Hi Brandon-

I don't. I didn't create the quoting system but for me at least it's really dead simple. You just indent - and in fact the proper indention is there for you by default.

Ok, so it's only an issue for Marketing [Cakewalk] and us simple folk! It used to be much easier to follow a thread and quote relevant portions. If you don't believe me, just check out the CH sticky on this.

Edit: It's here: http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=1777486

Thanks-

You appear to be many things Susan, but i suspect "simple" is not one of them.

(I hope this is taken in the complimentary fashion in which it is meant)

Absolutely, and thank you, sir! It only took me 2 tries to get the quoting right on this one, so I'm getting there!

ew,

the page clearly states:

*********
SONAR Upgrade offer

There has never been a better time to purchase SONAR 8. Whether you are new to SONAR 8 and buying it for the first time or upgrading from a previous version, you will be eligible to download the next paid update to SONAR absolutely free. Read on for more information and eligibility.

**********

Upgrade and update in the same paragraph.
*I* find that pretty confusing and agree with daveny5 that it means something different....not just in Cakewalk terminology but in IT speak in general.

Every use of the term "update" is preceded with the words "next paid", as in "next paid update". It never says "next version", "next upgrade", "next paid upgrade", "next version upgrade", "next paid version upgrade", or any other combination of the words "next", "paid", "upgrade", and "version".

The only place where "upgrade" is used ambiguously in that text is in the heading "SONAR Upgrade offer". But if you read the text it seems obvious to me that "upgrade" is only used in the context of upgrading older versions to v8. As in: if you've been waiting to upgrade to v8, here's an offer that we hope will help to make up your mind sooner rather than later. And if we didn't make this entirely clear: the economies bad, sales are down, and we need your money now, not later.

  Seems pretty deceptive to me.  In most circles in the software world, upgrade=new version release, update=point release.  I noticed after 3 emails the word "upgrade" is now changed here (http://www.cakewalk.com/sonarupgrade/) to "update".

  I vowed after Sonar 7,  I was thru with Sonar because of the annual upgrade and decided to give Sonar another shot thinking I could try v8 and get 9 for free.   So maybe I missed some fine print somewhere and not getting what I expected.

 If there is any software offer by any company where it is any way slightly misleading, they've lost any chance of my loyalty, money and recommendations.

 I guess what would clear it up form me is are those sneak peeks the next paid version of Sonar or are they for Sonar 9?

They are for this next paid update.

Sonar 9 comes out the following week.

 
 
They should mash 'em up and call it SONAR 8.9

Next paid update is 8.5.1

Cakewalk has said that Sonar 9 will NOT be released untill next year 2010. Probably this will happen next autum 2010 or earliest late spring, summer 2010.
