Hello Everyone,
 
I had a very hard time figuring out Sonar X1 LE, because all the tutorials are meant for full versions, differing much in capabilities (often I didn't even know if something is supposed to work or if it's limited). In such case I want to ask if there's any chance to upgrade from X1 LE to Essential or Producer? I guess this would be cheaper than buying the full version anew, and I found such offer on the web but it was already expired.

Thanks for help,
Maciej

Pricing for Sonar is here:
https://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Versions#start
 
it would imply that owning Sonar X1 LE is "any other version of Sonar" for pricing, thus 
Artist                    Professional              Platinum
$49 or $4.99/m     $149 or $14.99/m     $399 or $39.99/m

Hehe, I see even the lightest Artist version would suffice for me. Thanks - this was possible to find but I simply went too far away. Downloading trial right now, I'll see if my brain is constructed compatible enough to get friendly with it

Good timing...we are running a promotion right now with great pricing for SONAR LE customers:

wow - $29 for Artist upgrade - nice!

I will definitely go for this one. Currently I'm trying to do the routing of Konakt 5 so every stereo channel goes into a separate track. While I'm getting sound from Kontakt and its signal pops up on correct track meters, I hear nothing when typing the notes in Piano Roll or playing the thing back. Output set to integrated sound card through Asio4All. Any ideas?

And then the good news is they will also offer you incredible deals to upgrade to the full version down the road. I started with LE and now have my hands on the full Platinum version. By taking advantage of the offers I probably paid 2/3 of the best price you pay for it outright. In a way that little free copy of LE has a value of around $100. Not bad when you get it with a Roland keyboard that costs $129.
