So let me get this straight: we don't want to use technology because a) there are some idiots out there who don't know how to service it properly and b) there are idiots out there who push it beyond its design limitations.

That sure makes a lot of sense.

 

ABS is supposed to be there for an additional measure of safety on top of driving sensibly. Not so assholes can go driving around recklessly and with a careless disregard for their own safety and that of others.

Totally agree with this. Why on earth he disagrees is beyond me

I personally could care less how they choose to authorize it. I use to be a die hard Off Liner but as Noel just pointed out that's pointless. If you don't like a companies anti piracy policy shop elsewhere, and good luck.  

Probably in the minority here, but I find programs like Native Access, Waves Central, and IK's Authorization Manager an improvement over physical media and weird key codes. They keep track of my authorizations, let me know about updates, and Waves Central has useful utilities for cleaning up or repairing installs. I also appreciate that the way these manager programs are set up, getting everything back up after a hard drive crash or upgrading to a new computer is simple. Some of the download sizes are brutal, but with something like Komplete, that's better than looking for various CDs, DVDs, and authorization codes accumulated over the years. 

The technology giveth, and the technology taketh away

I'm sure it will still have Drum Replacer, VocalSync, Plug-In Load Balancing, and the Pow-r dithering options, but what about bundled plug-ins?

I'm assuming that, minimum, all the bundled plugins from past years that may or may not be locked to SONAR or CbB will work with New Sonar. I have a lot of 'em, and I use them regularly.

So! Any updates from the company? I'm trying to figure out what my next move is.

Need some informative noise.  You know, the updates you had us sign up for......?

There are newer threads where people have asked similar questions. There have even been some clarifications since September 2023.  If I had more time, I'd look a few up and post some links of other people asking similar questions and posts with additional information.

I wonder when I’ll  get an update to plasma by cakewalk, the early looper program.  From the beginning of the century.  Got it free in one of those English music rags with a cd and then upgraded it so I could do more than 4 or 8 tracks.  It would do acidified files before Sonar did, or at least home studio (my next upgrade!).

if cakewalk isn’t going to update P5 maybe they could make my old copy of Plasma work today.  What did I do with that CD?

A few suggestions: lean back in your chair, keep making music, enjoy CbB, have a beer (or two), walk the dog if you’ve got one, come back, put on your slippers and make some more music. It’s totally free of charge.

Rest assured that information will come the day Sonar is ready.
