Here we go again, should I pull the trigger? I'm running X1d Studio, so is the $99 really worth it?

I bought Sonar HS7 for $49, then Sonar Studio X1 for $79, now Sonar Producer for $99? Grand total if I were to buy Producer $227

I bought Producer several versions ago and I don't want to add up what I've spent upgrading but I could have bought a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 if I hadn't.

Producer is worth it in your case - if you need what's in Producer, of course. Studio to Producer is a welcome leap.

But it won't end there.....

Mister Handsome has the right of it.

Then you'll want Expanded and the ....... and the .... and the ....

Mortgage the house, hock the jewelry and stop smoking... you're gonna need all the extra dosh you can get your hands on.

Unless there is another sale before X2 comes out.

Worth it.  Producer has most of the Cake jewels, tho some are on older versions.  But you get DimPro, Perfect Space, the LP series, the PC.  Again, I imagine PC Expanded will come w/ the next version of SONAR so I wouldn't pay for that unless they throw in some modules w/ it.

AT - again thanks for your insight. I think I'm going to return that Alesis 2ch compressor I bought. It's not doing what I thought it would do. Maybe the pro channel will take care of my stereo bus needs

I'd personally wait for the announce of the next paid upgrade version this late in the cycle.

It's normally preceeded by a 'buy it now and get the next paid update free Sale'.

Seems to be the way most companies have gone recently, in effect in this scenario you'd pay the upgrade from Studio to Producer which will then also entitle you to the next 'Producer' release in one go.  It is likely the 'Expanded' add-on trifle will be re-incorporated back into the 'Top of the Range' version too so they can sell modules to ALL users.

You heard it here first mark my words....

I also put a bet on that annoucement coming Christmas time ready for somewhere around a NAAM 2013 launch.

Post #4 is too vague.  I've dished the REAL dope.  Including dates and content.
