Kind of sucks though that you've so recently been pushing what amounts to half an upgrade based on promises of future goodies over the coming year and yet the first thing you announce has a price tag that's almost as much as people just paid for the upgrade ??

Thank you very much for the quick reply! Another question: are there Caykewalk staff who speak Russian, so I could get their advice on some technical questions?

This probably does mean that it will never be thrown in free with Sonar down the road too. Might have been a good idea for Cakewalk (if the maker permitted it) to sell only the ProChannel modules at say $50 as an incentive to get onto the Sonar bandwagon.

What's even worse is that we don't get a discounted price off of what we would be paying at Boz Digital anyways...it's $99 there too... So I waited all this time for nothing really...I could have just bought it and been done with it...
Mind you, this is a really nice Comp/EQ...but you'd think, being an "intro" offer for Cakewalk customers that it would at least be less then what Boz sells it for....
Oh well...que sera sera....

It doesn't look like the bundle on boz's website includes the PC version, so Cakewalk's would constitute a deal. I'll say one thing about boz, the support is out of this world ! I just downloaded the Bark of Dog plugin because it was free. For some reason the link didn't work (at first) so I emailed boz support. Got an answer in less than 5 minutes. From boz himself, no less. My difficulty kind of fixed itself so I now have the plugin. Haven't tried it out yet, though.

So, if bought directly from BOZ, do we get all the formats including PC? If I buy from SONAR in addition to PC, do we get the other formats for use in other environments? Just asking, JIm

I just had an email from Boz to say that the PC version is now included in the installer on the website. If you already own the David Bendeth Signature Series, the PC version will be in "Your Account". Great support- he answered my query within minutes.

I'm not seeing any info on the channel strip in the bundle package. A vid or something would be nice, to help me explain to the wife why this is a "must have" ... like some of the compressor presets...etc ;-D edit....just saw the NAMM videos.

paulo Kind of sucks though that you've so recently been pushing what amounts to half an upgrade based on promises of future goodies over the coming year and yet the first thing you announce has a price tag that's almost as much as people just paid for the upgrade ??
Consider this: "You can purchase the bundle today for only $99 and that includes all Mac/PC formats (VST, VST3, AU, AAX, RTAS and ProChannel)." Please be aware that Cakewalk sells products other than SONAR. The CA-2A is cross-platform and has sold very well because, well, it's pretty awesome. Cakewalk is clearly interested in offering something to Mac and non-SONAR users, while offering the bonus of ProChannel support if you are a SONAR user. This is very different from a Cakewalk-created upgrade to SONAR that's part of the membership program. As to the cost, I can quibble over whether a price that's 66% of the upgrade is "almost" as much, but Cakewalk is not going to undercut Boz Digital Labs' pricing. However, you DO receive a ProChannel version, which the Boz package does not include. [edit: apparently now it does]

Then I would recommend not buying it, and sending an email to Boz Digital Labs specifying why you think the price is not justified. Maybe they'll change it.

This may make me sound old but Sonar Platinum (and many other modern DAWs) offer absolutely astounding features for what I would have paid for a four track cassette deck 20 years ago! Expecting Cakewalk to throw in a third party VST bundle for free on top of what Sonar already provides may be somewhat unreasonable. Please bear in mind that I tend to be very grateful for everything I have in life!

I, for one, want to support SONAR and if I buy (I am close), I will buy it here even though there isn't any benefit to me other than supporting my favorite DAW company. I will demo it first for this is the OEM compressor built into the famous HELIOS (Dick Swettenham) desks used in Island Studios, Basing Street along with the Rolling Stone Mobile (made famous in the lyrics of SMOKE ON THE WATER). I know they used a lot of 1176's but for the goto compression on other tracks, it was this ADR compressor that was built into the Helios desk. You won't get BONZO's drum sound just with the compressor and for some of the drum mics, it was definitely part of the alchemy of the sound. Problem I have, is I don't remember how it is supposed to sound and I need to play around a bit... but, if I can coax some magic out of this baby, I will be putting my hard earned dough into the Bakers basket. Off the demo from the BOZ site, Jim

That's what we agreed to with Boz. We did work with him to port it over to ProChannel, which I think is a good for SONAR customers. This is a great deal at $99 so I hope customers will see the tremendous value and the great work Boz and David Bendeth did on this plugin.

NAMM floor is not the way to judge this plugin. There's a free demo on his site. We are working on some sound examples too.
