Wow, that would be $1.5B per month with subscriptions..

Or as it stands probably nearer $90. 

Many years ago I was told that the first million is always the hardest, so I decided to skip that and start working on the second one. Turns out that it's not quite as easy as it was made out to be.

There's an upstairs part of the forum?  Why? 

It's to keep "them" occupied and out of our way,😀

Reaper is a great DAW
CbB is a great DAW
Cubase is a great DAW
Studio One is a great DAW
Harrison Mixbus 32C is a great DAW
MIxcraft is a great DAW
Digital Perfomer is a great DAW
BItwig Studio is a great DAW
Reason 12 is a great DAW
Pro Tools is a DAW  😉 

I know, I have them all


Great is in the hand of the beholder

And thus, SONAR will be a great DAW.

Violets are violet

"Feature complete" ain't "release version"

A program in development can have all of its features in place but still not be considered ready to release. Some of those features might not work 100% correctly.

So "complete" doesn't mean complete and "completely usable" means it doesn't work properly and "Today you can get it monthly or get an annual BSP license upfront which is cheaper" is not the current price ? OK then.

Regardless of nomenclature all I said in the first place was that to me the currently released version doesn't justify the current asking price.

My dad always said that if you lend someone money and then never see them again, consider it money well spent.

Oh, you mean the current cost to check out save-enabled versions of the Sonar and Next pre-releases.

Noel has stated that BSP is the release version - "The feature set is complete".

And I just bought a new PA, too. I reckon I've got about 90 more gigs to go before I break even on that one. Can't go solo - I need at least one other bandmate to help move the bass bins.

Sorry to hear about your mate. Hope it works out ok.

Way back when my band spilt up on the very same day that I made the final payment on the synth that I was pressured into getting that I couldn't really afford, hence the paying monthly. Aside from a house it was the one and only time I ever bought anything that I didn't pay for up front. I guess it was a good lesson in that regard.

What is the current asking price? I must have missed that....

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.

It would seem that someone is currently using your identity to talk about this subject in the very thread that tells people what you have to pay to get Sonar now. Some geezer called Noel mentioned it. He seems like someone who maybe knows something about it, but maybe I'm wrong. You know how the www can be,😉

I take it you never visit the upstairs part of the forum.😀

What current asking price? I don't think a price for the new Sonar has been announced yet.

The current asking price is bandlab membership.

listening to reason made me switch to Reaper.  

So you're saying that reaper sounds better than reason? By how much? 20-40%?

There's really not much beyond the new lipstick to justify the current asking price, but I'm happy about that because it means I can not have it and also not feel like I'm missing out on anything.😀

A penguin fell asleep on an iceberg.

When he awoke he was iced over and stuck to the iceberg which was slowly drifting farther out to sea and try as he might he could not free himself. Then a few metres away a Narwhal surfaced and seemed to be looking in his direction.

"Excuse me, Mr Narwhal....I'm so sorry to bother you, but would you mind coming over here and breaking the ice ?"

The Narwhal swam slowly over to the iceberg and said....

"So, do you have any hobbies...?"

As for the GUI, my problem with it is not that it’s too small, but that it’s not attractive, alluring, sexy or what have you. It doesn’t draw me in. 

It's no looker for sure, but the contrast issue is the biggest problem for me. That and the IK response to the many users asking for this to be improved or  adjustable...it's not our UI it's your monitors.... You mean those monitors that seem to display every other software UI just fine IK? Ok then.......

They could make it free now and it still wouldn't be worth it.

The lieutenant running the army base motor pool gets a call one day from someone demanding the immediate delivery of a jeep to his quarters......

" Sorry mate, you're out of luck....old Knobhead McGinty booked the last one yesterday."

"Do you have any idea who I am?" asked the caller.

"Nope" said the lieutenant.

"I am CAPTAIN McGinty!"

"Well, do you have any idea who I am?" asked the lieutenant?

"I do not" said the caller.

"OK, ta ta then Knobhead."

As I said, in my experience, sometimes they get it right the first time . . . .

I hope your current issue is in that category!!! 

I guess there's always a first time for everything. 😀

Having looked online for answers it starting to very much feel like it could be the start of a long winded saga. Not sure it's going to be worth it for the sake of a few presets, but thanks for trying to help me.

Yes.

I think it would be better to ask Arturia.

I know quite a few people here say that their support is good, so I can only assume that they just keep one bozo aside purely to reply to me in a way that suggests that they didn't even read the question, so I was hoping to avoid that particular form of self inflicted kick to the gentleman's area if possible. Plus it's the weekend, so asking here seemed worth a try.

Thanks for replying though.  Helpful to know that it's not just me.

In case anyone wonders....yes I have tried restarting everything and the outcome is the same.
