I'm at a point now where I will only buy music products I know are being copied from official retailers like Sweetwater. The biggest issue is this: especially with Amazon, it doesn't matter if you buy from the official company store or not. Every item that gets shipped to Amazon's warehouse gets shoved into the same place as the fake ones because they are seen as the same item, and Amazon simply pulls from that supply so all those fakes just get mixed in with the real ones. So if you buy a Shure mic from the "Shure Store" on Amazon, there is still a high probability that you will be sent one of the fakes that just got thrown in the pile with the fake mics that look the same.

Don't you mean, better to be Shure? *ba da tissss* I'll see myself out now...

Oof, was considering picking one up but seems they got snagged real quick.

I just got this a bit ago:

I know I had a few things on Gobbler but they locked out getting into website as far as I can tell so I can re-download the license application to see. Hopefully they make a way available that we can get back in there.

It's over saturation (no pun intended). In the past decade, more and more people have gotten into the plugin market and there's only so much "new" we can do. Everything has been done to death at this point so we keep rehashing the same ideas over and over while companies fight for position in the market.

Once this new patch comes out, I imagine they will start not long after with the beta test of Sonar. I'm cautiously excited. I am a little worried about the interface changes that are coming. Moving from 8 to X1 was a nightmare until X3 with stability and such. I hope they are smart about this release and we don't go through that nightmare again or I'm going to have to nope out to another DAW which I don't want to have to do.

I wonder if we can purchase multiple times and stack them so it renews for a few years?

Looks like I need to email them >_<

I just registered the Mixbox license I got the other day. How do I know if it works or not for the group buy? It's on the list below but I'm not getting any choice menu to pick anything.

It was easy to cancel the first time I had this deal. Their installer has gotten better. It used to be a real pain in the *****. I've not tried uninstalling any of it though because I just ended up buying a lot of what was in Spark outright. lol

Any chance for a bundle deal? I work with both electronic music and traditional and I think I could use the tools from both for projects unless you're planning on putting the features from Next into Sonar as well, of course.

This is good. Trying to change the code for Sonar was a disaster to say the least last time it was tried. Better to keep the focus for it on PC. I wonder if Next will have more in common with alternative workflows of Bitwig and Ableton for electronic beat makers then?

I'm excited for this. I'm also curious if this means they will be expanding the development team. They have said a few times that the team working on Cakewalk is pretty small. I noticed they were asking about platforms in the questionnaire... is Cakewalk getting a Mac release again?

I'd have done them one at a time if I knew. lol Maybe there will be a summer sale to jump on.
