Gibson Brands announced it is ceasing active development and production of Cakewalk-branded products. Gibson acquired Cakewalk in 2013.
“The decision was made to better align with the company’s acquisition strategy that is heavily focused on growth in the global consumer electronics audio business under the Philips brand,” Gibson wrote in a statement.
“Cakewalk has been an industry leader in music software for over 25 years by fusing cutting-edge technology with creative approaches to tools that create, edit, mix, and publish music for professional and amateur musicians,” Gibson added in its statement.
