Sean sorry you feel that way.  I apologise unreservedly for mentioning said 
free alternatives and possibly training people in alternatives on list.

However, last time I checked, this list was a discussion list for DD 
products including Cake Talking.  Don't see anyone from Dancing Dots 
stepping up the the plate and setting the record straight E.G, when will the 
final release of CT for Sonar 8 be out or at least a version of said 
software that works with Sonar 8.3.1.  Mind you, not sure at this stage that 
I would believe a deadline anyway as we have been waiting for 6 months for a 
version that supports Sonar 8.3.1.  This is unacceptable.  Your cutcy 
Christmas thing was nice but, still know update or importantly, response 
from Bill who really should have said something by now.

As always, my reason for mentioning this is not to upset anyone at Dancing 
Dots.  Far from it.  I just want CT users to have the unparalleled access to 
all new features in Sonar 8.3.1 E.G, new plug-ins that they deserve as they 
have already paid for the privilege.  As someone who trains in Cake Talking 
and alternatives, it's in my interest to have Cake Talking as up to date as 
possible hence, my suggestion of incremental software updates.  I really do 
appreciate the amount of work that it takes to put cake Talking together.  I 
should do as I was a beta tester on the product for 8 years.

Thankfully HotSpotClicker works in both sets of scripts which, means that 
CakeTalking users, can get access to some of the new plug-ins in Sonar8 such 
as Channel Tools,  TL64_TubeLeveler and the TS64_TransientShaper.  If your a 
CT user, and you don't want to wait for some of these new plug-ins to be 
supported then, you can get HotSpotClicker and the sets from:

http://www.hotspotclicker.org/

Personally I think as a Cake Talking beta tester, it's really easy to forget 
what the current version of Cake Talking for Sonar 8 actually supports as 
you get used to working with the latest and greatest which, DD customers 
don't currently have access too.  Why not go to:

http://dancingdots.com/ct/8/

And download that release and install.  You will se what I mean.

Putting my Dancing Dots customer hat on, as a Dancing Dots customer, I don't 
care if you are all working on support for some plug-in/feature of Sonar 
that we have never had access too thus far.  As a Cake Talking user, I just 
want support to the latest version of Sonar that is currently available. 
Its that too much to ask???
Regards, Phil Muir
