I had the HR-16 and glued the interiors many times.  Loved that machine.

Why am I not surprised? :)

SONAR Platinum MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL Program:
Membership renewal price Platinum $79.00
...

I too would prefer an updated-core-only option for 75$ or similar.  An update that you could buy every once in a while to get the core up to date with all the bug fixes to that point.  This has been mentioned in the past.

I don't need any extras just update my Platinum DAW for $79.00
 
Sonar has started a membership program, let's tell them what we as members would like to from them, and now is the time because it gives us at least 6 months (based on my past experiences) before the programs start to get set in stone.
 
Myself I want Sonar to be the BEST Recording/Mastering DAW Period. Not a reseller of other's software.
 
Sonar are U listening.

Ditto on that.

With the conversion to subscription based upgrade in programming, the issue will be keeping essential bells and whistles relative to the core purpose up and the ongoing subscription rate down. The key to the success of the model is lower cost=more consistent subscribership.

We always have .
 
I used to believe in a perfect world too, but I've given up on that and now I sleep better.
 
 
EDIT:  the core also receives improvements and expansions, not just bug fixes..
 

I hear ya. But I don't think we have ever paid for bug fixes, those are just ongoing inconvenient truths. We pay for the DAW upgrade, the bug fixes are simply and ever present reality, we don't pay for them, that's my point. But yeah, the imperfect world gets closer to perfect when we put our uncompromising stamp on it, our stamp of 'Quality, not quantity' and show people that God is in the details instead of the devil. I admire people who strive for perfection though, because perfection is nice when one gets very close to it.

Different strokes for different folks I reckon...the AD 2 package is the main reason I upgraded!

What the hell is SS? Have we got mind-readers written on our stupid foreheads have we??? Geezzz. I'll take a guess and assume it means Sonar Sampler, but really, stop being lazy man, it's pretty hard to interpret such an acronym. I say again, if you want Geist then go get it, we don't need it. I will reiterate, your suggestion is merely your own want, it is not relevant to the majority of users, so why expect Cakewalk to even entertain such a wish?

Given the context of the previous exchange, I would have thought SS referred to Step Sequencer.

Can't please everyone..... Me? I'm happy with AD2, and I really like the fairfax kit - it's got some nice presets. Of course, I'm coming from EZDrummer so...
