So, if the subscription version is OK to take peoples $$$, (which it seems it is) why isn't the perpetual, whatever you want to call it license. Soon! Not trying to argue-But agree that Coming Soon has passed a while back. This is NOT SOON for a product that has been around since forever and you are selling subscriptions..

Cool!

Hmmmm? Hope he elaborates...which I think he will! ?

Well more to think about. I even have new Samsung 980 Pro 1TB sitting in the box on my desk. Hmmm? I should have mentioned that I think , for me, it's time I did a clean Windows install-hence my question and concerns.............. Thanks for the input folks-It's much appreciated!

Things like this John are what I was\am concerned about.

OK-Thanks folks.............Seems about the same from what I recall. appreciate the replies!

First, I already own a legal copy. I just remember back when it was first discussed - endorsements weren't too great! How about today? I am at win 10 Pro. Have been seems forever. No issues really. Thanks

Well I just thought it was weird that the dates were the same-NEW Sonar and the very last cwby BL BOTH 2024.02.........No biggie really.

As in the subscription, which is the only way. That is why it is weird. That is the LAST update-period! Wasn't implying anything bad on your part.

Just curious. As I stated-Why is the version he speaks of the SAME as the the LAST version of CWbyBL? That seems odd to me. No?

Isn't 24.02 CW by BL version? Not Sonar? CWby BL wouldn't have anything to do with the NEW Sonar install. Yikes! OK-Now I'm confused. ?

Well That is encouraging Tom but their is NO mention of the timing for ending CWBL. If that was posted , that would be good! Thanks for the link.

John- I hear what you are saying but I have NEVER heard a guarantee that Sonar will be SOLD, as in retail purchase before CWBL is ended. That is what I meant. I will believe the Sonar Release (NOT SUBSCRIPTION) when I see it! as stated- I am hoping that's how it works out.........

I wish\hope that Sonar has an OPTION to buy before CWbyBL is ended..............................I am trying to be optimistic!

TTS-1 is your best option for this-it has all the GM instruments. You definitely should have it. UNLESS you are talking about the NEW SONAR, it was removed!

Yes, just tons of transparency and so simple-Yeah right!

Trust me, I want CW\Sonar to survive and flourish-Honestly!

NOPE. Do you really believe the plan was not to have a viable product to SELL at some point? Of course it was. Also, nothing wrong with that-smart business! So in my opinion CW by BL has had over 4 years to come up with a sales plan. Also, I imagine NONE of the long time CW users like me (35 yrs) and many others didn't ask or care that it was free. I would have gladly paid for it. Just sayin!

I agree. How does the bigger fish to fry excuse the lack of transparency? It doesn't!

Comment is about Bandlab, NOT you. Yes your post prompted the post "about Bandlab", hence the quote. A stated by others much too much coming soon ............... Nothing personal intended.

Guess they just haven't had enough time yet? Really?

Yes!

Well, I guess I can say no more. I'm done and I'll just wait and see if I will be using New Sonar or not. Will have to brush up on studio One and reaper. Although I am more familiar with Reaper. Feel like I am leaving an old friend, well I am. Wish it was different but I honestly believe they will stick with their subscription scheme and the hell with the rest of us 30+ years Cakewalk Users............ I was actually warned in another forum that I frequent years ago that this would happen. I argued for CW and said no way. They may have subscriptions but they also will sell it to us...........Guess they were right and I was wrong. ?

We all know we DO NOT OWN the software. That's been a thing, like forever. The development of Sonar is obviously pretty much done. Yes updates will be needed down the road. I get it's a bit more complicated than JUST a Subscription. Some how these other DAW companies miraculously manage to do it-offer both I mean-Or just sell!
