There's a price to be paid if you buy early ie you may have to deal with early bugs until they get fixed but you have the use of the new features straight away..
If you leave it too late to buy then you may miss out. I've always been an upgrade early person because history has taught me that when Cakewalk or any vendor changes their methods, it's the people who were in early that get disadvantaged the least. Sorry you may miss out.
On the other hand theirs nothing stopping you from contacting sales and asking if you can still get an upgrade. There might be a slip up with the change to the store, sales models etc.

willieb65 I've been a Cakewalk user since 94 and CW3.01. I jumped to Pro Audio, then Sonar when it was introduced... Typically I've waited until a new version was announced, and grab the previous version at a really good price. I've been using X1, and was looking forward to X3 this month because this was typically when it dropped to $ 59.00 for previous Producer license holders.
Now I see all previous versions have been wiped out and you have to go with the new format ? (and the new price)...
That sucks. Thanks Cakewalk !@#$
Not sure if this question was for real or just trolling, but you can still get X3 upgrades from retailers, it seems. Case in point: http://www.musiciansfrien...sonar%20x3&index=5

Sorry, I misread the post, you're looking for the producer upgrade? I didn't really check since I already had it, but I don't remember it dropping to $59 for an upgrade, and it certainly wouldn't be that low for a two version jump from X1 to X3.

willieb65 Wow. I can see some things remain consistent on these forums :) 1) As to the remark about my "newness" to the forum. I've have subscribed to these forums and participated for many years, with my Cakewalk experience beginning with Pro 3.01 for windows back in 94. Your newbie jab was sadly misplaced.
2) In regards to upgrade pricing, it has been the case for years...that upgrading from Producer typically dipped from $ 59-$79 after a year of release. Not debatable. My purchase history shows it.
3) In reference to my Logic remark and the subsequent reply... "Good luck, you'll be back".... I've used Logic for years, it's a breeze. I happen to enjoy and employ both platforms. Like many I don't "put all of my eggs in one basket".
4) My post, which has been echoed by others, was simply stating disappointment that Sonar doesn't seem to support "legacy" users, when they create the "latest and greatest", it's shoved at you in an "all or nothing" fashion.
5) Thanks to Mike V. for the useful and cordial response.
Sincerely, I'm not a troll.
You are correct, Mike V did give you a useful and cordial response. Two things that have not shown up in your posts yet. And yet, several people have tried to help you. You are correct again. "Some things do remain consistent on these forums".

The best laid plans of mice and men! One basic, rule change will happen. Sorry you got caught and unable to pick up Sonar X3 at a very reduced price but there was never a guarantee CW would continue the same practice as they have in the past. In this I think you are just unlucky.

Bassdaddy's response: "You are correct, Mike V did give you a useful and cordial response. Two things that have not shown up in your posts yet. And yet, several people have tried to help you. You are correct again. "Some things do remain consistent on these forums". It must have been the mention of Mac. Sorry to disturb the delicate dynamic of the forum. Apologies to all for the intrusion.

No doubt you can find some vendor attempting to unload copies of X3.

No, it wasn't Mac. It was and is your tone. No one cares what computer you use. As a builder myself how can I or anyone give two hoots about what you like to use. Your post is a diatribe about not having the foresight to buy X3 at its lowest price. You place the blame on CW when it is your fault.

Correction. Perceived tone. I made a simple statement that forsaking all previous incarnations of a version of software, and bum-rushing the latest flavor exclusively sucks, and it does. Why not make other options available to long time users ? No tone, no diatribe, no blame. An opinion. Sorry.

My memory is that CW has changed how they offer their products often. There has never been any real guarantee through the years of keeping the same model of discounts from one year to the next. For the vast majority that do not update at the last minute they will not see any real difference.
