Presonus May Offer a Special "Crossgrade" to Cakewalk Users
I spoke with Rick Naqvi of Presonus. He's aware of the issue with Cakewalk and said that by next week they may be offering a special crossgrade to Cakewalk users. However, I have no idea what that actually means.

Next week? It's on sale right now at 50% off - what's better, to take up the current discount or wait until that expires and potentially get a lesser discount?

Yeah... I see Sweetwater selling Studio One 3.5 Professional for $199. Tempting...
Studio One Artist to Pro upgrades are $149, and I don't see any kind of cross-grade special for us being lower than that. The Black Friday price of $199 seems most likely to me.

Might be able to shave a few additional dollars off if buying through Audio Deluxe or Plugin Boutique. Usually seems to be the way it works.
edit - just tried this at Audio Deluxe and got another $31 off - can be bought for $168.98 !!

+1 to the "50% off right now." JRRShop has Studio One Pro+Notion 6 outright (not a crossgrade) for $225 now - ironically, the crossgrade is more expensive. I haven't seen a crossgrade go below $199, and Notion 6 used to be $49 more (for S1P owners). I am not sure when that specific sale ends or what Presonus would offer better than that.
Only concern is that Studio One 3 is almost 3 years old now... but I guess if they get a large enough influx of new buyers, it might stay v3 for quite a while longer.
Edit: Quick clarification to the above... discount codes do not apply to that specific one, but does to others (check the deals forum). Seems JRRShop and AudioDeluxe are the two best deals atm.

I am seriously considering it at that price. Craig mentioned it's probably the Daw most similar to Sonar.

Ive just spent the last hr or so messing around w/ Studio One. Looks different but its a DAW.
there is a lot of groove3 videos for it.. an hour isn't any time to learn what isn't so obvious unless you know . e.g. things like scratchpad I did mention it to presonus, not to be "funny" with cakewalk. more a case of a lot of the users there want to changed to a daw , and theirs was getting mentioned a fair bit.. if people want updates, aren't getting em.. I think it's a fair call.. out of things I use , it's the nearest fit to sonar I felt. cubase is also, but I'm not feeling how they want money out of me for .5 updates. , but good if you are wanting notation.

Man I am SO used to SONAR that I've never even opened any other DAW software for 20 years! I think what I have will be OK for at least a couple of years maybe, unless something else comes out that is a 'must have' , OR the inevitable upgrade to new hardware/OS/softare doesn't jibe with the last lifetime version release.
Does Presonus look and operate like SONAR?

different company could buy it / rebrand it.. and ask for a nice update price.. your "lifetime" membership isn't valid for them.. with regard to the plugins... no issues, I had big headaches a few versions back however with NI kontakt and sonar, where both companies had to get involved. studio one actually blacklists problematic plugins. how sonar dealt with reason was way over engineered compared to other things I use. guitz

depends what you need to do, how you do it.. try the demo, but if you want to know how it works and have groove3 access , watch the videos, to speed that process up. it's a lot deeper than it initially looks.

Bold part ... what I mean is loading vsts like kontakt into a new instrument track in S1 3. They are slower to load up than in Sonar for me ( win 10, 16gb ram, core i5, sata 1tb ). S1 3 finds the vsts no problem.

I think how people react to change is different or the time they need to adapt. e.g. when sonar changed the interface etc. a few weren't happy. I've grown up having to use various thing, from when I was a 18 year old and had to learn the differences between cubase / c-lab on ST.. and then onward.. at work I setup video / music studios macs , so needed to know how to setup pro tools / logic / cubase / DP etc etc etc I had no interest in final cut , but also knew how to do that as well .. they all do the same functions .. play and record.. and store song parts. .if people take time to learn the stuff, then it's not so bad.. it's just that taking the time out to. I'm sure stuff is 2nd nature to you now.

My studio has 2 stations in our control room, one runs pro tools and one runs Sonar, I've always resorted to the Sonar station and let the other engineer deal with the pro tools stuff. Im going to continue using Sonar, but i know eventually i may just have to let it go :(. Im fairly young (26) but iv had Sonar for about 11 years now. I started on 7 Studio.

Downloading Studio One 3 demo now. Trying to stay positive. Looking at a new DAW is like starting on a new exciting adventure. If I don't try and stay positive, I'll end up weeping in the corner over the loss of Sonar Platinum and it's "so called" lifetime subscription.

I've looked at the Studio One 3 reference manual (13% the number of pages as the Sonar manual) and also at some online tutorials and demos, and I'm having a hard time getting excited about it. I use software synths and hardware synths, and I do a lot of editing in Sonar's staff view. In the manual and tutorials, I didn't see any equivalent to Sonar's staff view or MIDI event list. Studio One seems to have a nice feature set for audio, but very little for MIDI editing. Of course, I'd be happy to be contradicted by an experienced S1 user.
I don't want to jump until I find a product that has the features I need.

Rick just reiterated that they're working on something for Sonar users. I'm hoping it's better than a standard crossgrade but we'll see.
And for the record, I have 15 years and around 1600 songs that are all in Cakewalk format. So a computer with a working version of Sonar will HAVE to stay around for a long time. But life moves on.
