Well - Project 5 does not seems to be very available these days.
But... I was lucky today...
A music store was selling out some old stuff. There was a small pile of old software they asked €30,- for.
The software was... and old Reason 3 upgrade box, Cycling 74 Pluggo, Guitar Tracks Pro 3... and Project 5 Version 2.
Do I have to tell you I bought the whole pile, just to get my hands on Project 5?
Well - that was exactly what I did...
Don't get me wrong - I also own X1 Producer, but I have played with the Project 5 demo a while ago and I really liked it. However - the price at that time (€ 250,-) was a bit too much for me. In stead I bought Ableton Live Intro. Although it is a nice program - the cheap Intro version is very, very, very, very, very limited - and the full version is out of reach (€ 325,-) for now.
So - I am very glad to get my hands on Project 5. As this is a no-limited version this is a perfect replacement for Ableton Live Intro. Sure - Project 5 is no longer supported, and wont get any upgrades any longer - but in it's present incarnation it does exactly what I was looking for, so I don't mind. It runs without a hiccup on Windows 7 64bit, and I can use all soft-synths and plugins that came with X1 (and the free FX/SOFT-synth stuff I downloaded). It even works perfect with my BCF 2000!
Man - I am happy now...
