CakeAlexS Sorry it might be hard to believe but I'm genuinely confused. Are you complaining about not knowing something you already happen to know? #29 #34.
I'm confused as to why you're so uptight about this/me. I'm not complaining about anything. For some reason I didn't see Craig's post but, as he so often says, he doesn't represent Cakewalk. So we're still waiting for Cakewalk's official ample warning.

Paul P So does one person getting an email constitute "ample notice" ? I received yet another email two days ago, still no mention of an Intro offer or an end date.
CakeAlexS I doubt the email was sent to 'one person'. Sorry it might be hard to believe but I'm genuinely confused. Are you complaining about not knowing something you already happen to know? #29 #34.

Well you seemed to be cheesed off about not getting an email from Cakewalk... fair enough but there is another TWO WEEKS for the offer to expire. So you are waiting on Cakewalk to tell you what you and others already know (although I don't see any need to wait)... Yup answer was way back in post #29 folks, confirmed in post #34 ... Over and out :).

You're not making sense Alex. I'm just waiting for Cakewalk to tell me, like they said they would.

Hi- I can understand why there's some confusion about the cutoff date. I've gotten 9 e-mails from Cakewalk News since the beginning of the year and none have mentioned when the price reduction ends. Edit: I never got the e-mail that rabeach did in post #29 about the end date being Feb 28. -Susan

Well I haven't got any email either about it either, it matters not to me as other posters have let me know in this very thread that the deadline is the end of the month. I guess that leaves plenty of time for others to be informed. Many thanks to them for being informative and letting the rest of us know.

Obviulsy it is best if companies publish their deadline to an offer. This I believe it is more profitable for company and eliminates any anxiety from the in this case an already happy customer with X3, like myself. I hate it when they that! Even with all said, I still will buy Cakewalk products. The mind does however keeps score on these things.

Hi Vas- I agree. If the date is definite, why only publish it to certain e-mail accounts & subject lines? That only raises questions. Just put it out there and be done with it. -Susan

Strange that Cakewalk is relying on you to get the word out They should have then told us that they'd make the announcement to a select few and that these were then expected to broadcast the information to the rest of us.

Get new SONAR Platinum features, plus everything you've been missing We wanted to make this latest upgrade to SONAR affordable for all customers using previous versions of SONAR Producer. So, you can upgrade your studio to SONAR Platinum—the flagship of the line that sets a new standard in DAW performance—for only $199. You’ll receive not only the amazing new features in SONAR Platinum like Mix Recall, REmatrix Solo ProChannel module, Addictive Drums 2, and VocalSync, but also all the cutting-edge features you missed in SONAR X3—Melodyne Essential with ARA Integration, ProChannel Tape Emulation, QuadCurve EQ ZOOM, Speed Comping, AAS instruments, and much more. SONAR Platinum has well over $1,500 in new features, but they’re all available now for a fraction of the cost.And you have much more to look forward to, thanks to an additional 12 free months of SONAR Membership. We'll be introducing a new Drum Replacer in the very near future, and exciting, permanently authorized updates in the year ahead.Watch videos of new SONAR featuresChoose the version of SONAR that is right for youSONAR Platinum Now Available - Buy it today You can now upgrade from your version of SONAR Producer to SONAR Platinum for $199.

At least SOME of you got email messages with the February cutoff date. And others got email messages with no cutoff date. I got an email message today (some of which is shown above) that says it will cost me $199.00 to upgrade NOW! This is hysterical! I guess I’ll get another email on March 1 st telling me my upgrade price is $499!  PERFECT!

Earwax And, on a serious note, it sucks that your significant other lost her job. Been there, experienced that. Luckily, my wife is once again gainfully employed. A speedy economic recover to both of you. There are LOTS of things more important than the latest edition of Sonar!
Thanks Earwax. My wife is in fact back at work, but for significantly less than before. She really likes her new job, much more than the previous one, so things are good, if tight. It's been a good lesson in appreciating the value of things, with people coming out on top  .

Glad to hear it! My wife, too, had to take a cut in pay. But she loves her new job. Far less stress and drama. So yes, a good values lesson indeed! Take care.
