Surely it was obvious that Cakewalk wouldn't offer £200 worth of Blue Tube plugs for less than the upgrade price?
 
Otherwise some unscrupulous people might just upgrade to get the plugs to use in  studio one  another DAW.
 
How cheap would that be?

They did that with Addictive Drums.

Exactly.  Me, I had no idea what the Nomad plugins cost.  Heck, EZdrummer cost me $150.00 when I bought it when it first came out.  Now you can find it for $30 - 50 bucks at times.  I figured Cakewalk got a heck of a discount.  And yes, I'd love to use them in Studio One as well.  Or at least be able to use it in X2.

I can't imagine someone upgrading for the purpose of using those plugins in another app.  I was trying to use them in my video editor.  Would have been a nice bonus.

Craig Anderton just said this on another thread:
 
"Actually, Cakewalk is going in the opposite direction of what the OP thinks. Addictive Drums ($150) is a full version. The Nomad Factory bundle ($199) is a full version. "

Yes, but that was in the context of not being "lite," "bait-and-switch" versions. The concept of using the plugs in other software was not the focus of the thread.
 
That said, I was glad to hear that AD works with other programs, but that's not surprising given that XLN sells added content packs...so the more people who use AD, the greater the odds of people wanting extra content. I've also noticed that several Cakewalk plug-ins work in other programs.

Hi Craig (Mr. Anderton),
 
[First, my apologies to the OP, dubdisciple, for going off course here...]
 
How and/or when did you become an Administrator in the CW forums?  Never noticed your ranking before.  Has the take over already begun?  Maybe we can talk...
 
Kind regards,

if you like the nf plugs look out for their regular group buys, I got the full set for $50 not long ago :-)

lawp  thanks.  Maybe i will look out for a different set like the British bundle.  Can't imagine buying the same set of something I own just so I can occasionally apply a gate :)

Hi-
 
Just so there is zero confusion, the Nomad Factory Blue Tubes FX are locked to SONAR X3 Studio and Producer. This was the arrangement with Nomad but not to diminish that when you use SONAR X3 (which we are selling), you get the FULL version. The deal with Addictive Drums was different which is really a bonus for those using multiple DAWs.

Thanks Andrew.  It's not that big of a deal to me. I rarely do sound editing in my video editor anyway.

Any issues if I were to mark this [Answered] :)
