T Boog Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Im still on CbB. If Cakewalk Sonar had a reasonable one time purchase option(which I could swear they were assuring us they would), Id buy it immediately. But the subscription thing is MASSIVE turnoff to me and I feel jerked around by all the inconsistent/indecisive messaging. I like the Cakewalk daw and Id like to stay loyal to the Cakewalk team but forcing a subscription has me making plans elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this point, if Bandlab gave us the option for a perpetual license, the number of people that would buy it might pay the bills for the developers for maybe a month. After that, then what? They will still be dependent on the rental revenue or as a loss leader. Why bother. I think they are best off just sticking to their original decision for rental only. That is either financially successful or it’s not. Edited 9 hours ago by Terry Kelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Kelley Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I don’t know. There were a lot of people on the old forum and now here, but the current numbers are unknown. I just believe that Bandlab’s future is more driven by new subscriptions to their service vs old users. It appears many moved on and that why I believe the revenue from sales might be low. Who knows.
