Seriously, can we just give this a rest. Bandlab gave us 5+ years of great updates for free and have really shored up the stability of the product. Be thankful and when the pricing comes out decide if you want to go forward with Sonar or look elsewhere. This is just getting ridiculous!
I just upgraded last night. I let the dust settle on the release. The little I played with it last night on my laptop it seems nice. I use it more as my scratchpad and also use the layering sounds for the instrument track. I started trimming my setup and I'm happy I did.
+100
I'm in the same boat. I came down with the big C and looks like I shall make it but even with health insurance the cost for treatment is $$$. I know I shall have a DAW in my future and heck for what I do I could even settle with Mixcraft Pro Audio 10 I might go with Presonus Studio One or the new Sonar. But I will not have be spending on every upgrade going forward. Money is tight and looks like it shall be going for the for see able future.
Peace

I agree with what you're saying but my point was that I'm an old fart and I just want to play with my toys and not keep setting them up. I wish Linux took a better hold for music making and maybe it will. But for me now I just don't have the energy to go that route. I applaud those that are able to
I used Ubuntu on a couple of old computers for basic internet stuff and it was fine for that. But I don't think at my age I would want to go the Linux route for my music stuff. I'm getting up in years and rather make music then trouble-shoot.
