Hey Beagle, the very same people who are berating you in another thread for "dragging up old ancient history" will be the FIRST to post whining , biotching, and being outraged when CW sinks and how could they do this to me?
I want to be positive and be told I was wrong....
At this time I dont think so...

I may well not buy X3 either, but not because I have a grudge against a new owner. Unless there are some really useful new features in MIDI and softsynth technology, I probably already have as much Sonar as I will ever use. I have long ago given up on notation. Things like pitch correction and loop construction are useless to me, and most of the audio processing plugins are almost useless for someone who primarily uses a microphone for sampling.
DAW software is rapidly reaching the point that office suites hit with Office 2000. New "innovations" are pretty much not applicable to the work they are meant to do. Will Sonar X3 have an associated cloud account?

I've said before and I'll say again...TASCAM will not receive another dollar of mine for software!
I'll switch DAWs first or just continue to use what I have...PRE-TASCAM software.
Good luck ...with whatever you do.

If forums had been around in 1965:
"I won't buy another Fender guitar because CBS cancelled the Honeymooners"
That writer would be kicking himself today for missing out on a chance to buy a pre-CBS Strat at normal retail. Perhaps the incentive to buy X3 is to grab the last pre-TASCAM version. Think of the resale value in 20 years!
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Do great minds think similarly? Since I do not have a great mind, I'm not sure.

Extrapolation can sometimes be a healthy thing....just sayin'.
Since I never looked at software as a one time thing I don't feel the need to get attached to it either way. It does what it does and it will continue to be modified to better suit most interests. If nothing ever happened platforms and software would become obsolete with the rest of the world. By it's very nature software must keep developing or the income stream will dry up. If a person wants to keep making midi with that old Atari that's up to them but it won't change the inevitable progression. We can hang onto an older version for a pretty long time and it will still be valid but eventually the hardware will fail and the old replacements won't be available, so I see it as pay us now or pay us later or pay someone else but if you're in the game you need the change eventually...........did I see a bacon guitar ? Why is it ok to have GAS unless it's software? To me GAS is GAS either way.

I know how you feel Beagle. I remember buying a particular kind of car and having nothing but trouble with it. To this day I won't even consider buying that brand. I never bought Gigastudio but I was really tempted at the time. There were only a few other strong contenders. Yellow Tools is still around I think. At the time besides Kontakt they were gaining momentum. Now Kontakt pretty much rules the roost even though they managed to slight more than a few users at one time or another. Dimension Pro is nothing to sneeze at for some kinds of things. Most decent DAWs now come with some kind of sample playback.
I think I might have SAS. ( software aquisition syndrome)

Didn't Fender announce that they were changing the becan formulation? Instead of being made out of the nasty "pork" stuff they were making a "new improved" version out of tofu with "natural becan flavoring" all at a sustantial saving over the cost of the old becan. They found that by adding 112 different chemicals (better eating through chemistry) they could get tofu to fry up crispy.

And here I thought I was being sarcastic. Share via Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud, and YouTube Integrated Gobbler cloud saving and sharing Can someone help me find a midi/softsynth feature I did not already get by buying every upgrade since before Pro Audio? Lounge Lizard guitar emulation---why not just use samples if you want to make a computer sound like an physical instrument? Tassman would have been an interesting AAS product, but not to me since I already own it.
