So one final question, since I already have AD2 with 3 kits, do I get to choose another 3 kits or do I just keep what I already have?
 

Yes, you get 3 more ADpaks, 3 more MIDIpaks, and 3 more kit pieces.

What if I already own everything They make???

I think his point may be that he's seeing his $149 as paying for the new features as well as the "coming soon" features and he'd rather only pay for the new features already released that he can evaluate before buying.
 
It's just a different way of looking at the pricing structure. To me I (too) am not going to pay $149 for promises, but I choose to look at it as I can evaluate the current new features to see if they're worth the upgrade cost and then I get a year's worth of free stuff.

That seems very fair. I can understand that logic. 

I'm still not quite clear on what happens a year from now though (assuming I did the yearly upgrade now). What would I be paying for at that point?

You'd be paying for more features, updates, contents for the next year. You will have a year to decide if that is of value to you.

Again,
Did you guys fix the Concrete Limiter PC module that we paid for?
No mention of Concrete Limiter from what I can see...

I don't know. That's impressive though.

Thank you and again sorry for my frustration before my head just wasn't wrapping around the concept

This is not included in SONAR. If you have a specific question about it, I'd start a new thread about it. I am not sure which fix you were inquiring about.

If you step back and think about X3, upgrades (Producer to Producer) were $149... the patches that followed were not guaranteed for that purchase (remember X2??), but patches to X3 came pretty fast and furious, which was a real treat for us. As far as going forward, the $149 pays for a year (time period) versus a version (i.e. "X4") is actually more minutiae from that perspective. I would far prefer seeing the support we saw with X3 continue going forward, and it also benefits the bakers in that there is not a "self-contained" version to package at each development stage. To the folks who upgrade regularly, it is actually just a change in the name.
 
For folks who jumped onto X3 after the X3e patch was released (for half price)... they got the same thing I paid double for, so this new structure seems to also equalize this (at the assumption that the one-time price for 12 months doesn't become $75... which seems unlikely since there will not be a "new version" in the pipeline).

Sooo... the upgrade price for Producer is going to go up to $200? Okay now I'm gonna do a bit of grumbling... that's gettin' pretty steep, guys. Hope there will be plenty of sales throughout the year.
