I started on Music Creator which came bundled with those midi cab;es via serial port that never worked in Windows. Cakewalk, Sonic Foundry and Magix has boxed software at Best Buy, Staples. Next was Home Studio and gave a great deal on upgrading to Sonar 2, which is still my favorite because it's not cluttered like most DAWs. I did skip S6 - they were getting like Finale with paid upgrades every year. That put off some since the new versions didn't fix the problems. When I bought HS 2002 they actually had demos of other software. I was getting turned off by the cluttered GUIs and tried the lite version of FL Studio that came with HS 2002. I became an FL fanboy. I don't collect plugins as much as I do DAWs. All I need is a Mac and have Logic, PT, and DP, I think I have them all covered. BTW Cakewalk was a pioneer in the industry. I do believe it was the 1st 64 bit DAW,

I was a fan of Voyetra software. I have DOP and their staff writing software.

I might ask them how does one qualify for Professional Series Custom Offer

so 3 less soundpacks and 2 less upgrades I'm now part of the have nots................ I might bring that up to support........

Odd that I don't have that. GoncaloL doesn't and it's $44 I think I might pass even at $44. I got 50% off from UVI - for one item so went with another Falcon expansion Plus Orange Tree Group buy. I can't feed all of the kids.

I pretty much dumped Sonar around 6 as the GUI kept getting cluttered but still bought licenses 7 and on. So in some ways the "I can't have" kicks in over "not really needed". The real question is can we still use SPLAT. Give them credit for making the new Sonar to have some backward compatibility. Often stuffed shirts would find a way to ruin that.

I'm not one of them and still have the same issue. I think that is being a little paranoid. I guess we should contact support. I can't see AAS doing that unless forced but they would work another way to comply. There's too much competition out there for any developer to mess the political stuff. I wonder if PA now under the 3 headed monster is still denying the paid for licenses of Russian citizens. 44 for both might entice me, 49 each - there's way too much stuff out there that would be better spent when it comes to 98.

If it were $49 or less for annual sub I would give it come thought

I have them all and I'm not getting that offer either.

If you have Requiem Pro you get a discount. If it isn't in your email contact support.

I've always archived my DAWs. I always thought Plat was X3. I use to keep old versions installed since the exe was only 18mb. The danger is discontinue software is the spread of illegal versions and that come with other nasties.

Anyone thought of installing the last version of Sonar that was under Gibson?

I think Logic is now a pay once like FL Studio. Studio One is now like Waves with their WUP. It seems like some developers are doing better updates. I've become more of a fan of the EDM type DAWs like FL and Live. I still haven't installed this new Sonar yet. I just need more DAW shortcuts on my taskbar.

If I did I would just go with Logic

I seemed to have left that out since my other romplers actually work. That did the trick. I noticed without that Sampltron wouldn't load either. I had to go back and redo the audio settings in the B3 as well Double check the other romplers powered by ST to make sure they work I probably wont install this update despite that. When a developer removes something and claim improvements without listing them - buyer beware. When Reaper is updated they list everything.
