Every few hours


Every time a developer saves a code file, even if it does not compile ... ;-)

I think it's been going great. We're a good 15 months into this now, and I personally can't recall any significant problems with it.

Well, I didn't get the latest upgrade, because I just felt overwhelmed with new features that were coming too fast for me to keep up with.  For instance, I haven't really worked with the aux bus feature... or the Vocal Sync alignment (but plan to this week)... or the piano roll enhancements like the pattern tool.   I've had plenty of work interruptions... glitches that were not replicated later, crashes that I guess will not be fixed (Roland V-Vocal) or things that took time to stop and read the manual and search the forums to find an answer (like learning Audio Snap and take lanes) .  
Soooooo, I would prefer major concept introduction on a quarterly basis with more of an effort to find out issues related to workflow and conflicts and get these fixes out monthly.  It seems daw software has gone from a major annual or bi-annual update process with several fixes as needed, to a competitive race to get more, faster features than the competition.  I got last year's Platinum upgrade because of AD2 and Melodyne, along with other significant enhancements, which seemed to be well-integrated with the new upgrade.  It just seems now I'm not keeping up with the monthly thing.  jmho

I would like to see a Staff View month, followed by a Delete Hole month, followed by a Lock to Marker month, followed by a Docked PRV month, followed by a Lane Zoom month, followed by a ... well you get the picture.

So far I like it the way it is. I get to choose when, if not what I update. Although it is possible to somewhat selectively choose features via the CC.

...New Features should be introduced less frequently ( e.g. Quarterly ) with maintenance versions in the intervening months...

 
Maybe I'd be more likely to upgrade to the current version if that were the case. The prospect of frequent reinstalls is very off-putting to me. Years ago I might have said the opposite. Back then I used to reconfigure my whole system from scratch every few months. But now I'm over it and just want to leave it alone while it's working well and focus on other stuff.
 
Also large downloads are a problem here. Monthly limits apply. So that's a significant factor too.

Current model works for me.
