Band Cake

While you were asleep, this happened. If Gibson said they are mitigating their dire finances, this is a good sign. Also, good to know a business entity of similar standing had acquired Cakewalk & not just some interested party without a convincing portfolio. By the way, do you know who owns Bandlab?

Gibson's cake

 

Is Gibson a big fish? How about Roland? So which fish is bigger? The Gibson fish is now eating the Roland fish so that might complete the picture. Fishes aside, Gibson Brands acquisition of Cakewalk would imply the former's deeper foray into the digital realm. It would also mean that 'Gibson' is now making its presence felt in music editing & not merely in names adorning instrument headstocks. Such things happen in the business realm but for us buyers & music enthusiasts alike, we are more wary of availability & price. Hope they keep this in mind.
