Was Kinetic really on sale for $29?

There was a thread about it that disappeared. Was it really available to registered Sonar 5 customers for $29?

I never got the email.

Was it some type of a practical joke?

I never got the email.

I am beginning to think it was a mistake, if in fact, there was an offer made. Hence, why the thread was pulled. Especially when registered Kinetic 1.0 users are expected to fork over $49, for the priviledge to upgrade to 2.0! That would be like Project 5 registered users being able to purchase a brand new full version of SONAR 6, for $99, two months after it's release, while registered SONAR 5 users had to pay $149, for the upgrade.

Great deal for P5 users, but a slap in the face to loyal SONAR users.

I could see maybe a K2 crossgrade deal, for the same upgrade fee that K1 users are now paying ($49), in maybe 6-12 months, but Kinetic 2.0 was just released 6-8 weeks ago.

YES!! there was an email and I already posted my response but CAKEWALK decided to delete my post (nice Job, I think this was a mistake).. I did order it today thru online adn then I talk to sales and tech dept. cuz I didn't believe, they didn't believe me at first till I read them the email and had the confirmation order number and sure enough It's legit.. I can even show you guys...

I can forward someone this email if they want it.. let me know ASAP you got till Sunday

I got the same email as Twitch, but mine was for $39 instead of $29 for Sonar 5 Customers. I think it must have been a mistake, because when I tried the link it was $59 for Registered Cakewalk Customers even though the offer was suppose to be good until July 23. From the email I got it reads "Test Offer", so I really don't know what that's all about.

Regards, JD....

Here is an update.. I got off the phone with Cakewalk to verify my purchase an sure enough.. it will ship out today.. and I was told there is no test version of Kinetic 2, I'm so happy.. Now I would like P5..

I got the email. Didn't save it tho. Kinetic for $29. Don't need it but thought it was a good deal. Seems like Cake is having a rash of these misleading/confusing offers lately. What up Dog?

Kinetic 2 for $29, and then $35 shipping to Canada. I'm not giving them a dime until they revisit their shipping policy to their North American neighbours, or until they realize it's 2006 and they could be providing downloadable versions as the majority in Canada have broadband.

Perhaps Cakewalk's next product should be a WORKING email mailing-list/distribution program.

No, no... I got Sonar 5 PE for $79 out of the system they have now. It's working just fine!!

Working fine for you, but not those of us who didn't get that offer... (I wonder if there are any book on dealing with Cakewalk email envy).

Heck, I didn't even get a response when I followed Cakewalk's advice on another thread about contacting support if you aren't receiving emails... Now I am just starting to feel a bit neglected...

Thanks inmazevo. My ISP may have a filtering problem and I might just be getting all the spam and none of the authentic emails. I had changed the email addy that CW had on my account and they updated it when I got SONAR 5, which makes me think that the new address may have been lost in their system somehow. I use several email addresses with 2 personal domains, a record label domain, a hosting company domain, my ISP and a free account and it's often confusing for me so I have been trying to narrow the ones I use down to just a couple of domains. Now that I am thinking about it, I use the label one with CW and it is highly possible that I gave them an address that goes directly to the company and it was never forwarded to me, or was deleted accidently (that domain gets more spam than I ever thought anyone could get). I will email CW gain later.
