Just watched some Scaler 2 vids and I'm impressed in a differenet way than with EZKeys 2. Since I own both I now need to dive into Scaler 2.

Hi All I owned Sonar Platinum Lifetime prior to Bandlab taking over. Will there be any kind of discounts for previous owners? It was built up from my original Sonar 8 upgrading regularly.

No one (publicly) knows the answer to that question and will not for some time (I'm imagining 2 - 3 months at least).

A lot of talk about 20+ years of backward compatibility but I can't count how many times a plugin developer would not replace their old (decommissioned) plugin with their own new version. More than once for sure.

Probably not ever a real big deal but I've learned that for a variety of reasons with 3rd party plugins s DAWs backward compatibility is not always all it's cracked up to be top just opening the project and everything just works..

Anyone has any experience with this one?

I subscribed based on vid I saw using it for a bass track. Interesting but not particularly groundbreaking. Limited testing, I know.

I dropped out of Mixcraft after my last version upgrade (9). I just never used it TBH.

So, not to be negative but, uninstalled!

 

Well, I broke down.

Installed!

But, but . . . trying to sort out where the comparisons are valid and where they fall apart is more fun than doing sudoku and crossword puzzles.

Also it is not as challenging as matrixed logic puzzles.  You know, "There are seven families on the same block living either next to each other or across the street whose last names are colors of the rainbow. Each has a car but only one owns a car that matches the family name.  Two have cars that match the name of their neighbors.  Three have cars that match the name of a family on the other side of the street. " etc.  ?  

Becan, the answer is *ALWAYS* becan.

Amazing how people self-flagellate due to displaced anger!

You can pretty much see this on TV daily.

BRB, ordering more popcorn....

Installed!

Imma have to order more popcorn due to the several threads here on this subject.

With all the talk about the good, the bad and the ugly *everyone* seems to overlook the greatest thing Meng ever did.

He carried forward my post count from the old forum.

That alone gets my money for the next SONAR version.

WTF is an audio engineer?

The main issue with subscriptions is that they are frequently set too high, and they are a pain in butt if you don't remember to update billing info.

AVID wants way too much for any version of Pro-Tools.

Reaper is probably the best bargain next to Cakewalk.

Cubase is probably fairly priced.

Ableton Live is a little high.

I would hope that BandLab offers current users and Gibson victims an upgrade deal.

 

One issue that I would like to see addressed is education.

BandLab needs to reach out to schools to create courses that would use CakeWalk.

You left off Harrison's Mixbus 32C. MSRP $349 but typically on sale for from $149 to $179.

As a former user of SPlat who keeps CbB up to date but uses Studio One Pro now, I will pay for the new SONAR (SOnew) as long as my collaborators continue to do so. We don't exchange project files but when I'm the genesis of a song I create a tracking shell in CbB that has all the tempo/markers etc along with .wav files of the song to track to. I do the same for my Studio One collaborators but that's a no brainer since it's already setup.

All my observations thus far are meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

for argument's sake, let's just call Sonar new 

So it's SOnew? ?

VI (some people swear by it, some people swear at it ?). 

I have a tizzie fit if I'm forced into using it.

In the "News & Announcements" section of this forum, there is a parallel thread going on.

In it Noel questions why a user is against subscription models and goes on to say why it can be beneficial.

He did not say the new products will be subscription based, but reading between the lines, maybe that will be a pricing option.
