Oh fer cryin' out loud. Now that link is giving me an error. The forum's been a little buggy today.

aaand it's working again. Yeesh.

Pyro must be popular mate! I'm getting a 'Runtime Error' message.

Got it now, thanks mate!

  I think the store in general is getting nailed. It took quite a while just to get the main specials list to load.  

Lucky you, you got an e-mail ..... A lot didn't. Thanks for the heads up !

Cheers,

What is Pyro and what does it do that I can't do with freeware?

What is Pyro and what does it do that I can't do with freeware? 

As far as I can tell it does all the stuff I used to do with Wavelab minus the actual high end audio mastering part (which I do with Sonar anyway). I was quite surprised to learn I could not create proper tags and stuff with Sonar. It also sounds like a better option than Media Player to handle my music library. Seriously WMP really bites these days.

I would look into freeware to do the same kind of stuff...there are some excellent tagging apps out there like ID3-TagIT or MP3Tag. You can probably get the rest of the functionality in freeware too. Although it may well be worth the $20 just to have everything integrated in one handy app. 

I'm trying to look into it but Cakewalk's site seems so slow and funky today. I'm looking at some expansion packs and it takes about a minute to load each page, with some not loading at all. For me this $20 is going to be a toss up between Pyro (if I can get some decent info) or some new sounds for Z3TA. 

Yeah... I figure I'm probably much safer using a Cake product than random freeware. Trying to keep the DAW as clean of weird stuff as possible. Been wanting to snag it for a while. 

Actually this will give me an excuse to fire up the rig and download some of the other stuff that's backlogged in my account like the updates and expansion packs. Just haven't had time. 

BTW it seems this $20 credit might expire at the end of the month. Don't quote me on that but that definitely seems to be how the email was worded.

Cheers.
