What pays more?

Hello at all,
i got the option to buy sonar X1 producer ( ?,-€ ) or sonar X2 studio ( 75,-€ ). What is the better choice?
What is a fair price for X1 producer?
What i like in the X1 version is the pro channel.
Where are the difference between the X1 producer and X2 producer version?
 
Best regards, Tomas

.

To clarify (though you may very well be aware of this):
Since SONAR lisences are non-transferrable, and X1 has not been available for about a year, most of the X1:s that change owner at the moment do it illegally, you can't register them, get support or special upgrade prices.
 
But if you'll get a legit one, go for it.

Prices for legit full versions
X2 Studio $99
X2 Producer $399
 
You may see some discount from vendors... but I wouldn't expect much (given the recent lower cost).
If you see a price obviously below cost... you can be sure it's not legit.  (To clarify, I'm talking about X2)
If you want the Pro Channel, you'll need the Producer version.
 

.

It's definitely possible there are discounted versions of X1 at retail. If you find one, I do recommend you upgrade to X2 Producer as you get many more features. Good luck! Hope you become a user soon.

...Maybe that's cause I'm a glass 7/8ths full kinda guy. ;-)
 
 

I've always liked 7/8.
 

Yes... but how do you prefer to sub-divide that 7/8?
12, 12, 123
123, 12, 12
12, 123, 12
 

How did we get on hat sizes?

Hello,
thanks for your replays. Now i think i wil buy the X2 studio version because the other version is registered and that means what you've wrote, no support and no option for updates.
Sorry for my bad englisch but on this point i want to say something.
Many years ago i had worked with other sequencers ( Qbase, Logic, ... ) and never was realy happy with them.
A few month ago i had become a LE version of sonar with the A300PRO midikeyboard and and you know what ( i think you know it )? In short, the products of cakewalk and the company presence are very clearly, logical and user-friendly build on. The community here is very helpfull and friendly too. unfortunately, nowadays this is not normal. The information about audio mixing and more on the internetsite are very very helpfull.
I daresay many more positve about this forum and the company.
Thank you to bringing me back to have interrest in making music.
 
Thanks and best regards, Tomas 

Tomas,
 
you won't just not have support, an already registered SONAR will stop working after 30 days w/o the reg number.  Even w/ the reg number it might not work.
 
I'm the same as you.  I looked at the different DAWs (I was coming from tape/mixer and Sonic Foundry's Vegas audio/video program and Cakewalk seemed the easiest.  Other people find Cubase, or Logic, to be the best fit for them.  Everyone is different, but I liked Cakewalk and have stuck w/ it over the years and haven't been sorry.

My first copy of Cakewalk was a handoff from a guy who had tons of gear and got a copy with some piece of hardware and he didn't want it. I sure am glad he handed it to me.
