boston afternoon protest all sonar user's welcome.

so i know most dont agree here,but its still IN THE BACK OF OF MANY MINDS WHAT WILL BE THE TREND IN THE NEXT VERSION WITH CONTENT.
fact is  that sonar is overchargin and misleading customers with there marketing
 producer expandeds name needs to changed at the least.
expanded is nothin but a toolbox you pay for.  gives you nothing more than a toolbox
 to place more (overpriced content that should of been included in) 
SONAR PRODUCER EXPANDED.
 and just to be clear we are all sonar users and would much rather be focused on our music .
 but feel its not right that the ones who can throw money at a company seem to get perks and the kids who cant afford it ,we  get nothing ,  so in fact  cant keep there full version up to date , so we are only trying to make shure this trend with content being held back for more profit
 is not the trend for the future versions.
 
we will be gathering at berkley school of music at,11 am
there will be a large number of suffolk U kids so please lets stay focused on makin sonar better(fix the bugs( not use there resorces to make more plugins ,and making it more affordable is our goal,please carry your self in a respectful way.

Bro, it's 9 April, you're 8 days late with this post, but nice one anyway!

I understand your frustration and probably feeling that you are getting cheated...BUT...what you are asking for reminds me of someone who is for socialism (not that you are). Which in my opinion is about to ruin this country. People are created equal in the respect that they have an equal chance at making something of themselves and reaping the rewards. Socialism means that the hard working people must work so they can share their rewards with everyone else who would rather sit on their behinds and do nothing. Cakewalk is a company trying to generate revenue. They are not keeping any of their products from anyone if you choose to buy it. If my studio generates revenue, then I am capable of buying more tools of the trade. I feel that Cakewalk has "given" us plenty for the money we pay for it. If we want "bling" for our DAW it is available. Sorry for the continuous paragraph...I'm on FireFox at the moment. This is in no way a personal hit toward the OP...just my opinion on the subject.

Sickvision, I have a challenge for you. See if you can make a post that's different from all your other posts. 

cakewalk are a business, they will do whatever they (or roland) think they need to to make money

maybe cake do educational licensing?

I'm from Boston, and I jam quite often with Berklee teachers and students. However all of the versions of Sonar that I've owned have worked fantastic for me. (I've been one of the lucky ones I guess). Plus I don't think my day job would appreciate me taking the day off to protest a computer program (that I actually like.)

Occupy Cakewalk!

268 Summer St.... Come on down, bring your kids and your neighbors... we got hot cocoa, djembes, and a bullhorn!

What would I like to talk about that's more important than this? I can't think of anything less important. You want stuff to be free. Stuff isn't free. Learn to live with it. 

You might like to consider Reaper.

Learn the difference between "their" and "there" and perhaps you might be taken more seriously.  OF course then you'll need to work on your logic.

I suspect it will take much more than this.  


It's unfortunate that we are seeing someone spiral down into a never ending rant right in front of us.  One that when stated once, maybe twice, might actually have a hint of a point, but when it becomes the central theme of ones existence on an online forum, simply becomes ... well, you can fill in the blank with whatever word you choose.  

Unfortunately, this is an argument based on what most see as completely optional components of Sonar X1, nothing that was ever promised as free for ever add-ons when he purchased it.  The thought that somehow he can no longer make music because we now have the ability to purchase additional optional content has somehow invalidated his original purchase in his mind.  Somehow additional ProChannel modules are now a requirement to do what he used to do instead of a completely optional tool to use as they are seen by every other Sonar user.  Somehow when Cakewalk released additional modules at a price, the game was changed right under his feet.  Somehow the ones that were included with Sonar X1 Producer, as gratis new features,became useless tools unless he could get the new ones for free forever.  They were now nickel and diming him for things that all of us know are "optional", as in not required, not a core product capability, just another tool in the toolbox if we choose to buy into and use it.

I've mentioned to him in other posts, that perhaps it's time to step away, time to get back to focusing on making music as he once did, time to stop playing the "keeping up with the Joneses" game he seems intent on defining his enjoyment from both the act of making music and the tools used for it.  I still feel the same way.
