Does anyone know if the 50% price reduction on Sonar is still valid on the website? I thought it all expired at the end of August?

The prices shown on the store website are always honored. Cakewalk has been known to let sales extend a little past the announced cutoff date.

Thanks :-)

It looks like the prices are still good as of a few moments ago.
 
They may end at some point today, or at midnight.  It is POSSIBLE that the sale may continue past today, but if they didn't say so, I would not count on it remaining in place.
 
If you are at all in a position to purchase, I think the sooner the better.  The price that shows when you start the purchase is indeed the price that you will be charged, so if the sale price is in place, which it currently is, then it will be honored.  Again, no guarantee how long that price will be out there.
 
Good luck - hope you pick it up - FABULOUS release.

Well I took the plunge and purchased X3 Producer ... but the download speeds are nothing short of criminal. Absolutely woeful. Three hours in and they still haven't finished. My download speeds are usually OK so the delay is at the sending server end.

They are sometimes slow - and there are likely quite a few folks taking advantage of the sale prices.  This also tends to happen when either a maintenance or a new release come out, as everybody wants it immediately.
 
Sorry for the delay - happy for your purchase.  You will have a blast with it.
 
I do not know if they are still doing it, but when X3 first came out, upon install, you would get a special offer, good for 30 days from the install date, to upgrade to the full version of Melodyne for something like $150.  I could NOT take advantage of that at the time, but wish I could have.
 
If they still have that, and you see such an offer - I urge you to consider it.  It is a GREAT deal - well worth it, even if you do not need it right away, having that in your arsenal is well worth going for.

Thanks Bob. I'm downloading this from work. About 2.5 hours ago I called home and said: "I might be a bit late!" Probably the understatement of the decade :-)

My connection is so slow I went ahead and ordered the box set and it arrived before the download finished...
 
Still had to download the patch (X3e) which took another 3.5 hours.

Was it delivered by a drone ?
