Make CbB perpetual license for 100-150 euro.

[Kurre]

If you make CbB perpetual license for 100-150 euro.

That gives you an extra income.

It should also mean that you can pay a procentage to Roland for TTS-1 and keep them happy.

Ought to suffice for some extra whining "property rights holders" if there are some.

Just a suggestion. 🎇

There are two major missteps with Sonar that have caused the most backlash and driven users to jump ship to other DAWs:

The new GUI – They’re only now starting to fix it almost two years on, but it should never have been released in that state.

The licensing model – Deeply unpopular from day one, with still no alternative option.

Both were completely avoidable own goals. With a bit of foresight and genuine engagement with the user base, neither issue needed to happen.

It’s a real shame — Sonar used to be one of the major DAWs in the industry. Now, for most people, it barely registers. Hopefully, now that they’ve finally addressed the GUI problem, they’ll listen to their users and rethink the licensing model.

Perpetual licenses were never an option for Bandlab financially. They need a continuous revenue stream.  So I don’t consider this a “mistake” as much as an unfortunate necessity given the baggage of the past.

I will be curious to see where the GUI finally lands once they get it completed. Getting close I think.
