Question

Wondering if Bandlab would consider open sourcing "Cakewalk by Bandlab"  once Cakewalk Sonar is released.    I believe that there would be a lot of interest in having it maintained and continued effort on bug fixes and improvements

Open source is not the same than free. Why open source and not just free without  support? As a first step to its pro version

I don't think Bandlab is going to "give " the app code to the "world"

If you are serious, why don't you make an offer / suggestion to Bandlab (the owner)?  JMO: opinions of users in a forum are meaningless for an issue like this.

I cannot imagine anything good for anyone coming out of open sourcing Cakewalk by Bandlab.

Seriously? It’s basically the same code.

Who would provide all the free effort to maintain bug fixes, releases for Windows updates, and new features??  

I wouldn't bet my DAW on it ("too good to be true")

I've only stayed with it this long due to familiarity and a catalog of legacy projects ever since the DOS days. I often update old projects.

I bought "lifetime support" (another too good to be true) after talking to Craig Anderton at a conference .

I've been hanging on by a thread ever since Bandlab takeover (free ... another too good to be true, nice while it lasted)

Each big Cakewalk transition gives me more gray hair ??.
