For $29 there was no point sitting on the fence waiting for a better deal! 😉 Well, actually I've noticed that the only way I can save money AND browse this forum is by procrastinating. So mission accomplished. 🙂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P C 1 Posted March 31, 2021 Thanks for the all the input and clarifications! Since the the APD deal expired, I just purchased the guitarcenter.com bundle (SM One and SM2.9). The sale is still going on... and I figure for only $20 more I can enjoy opening the 1,200+ presets (from SM One) in SM 3.0 when it comes out. I thought I read somewhere that SM 3.0 was suppose to be released 1st quarter - 2021. Doesn't that leave just one more day to get it done?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bulent's "soon" is meaningless. But these current sales appear that he may be prepping for release? Who knows... But he has said that his latest 2.9.9 release will be the last before 3.0, so I'm betting that's next. Not gonna say "soon" again, though. LOL!!! Then again, don't completely rule out releases 2.9.10...11...12, etc. 😂 At any rate, it keeps getting better. He has already merged some code from SM One back into SM 2 to prep for 3.0.

Magic Russ 675 Posted March 31, 2021 Speaking of "soon", René G. Ceballos (rgc:Audio, creator of Pentagon, Rapture, Dimension, sfz format) posted in this thread on KVR that he'd be getting back into the business soon. Note the date on the post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's got a grown up day job now, and builds FM synth chips in his spare time... Not coming back to Cakewalk anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magic Russ 675 Posted April 1, 2021 @abacab I know that RGC has had a regular job for some time. Just pointing out that you can never trust developers who say "soon". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right! Like asking the river that carved the Grand Canyon when the job would be done. The river would likely have answered "soon". "Soon" is a totally subjective concept where the meaning totally depends on your point of view... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magic Russ 675 Posted April 2, 2021 Or like asking the developers when Duke Nukem Forever would be done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
