The suspense is killing me.....

I check every day.  I know, I know, it'll be ready when it's ready.  ?

[Michael Vogel]

You and me both.

Yup!

 

 I’m in the club too. I check many times each day!

Same here. I'm sad about the closing of the original thread.

Every now and then the bakers gave us some information in there.

What about opening a new one to get new information again? ?

I'm not really sure there even is any new stuff to talk about, honestly. From everything I've seen posted they're still at work on the upcoming products and there's some logistics to get past for the CbB stuff.  Seeing Mark mention the back-end stuff, I wonder if that's got something to do with people testing Next out taking a while to get happening? It sounds like there's going to be some kind of public/semi-public beta for it, rather than the closed internal testing they've had so far (just speculating here, no insider knowledge on that either way)

All true...

 

But hopefully enuf of the initial fracas has died down by now?

I'd even be happy with a one-way stream from them with occasional juicy tidbits. Enticements? Advertising?

They could even make tantalizing jokes! (?)

A watched kettle will boil eventually, but instead of watching it boil you could be making music.  ?

I hope the above doesn't count as derailing a thread ?

A thread like this probably needs some derailing to survive? ?

Yeah.  I can't wait to pay for Sonar again.

I am curious to see if the next/last CbB will go through the Early Access Program prior to final release.

Kind regards,

If you read what they said, all they are doing with CbB is a few bug fixes they had already worked out before they switched over to working on the new products. My guess is that was ready to release back in December.  People keep excepting the last update of CbB will have new stuff added??  Why would they do that. You want new stuff? from now on you pay for it and it's called Sonar.

The only "new feature" many are hoping for is the removal of the authorization time out. But I wouldn't put money on that either. They still might want to track how many people are still using CbB and not upgrading to Sonar. That is valuable information for a business to have. Say 2 years from now they still see a huge majority of people are still using CbB and Sonar is not doing that well. If it was my business I would most certainly pull the plug on the free version.  

 Next is a totally different kettle of fish and I have a feeling it will be the winner for them. 

There is obviously a good reason why they want to release everything all at once.

Relax, in my book Cakewalk "soon" means 6 months, so christmas time is to be expected.

I hope there will be as before, versions with less content which I don't need anyway and those with everything included.

- I would not mind even without ProChannel as I have on my Sonar Artist 2015

- I just find it annoying to ensure that is disabled in templates used

- and that you can have Sonar offline forever if so, no regular activate of any sort

Good observation. I imagine it's worth the cost of server activity and clerical work to spend. At least for a while?

 

BTW I can see that’s gonna be a busy server day! (Week/month)
