SONAR X3 Producer customers: Get the full SONAR Platinum experience for 60 days

We invite all SONAR X3 Producer customers to experience the full version of SONAR Platinum for 60 days - no purchase required. You can use it alongside SONAR X3 Producer and compare just how far SONAR has come over the last year. Get full functionality including the ability to save and export. And you'll also get Rolling Updates as we release them over your next 60 days.

I think this is cool, Cakewalk. With a fully working SPlat they will really see what have been done since X3, and see how the rolling updates works as they come. I love them
All the best.

This thread deserves more traffic ...
I find it very impressive that Cakewalk decided to give the X3 Producer holdouts this opportunity to take SPlat
(fully featured ) for a 2 month test drive
 
The most satisfying upgrade I have ever done as a SONAR user has been the the upgrade from X3 Producer to SPlat

When I upgraded from X3 to Platinum I was happy with the deal at that time. Why should a present opportunity created to attract other users now affect my happiness about my purchase all those months ago. What obligates Cakewalk to do something else for me now. Nothing. We should be glad as the more users that are on the current version the better for Cakewalks bottom line and the better the development and future of Cakewalk as a business.

Cake goes the extra mile! Good move for folks who haven't had an opportunity to experience Plat's speed and features.
 
 

couple of questions:

• i don't have x3, do i have to use the command center to get the trial/demo?
• what shared components will be effected by installing the trial? will they be rolled back if the rial is uninstalled?

This is a wonderful move... I am "moved" even though I've loved SPlt since day one... Awesome and wise... Love you, Bakers... allowing all who desire to experience how far this lovely DAW has come since X3...

I have X3 and tried to get the 60 days Platinum test. but after download and start of Platinum it works but without the Chance to safe a file. Is this the real 60 days test or did I do something wrong?

I clicked thr "download it today" above, so it should be the extended. Any chance to see what I really downloaded?

We'll look into this Monday. That is odd. It is the fully functional version with save/export.

Hi, Do you own SONAR X3 Producer?

Davykib
no, X3 Studio, so this is the reason....
I didn't watch that.

Ok, yeah that's the reason. We are working on rolling this out to other customers but few things we need to iron out.

I love my Producer X3.....but I think it might be time to upgrade.  Really hoping that I don't get surprised with the upgraded.  It's all working well.

I went from X2 to SPlat, I was extremely impressed. And so far, (machine packed in shipping container right now), it was running like a train under bootcamp on my Mac Pro too.

OK OK, after being enticed by all the emails on Platinum, I've finally just downloaded the free 60-day trial. I've been off the forums here for such a long time because I have been completely, totally satisfied with my X3 Producer. I absolutely love it. However, after watching some of the videos on Platinum's amazing features, I hadda have it LOL! So, here I go... 

Even if you ignore the "amazing features", there are lots of little unsung improvements that you may never notice but that are just there and which make life easier.
 
...I do wish there had been more, but - hey - :)
 
Also, everybody talks about the CCC Command Center. Well, I was really skeptical because I have poor internet here so I have never used the CCC.
 
But what HAS happened is Sonar has been broken up into individual downloads which means whenever there's an update, all I need to download (directly - NOT with the CCC) is the Sonar exe and the Help file. Two files of 500Meg and 600Meg (Sonar exe grew from 390 in Hopkinton to 500 in Newwotzitport...), something I can do in 2 hours, including downloads that break down and need restarting.
 
Also, I didn't want a subscription. I got really loud when I heard that subs were to be introduced.
 
No problem, the 1-year version is just like in the old days. Almost, but easier to understand. You buy the current version and you get updates for a full 12 months. No further obligation.
