Ignoring Good Advice

my dear departed mother taught me to never post on an internet forum after drinking beer but i`m throwing caution to the wind and need to paraphrase M Jagger:
"he can`t be a man because he doesn`t smoke the same cigarettes as me".
who really gives a ratsarse what version you use-find one that suits you and your particular needs and hardware and as Sunrise said in the X2 bunfight-learn what you have or move on or words to that effect.

lastly,and this is not a reflection on the talented hobbyist ,but Sonar,at 400 bucks may seem expensive for software but excluding half a dozen sm57`s it is one of the cheapest components in my studio and for insurance purposes represents around 1% of my total investment!
-FFS-all this breastbeating and wailing because version x/y doesn`t work really disappoints me and IMHO drags this and the upstairs forums down.

thumbs up to the Logic/Reaper/StudioOne users who contribute to the coffeehouse and provide some balance.

i hate the term "Fanbois"-it has a negative connotation-i am here cos i`m a fan of Sonar and to be frank,as my dear departed mother used to say:
"if you haven`t got anything nice to say don`t say anything"

so piss off with the negativity and bad product reviews and get back to why we are here:

and FFS-don`t upgrade just so you can whinge about new release bugs
cheers

    I wish with our licenses, we had access to the back versions..   I'd love to see 8.5...   I have a gut feeling that it is/was, "a great vintage."

    sorry,but without any specs in your sig you could be just another talented pirate with nothing better to do?

    LinearPhase: it`s horses for courses but 8.5.3 is perfect for tracking live and with a tad of Boost11 and LP64 you can achieve decent mixes and yes-it is ROCK SOLID!
    (excuse the capitals but how many times have you heard this)
    cheers

    Doesn't that advice negate about three contributors raison d'etre?

    Ya know I was thinking that last night.
    It would be nice if they offered like a membership kinda thing where ya paid a certain price to join then gave you access to any downloads with big discounts on new releases.


    It would have to automatically update your account with the links as they happen or they could make a special website just for members only to be able to access to what ever they wanted.


    Ya figure on average ya spend $400-500 for a Producer version, then annual upgrades at $100.   


    For a $1000 Id be all over that as a new customer

    2012 was, "the year of the great software on sale blitz."  As far as I am concerned.

    Lots of companies, not just Cakewalk, started to have software sales and prices that I had never seen before.

    I bought a lot of these softwares, and I have promised myself, "I'm not doing that again."
    Until 2012, my software collection was really tiny..   Synths were $200, compressor bundles were $249, DAWs were $500, $600...

    Now..  A lot of these prices are still the same, but every other week something goes on sale.

    What I also notice is that, "bug fixes rarely happen, the quality of a lot -- not all, companies has fallen to brick, and a lot of this software is akin to buying disposable razors at walgreens."

    Some of my software is still very much prized.. 

    But a lot of these vst plugins, and a lot of these daws and tools, I am taking a step back.  From and now, and for the foreseeable future, when I see sale, I am creating a mental RED FLAG.  I would prefer quality, over cheap!!   I am not going to be so duped, and taken out of my hard earned cash for these softwares anymore.

    Edit = aside from a couple of upgrades and updates that I had to purchase.  2012 has been a big disappointment, in terms of the $ I spent on my software collection.

    All software I purchased before 2012, I am/was extremely happy with. = 9 out of 10.

    2012 = 5 out of 10.
