continue to make acquisitions in the musical hardware arena it makes perfect sense to continue with a DAW that realises the potential of all that hardware. Cakewalk wasn’t broken and didn’t need fixing but Gibson’s thinking certainly is.
I have used Cakewalk products since Ms DOS based MIDI sequencer to full package Ms Windows based DAW. Nothing beats Cakewalk for over 25 years. Microsoft should consider to acquire / adopt it and continue developing it as it will open new market for Ms.

This software and it's development team are too good to lose! There is a long standing, stable user base, which should ensure economic success, for anyone who takes it on.

Our company works since 1995 with SONAR and digitizes tapes and vinyl for customers. Its the best software we found for our customers as state and city archives, publishers and individuals. We don't want to lose this great software.
