Nag Screen

[Arron Burke]

I bought cakewalk many years ago (twelve tone), and have been using it in one form or another since. I just installed the free level of the latest Sonar, looks quite usable, and probably has more features than I'll ever use. One disappointing event, a nag screen at the opening? What is this, the 80's? Such an annoying and useless "feature", nearly makes me want to uninstall.

Congratulations on busting your virgin cherry while using ANY kind of 'free' software.

That's 10 seconds of your life you're not going to get back.

If you posted this upstairs you may get more reactions. Surely a 10 sec nag screen is a small price to pay for free software ?

The nag screen and small number of omissions with regards to functionality I feel are a small price to pay for such a comprehensive, free program.  I am able to open songs from Sonar V2, V5, V8.5. (Bloody hell Harry!!).

Then there is Tracktion that doesn't do this. I don't think the UAD one does this either. That's an option but I don't like either of them.

I think in the highly competitive world of DAWs it's sub price is not to my liking.  I get that you are getting more services than a DAW but how many people find that appealing?  It must be enough to where they aren't changing their business model. Look at Waves and they still exist.
