It just struck me as being the exact same figure as Cakewalk was telling me that I'd 'save' by upgrading to the Xmas Production Suite bundle.

 
Ah.... I see.   A potential case of cost dyslexia.  
 
Mike's usually more accurate than that, even if his posts are sometimes overly transparent, but hey, no big deal.  Mike's stance on PC has no relevance to me anyway - I use what I like and I like what I use.   Or to put it in more English terms, I know what I like and like what I know.   Says Peter (and Phil!).  
 

I demand to be able to pay full price and then some 'exchange rate' special on top.... it's my right as a fanboi to not have anything cheaper than full price.

Also isn't that a "value" not a price? Isn't it an estimate of its worth? Isn't worth subject to what someone is willing to pay? Price is the figure that matters. I don't anyone has paid that price!

Exactly why UK Trading Standards have a clear policy over claims that a UK based company can make on 'value'.

Last time I looked CW is in the US. Not sure about the point of your posts Jonbouy. Unless it is in defense of Mike. Perhaps as a neutral member you could see the point I am making or am I asking too much?

That is currently at $564.50


Well, that only reflects the current $49.00 Expanded upgrade price... did you mean to include the price of a free standing license of Expanded?

I've seen that at $499 but maybe it's come down since I last looked.

And some here think Waves is overpriced!

I thought *I* was supposed to be the troll....

holy frickin wow.

 
Ditto.
 
I can't believe this thread has gone for 14 pages either.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PS... Is the PC2A really a VST?

This is the anti thread to the "Sound Quality of Sonar" thread. As soon as they touch each other they'll destroy themselves.

I don't know this one seems to have a content quotient that seems real enough.

It might cause the forum to collapse on itself and pull us all into the singularity that will form.

Beagle, I don't know how to tell you this but I believe your avatar might be wearing a mask....

I suspected it might be a ploy to slow Bapu down. He'll think you've gone missing from the forum for a while and his posting rate will slow down a little, allowing you to increase your lead a bit more.

Ah got it. I've heard of Sesame street but never seen it...

PS... Is the PC2A really a VST?   


If I may, it seems like a more pertinent question might be:

Would the PC2A run bug free if it was "dual moduled" and used as a normal or real VST in the FX bin?

I think it's the PC architecture that's buggared. I know it seems like each  made by Cakewalk ProChannel module has been released with a bug but I'll bet all those bugs have more to do with the PC channel strip and it's  implementation than the actual signal processing. I'll bet the VST part of the made by Cakewalk PC modules work great. It seems ironic that you pay extra so you can only use the Cakewalk modules in PC and then you don't really have a chance to know if they work better as "normal" VST plugins

best regards,
mike

I don't mean to sound like a ProChannel fanboy, as I'm really just a believer in the use what you want to use and care little for whatever others choose to use, type person, but I find your thought that it's the architecture that's buggy because each module released has had bugs to be the logical conclusion, a bit of your bias coming to the surface..  Color me surprised - software with bugs. Who would have thought? 


So by your reasoning, if they had simply made them VST plugins they could have remained at version 1.0 forever.  Furthermore all the VST plugins that I own have only been updated when features have been added?  Never to fix bugs?   


All software has bugs - to assume it's the ProChannel architecture to blame for problems people have had, many of which are inconsistent in nature or unreproducible for others, really seems driven by your dislike of the ProChannel feature and not the demonstrated logic you usually base you observations on.


I'll admit that I like ProChannel, but readily admit it's as likely to have bugs as any other software product I own.  It's impossible to test software with every combination of hardware and software the end user may be using at any given moment so bugs are likely to be found after a product is released and required bug fixes put in place.  


Just seems like a bit of a stretch to me to make that assumption.
