I had a v4-v5 license that I needed to replace when v6 was released. I bought my v6-v7 license in early December, 2019, over 4 years ago! And v7 is just getting going. I just hope they make enough money to stay in business. I'd be more than happy to pay that $60 every 2 years. That's about how often Studio One gets a major version update. I can't find a receipt, but I think I pay 2-3 times that to PreSonus every couple of years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if they did not, you would be able to install your last version without problems in years to come! Absolutely best DAW authorization! Only for this kind of authorization I would pay $100 plus! 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 REAPER is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful DAW I've ever used in my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It takes work to understand REAPER, but I ask: what useful enterprise does not require work? To comprehend REAPER one must understand that a track may be anything you can wish or imagine. An audio track, a MIDI track, a video track, a bus, a send, a submix, an aux track, a warm Summer afternoon, the memory of a lover's kiss, the idea of true brotherhood, or even the idea of ideas themselves. A track may contain matter in all of its states, gas, liquid or solid (plasma support is expected before the next dot release). It may contain light, sound, vibrations of all frequencies. Infrared! Ultraviolet! A track may be routed to a bus, or another track, a bus routed to a track, another bus, and any of them may be routed directly to the user's soul, and to the collective soul of all living creatures. REAPER is the yin, the yang, the alpha and the omega. It is the first DAW you should try and the last you'll ever need. REAPER! REAPER! REAPER. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they do NAMM booths. They probably don't have an extremely large staff. Think of the users who use it casually will always buy another upgrade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Frankel is considered stoopidly rich from the sale of Winamp and does not need the money. I suspect his team members are well paid and dedicated to the 'cause'.

Justin Frankel made quite a haul from selling of WinAmp to AOL. Just the interest alone he could run his Cockos Business model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
