I hope it does list at $499. Might weed out some of the crowd who are shocked and upset to hear that recording takes an actual expenditure of time, money and effort. Won't do anything about the crybabies with an entitlement mentality who are still sniveling about what they are "owed." They'd still bitch and moan if it was $1.

That's their own damn fault. Who told them to get all wound around the axle about things they have no control over and that haven't even been decided yet?

Who cares whether you have any use for it or not. Many people do. Again, who cares whether you have any use for it or not. Many people do. Yet again, who cares? That is your own choice. That may not be other people's choice.

Nobody needs all the features. Nobody needs all the features. Your statement here is a Reductio ad Absurdum. That and you're trying to move the goalposts. We also never hear back from these people who get frustrated and jump ship. Never get to hear about the issues they run into over in those allegedly greener pastures. I'm sure my experience is not unique but the list of features I don't use is much longer than the list of ones I do. However, there are features not available in entry level products that really make life easier. For me, the value of all that extra money is in those features I do use that are not to be found outside the full product as well as in not hitting that wall where suddenly you can't accomplish what you want to do because of a missing feature. Like my other expensive hobby. Nobody needs a full featured camera; you can take perfectly good pictures with your phone. But when you can choose lenses with different focal lengths it opens a whole new world to you. When you can focus on what you want instead of what the camera decides, it opens a whole new world to you. When you can choose the aperture and/ or shutter speed you want to get the specific effect you want, it opens a whole new world to you. Just getting by is suboptimal.

Is that so? How about naming them?

Wrong. There was SONAR Home Studio, Artist, Studio and Platinum. Platinum had many more features, not just more plugins. https://gaga.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Versions#start You're right about the price. It wasn't $500, it was $499. https://gaga.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Buy-Now/SONAR-Platinum#start

TTS-1 accomplishes the same thing.

That's kind of like how Pro Tools is the industry standard. Pro Tools is only the industry standard because it's the industry standard, not because it's any better than anything else. I get a real kick out of how every time they come out with a new version they trumpet the great new features. Features that every other DAW on the planet has had for years.

Black Sabbath and their radical tempo changes didn't need no stinkin' Audiosnap! Of course, they did it on purpose.

Audiosnap is best used on short clips and even then it takes a lot of trial and error and manual editing to get usable results. Just slapping it on a whole track and expecting magic is a recipe for disappointment.

Libre Office does 90% of what MS office does. Even opens MS files too. The other 10% are features no one uses anyway.

I guess maybe it's a gamma then?

I got news for ya there, Sparky. All software has bugs.

You know this "recent update" is a beta, right?

You know it's a beta, don't you?

Why on earth would you want to use the world's worst sounding GM synth is beyond me though....

It is documented and it is also documented that "M" is for markers. Perhaps you should have RTFM before bringing a two year old thread back from the dead, spouting off half cocked and making yourself look like an ***** Meanwhile, there are people with actual problems.

Don't be jealous because your overpriced piece of crap pocket computer can't handle basic computer functions like dragging and dropping files over to it.

Oh dear Jesus! Really?

Obviously one more reason that Crapple sucks.

I keep forgetting to fork over a donation.

I just drag and drop the file onto my phone. Play back. Just like any CD I ripped or album I got from Amazon. I don't understand what the problem is.

You need to activate it. Also, Cakewalk is far from a simple editor. It is a full-featured, professional level DAW.

Why wouldn't you?
