Wrapping windows code in codeweavers stuff only works for basic stuff (check their website for examples), thinking you could do that to sonar?! when you're already using codejock libs for the "skylight" gui, and all the hooks into the windows os ecosystem. If the prototype was genuinely successful it wouldn't have been dropped There are no current plans for availability on other operating systems. There exists the "rule of 3" i'm sure you must've heard of - quick, good, low-cost - choose 2- most commercial software is usually quick and low-cost. Questions about Cakewalk by BandLab When will there be a Mac version Saturday at 08:52 Cakewalk by BandLab is currently available exclusively for 64 bit versions of Windows 7, 8, and 10. That's the business response!! technically it definitely makes sense to develop per-platform, but like you say it costs more It makes little sense to write per platform apps from scratch due to the high cost of development. These days all cross platform apps use a framework. Ultimately it was a budgetary decision to not pursue it. It also helped us to make several improvements and optimizations to the SONAR codebase. The Cakewalk Mac prototype was hardly a failed experiment! It was very successful considering we got about 80% functionality with very low development cost, and it demonstrated to us what we would need to do to take the project further if we wanted to.
