The ORIGINAL point wasn't that there wasn't/shouldn't be an upgrade path from the FREE Halion Sonice SE,
but rather that there was no upgrade path for purchaser's of CUBASE PRO. If they wanted to sell more product,
they would/should offer Cubase Pro users an upgrade path. Studio One includes Impakt, for free, and then, if you want
the more advanced features, you can buy the Editor Add On.
COMMON SENSE Marketing says "Hey, if our customers pay $600 for a DAW, shouldn't we throw them a bone
to spend more money with us? (which is something SERIOUSLY lacking these days)"
So I think people missed the point entirely...it had nothing to do with the FREE Halion Sonic SE, but rather with Cubase
Pro users getting an upgrade path to Halion Full Version, so hopefully that has been cleared up. Really they should include
a PAID version of Halion with Cubase Pro ANYWAYS!
