Cakewalk Templates

[Kurt Jiagu]

Why do  the sound designers who make presets for vst  synths and include midi , provide templates  for Ableton and/or Fl but never Cakewalk , surely there must be a lot of people using Cakewalk now for this to be viable ???

I am not sure if this is true, but if it is, it might be good to ask specific sound designers themselves. Just a guess but different sound designers might have different reasons and there is not a single reason.

Its the Legacy that we all suffer after Gibsons mismanagement while they owned the Cakewalk brand. Sound on Sound magazine always covered Sonar in their monthly tips and tricks section, not sure it is there nowadays though. Maybe we as users and consumers should be asking the people we buy these Vst's from that very same question.

It would be interesting to know exactly how big the Cakewalk user base is now ... I am sure their are enough of us that our collective buying power should warrant that they make us part of their inclusive club.
