What is the current state of the Free Content Club ?
I looked in my account and am not sure if I downloaded the most recent, nor am I sure how to tell which is the most recent. According to the blog, it began last October, every other month but I do not think I have gotten something every other month. Is something due this weekend? I think the last thing I got (or didn't bother with) was some stuff for dance music. I can't remember if it was June/July or July/August...
where are we on this?
Thanks,
J

So I guess there's no more. Well, I hope they renew it. I looked forward to the freebie every other month.

OH... I saw that but I thought it was for the freebie at that time (April). It never dawned on me that it was only Oct 2012 through April 2013... That seems a little odd to me.

We are currently reviewing the Content Club to see if it was a success with users. It ended August 31st, 2013. I think it's good to evaluate programs and see how we can improve them for customers.

Since I've never received an email or a survey from you guys... My opinion : the Content Club was a great success ! I would love to see it continue.

The only one I personally used was the 30 Day pass to Groove3 (Have yet to even try EDM Euphoria Compilation) and that's mainly because I have better sound libraries than what the content club offered, but that's just me personally. People who don't have a whole lot to work with I'm sure found the libraries useful.
Something I'd like to see if it continues would be things that all of us would find useful. Instead of common sound libraries with strings or drums, why not something many of us wouldn't have already such as a library of uncommon/obscure instruments like the Best Of Bolder Full Collection? Maybe make a PC module specifically for Content Club members that is only available through the Content Club (provided some time was spent on it and it's not complete rubbish meant as a quick gimmick to get people to join)? There is a ton of things that could be done to continue it if they really want to, but I think they would need to make it worth the time of people who have been doing this for a while.

I am sure there will be disagreement but consider a tiered content club, either with membership or ala cart, a free content club with whatever is free, a 10 dollar (or whatever) per EOM content club with more quality elements. I think from what I have seen 10 bcks EOM would likely be the breakpoint between quaity and price. If you go for more than 10 EOM the griping would increase exponentially. Everyone loves a bargain however.. everyone loves a freebie but a quality freebie EOM is going to be hard to come up with, especially in 64bit, cutting edge, and something (most) everyone will like.
This, however, is only my opinion and I reserve the right to be wrong.

I upgraded to Sonar X2 last week 8/26). I couldn't figure out how to download the free software for July-August. I followed the "download it today" link to my orders/account page. But there is no link there to download the EDM Euphoria Collection. Was it to have been an automated process? Is there something I missed? How can I get an active link now? Craig

There should be a download link to "EDM Euphoria Compilation by DanceMIDISamples.com" above the "My Registered Products" in your store account. If you cannot find the link contact customer support.

The way I see things, the Content Club is mostly advertising for the third parties, but in a form that makes it very appealing. I wouldn't expect anything costly to be offered.
I know that I now lust after AAS stuff which I'd never heard of before the freebie (actually two freebies, with the second AAS one).

If the Content Club is mostly advertising for third parties then the only one that worked on me was the Groove3 pass - I was so genuinely impressed by what they had to offer during that month that I ended up buying a year's subscription. Can't say I've really used any of the other stuff much, except maybe the AAS freebie which was nice. The EDM Euphoria Compilation was a bit cheesy and I say that as someone who loves electronic music...but I guess if your thing is mainstream EDM (Deadmau5 etc) then I can imagine you could find some use for it. Personally I'd like to see more in the way of sounds for Rapture and Dimension Pro.

ditto on the Groove 3 pass and AAS. This doesn't have to be something stupendous... maybe just some added sounds for the cakewalk synths... or free midi clips each month... or since AudioMidi went out of business, how about negotiating with some big VST vendors for a Stupid Deal of the Month for $9.99 like they did.

concentrating on providing anything with EDM is a waste of resources since it only appeals to a small segment of the user base and I personally will never use it. They need to reuse the first few free offers AAS DSF Drums for Session Drumer, those are way more universally useful.

It's interesting to note that, as I'm reading this particular thread, there's a Cakewalk banner at the top of the page that reads, "INTRODUCING THE SONAR PRODUCER X2 CONTENT CLUB", with a link to "Learn More" about a program that expired last week.

I loved the GROOVE 3 PASS but used it to learn Pro Tools!
I quite liked getting the AAS patch, especially as you get another one for free as well...... I have yet to use the Rock Drums tho which is on my list to try out.
