Are taking a poll??

I'll wait until it's included "free" in Volume 7. And then I'll upgrade from 6 if there are some really good additions. I currently own 84 of their plugins and I lease to own the Flow Mastering system.

I have 5, 6 and 7 installed. I'm covered for any project that opens any of those.

That too is my (limited) understanding.

(leave 'em) Installed! ?

Did anyone catch that Noel said that this sale is for noobs only, but "It would have been nice if it included existing members but there will be other promos." As the old Vanilla Fudge Song goes (a remake of The Supremes), "you just keep me hanging on"? I'm not singing that tune. No SUBS for DAWs for me.

Yeah, so uh...... pass. IOW @locrian (not) Installed!

So strange. I'm on 14U and no update to 2.x at all. I even did a reinstall. Still 1.5.3

I paid for one month. I just cancelled my subscription and I'll not subscribe again. If I need to open a .cwp I'll do so with CbB as long as it lives, and after that I'll reinstall SPlat. I'll come back to the "family home" if they offer a perpetual license. My goal is to convert all necessary .cwp file into Studio One

Can't Installed!

Ditto

Installed!

So I'm 12 days away from my month-to-month subscription ending which I just cancelled. Prolly the yearly subscription sale will be over by then.

+1

900? I have 4400+. Full rescans can take 20+ minutes. Good thing I'm just a hobbyist and don't have clients asking if they are paying for scan times if a reboot is needed. ? Most of the DAWs I own (12) only do a full scan if something changes in the plugin locations. If I haven't opened Studio One in a day or so it typically takes 5 minutes if nothing has changed in the plugin folders. If I close and re-open it typically takes < 1 minute (with no folder changes between usage on the same day). I refrain from that kind of activity. It would be overridden by version updates anyway. I do wish someone would invent a tool that truly does what you want as a front-end to any DAW plugin scanner. Probably would require some agreement from all developers on how that front-end would be hooked in to their DAW. One can dream, can't one?

So far, so good for me.

Flute = Installed!

As determined above, there is no path for Free HALion Sonic 7 to HALion 7 for $49. It's for HALion Sonic 7 Collection to HALion 7 (full). I misread the requirements. Steiny refunded the $49.

Any minute now.......

Maybe. However I had a long discussion with Noel at NAMM (pre COVID) about the arranger in Studio One. He implemented his idea of what that should be. The end result would be the same as Studio One but the path/workflow is really odd to me compared to my muscle memory of Studio One's arranger work flow. I use Studio One's Chord track too. I'm not a huge MIDI guy so the fact that Studio One lags behind Sonar's MIDI abilities is no big deal to me. Both Sonar and Studio One are just multi-track reorders for my use. So, I cannot say "Sonar is the best Pro Daw on the market" for me. Sonar is like my first love relationship, I remember it fondly but I'm no longer there and my new relationship makes me happy since it won't stop working if I choose to skip a major version upgrade for some period of time. My OP is about not offering a perpetual Sonar license. I'm not against subscription models (see my signature), sometimes they are about convenience, sometimes about cost. But when it comes to a DAW I stand by my principal of perpetual or not at all. I have perpetual licenses for Mixcraft, Samplitude, Pro Tools, Studio One, Reaper, Digital Performer, Bitwig, Cubase, Harrison, Reason & Luna (technically free). All but Samplitude are current. Samplitude still works if I needed it, even though I have not paid for last two version upgrades.
