OK OK, after being enticed by all the emails on Platinum, I've finally just downloaded the free 60-day trial. I've been off the forums here for such a long time because I have been completely, totally satisfied with my X3 Producer. I absolutely love it. However, after watching some of the videos on Platinum's amazing features, I hadda have it LOL! So, here I go...
Even if you ignore the "amazing features", there are lots of little unsung improvements that you may never notice but that are just there and which make life easier.
...I do wish there had been more, but - hey - :)
Also, everybody talks about the CCC Command Center. Well, I was really skeptical because I have poor internet here so I have never used the CCC.
But what HAS happened is Sonar has been broken up into individual downloads which means whenever there's an update, all I need to download (directly - NOT with the CCC) is the Sonar exe and the Help file. Two files of 500Meg and 600Meg (Sonar exe grew from 390 in Hopkinton to 500 in Newwotzitport...), something I can do in 2 hours, including downloads that break down and need restarting.
Also, I didn't want a subscription. I got really loud when I heard that subs were to be introduced.
No problem, the 1-year version is just like in the old days. Almost, but easier to understand. You buy the current version and you get updates for a full 12 months. No further obligation.
