SONAR 2025.07 - Free Version - Removes Perspectives and Multitasking in Export

[Milton Sica]

I installed the mandatory version of SONAR 2025.07 today. I am a user of the "free" version (???) and I noticed that the use of Perspectives and the Execution of multiple tasks during export, features that already exist in Cakewalk, are now listed as paid features.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I looked at the page announcing what was changed/improved in the new version and at no point did I see any information from the company that more features had been closed for use only by members of the paid version.

This seems quite unethical on the part of the company.

My comments in the specific thread for feedback on the new version were simply deleted without any feedback.
