Hi irvin-
 
Since you're upgrading from SONAR X3 Studio, the way I read the chart is 29.99/month or 299.00 for a one-time upfront upgrade.

Hi Craig,
 
I believe that Irwin has X3 Studio.. From this quote "Very interesting. How does that work for people like me? I have a license for Sonar Studio X3." Thus the upgrade to Producer is a bigger jump that from producer to producer.
With that  said not sure if the updates planned for members of Professional will be quite the same as Platinum but it would be $99 dollars as opposed to 299. This is more apples to apples.. Not sure where the $360 came from but wanted to point this out. Thx.

Yes. It's $360 for the subscription or $300 upfront, as you say. Not $149, as Anderton claimed.
 
Worth noting that in the end, it amounts to paying a little more than a completely new customer would pay: $610 for me ($360 subscription plus $150 for initial version) vs $600 for the new customer ($50/month subscription).
 
Quite honestly, I'd be only interested in the subscription at a 'friendlier' price ($14.99) because I like Sonar, but I'm not in pressing need of any of the features (they are nice, don't get me wrong. VocalSync makes me salivate). I can continue working with Reaper. I'll wait for a better offer from Cakewalk or Reaper 5.0...whichever comes first.

29.99 x 12 = $359.88. That would be the cost of my subscription update from Sonar X3 Studio. amounts to $610 for a current customer like me (360 + 150 for Studio X3) vs $600 (49.99 x 12) for a new customer.

360 + 150 is $510, not $610; not to put too fine a point on it ;)!
 
I upgraded to X3e just a couple weeks before 2015 came out and I wish I'd waited, but what're ya gonna do?

Irvin,
Ok... I got it. However the 360 plus 150 (Cost of studio) is $510 which is a little less than for a new customer paying monthly. Still nothing to sneeze at .

Susan, you're 100% right. I stand corrected on the $610 statement.

Yes. My mistake. Susan corrected me, too. It becomes $510 vs $600 (or $450 vs $499 for a new customer).

And speaking of corrections...you're absolutely right, I stand corrected. I keyed in on "I'm on X3 and my upgrade subscription would cost $360" and assumed he was talking about Platinum. I guess I need to read instead of skim.
 
However, I'm not sure the comparison of someone who has owned Studio and presumably used it is a valid comparison to a new customer. I think it would be relevant to place some kind of value on the ability to use SONAR for however long someone used it prior to upgrading.

Not a problem. Math happens!
