I'm in...
frankly I'd be in for the Gobbler and Melodyne integration alone, but the new comp feature looks great too.
My only thing is which version - I've used the producer version up till now, but the new content leaves me surprisingly cold. But that's as much a function of being an old fart that has already picked a lot of tools, and become comfortable with them as anything else. I sympathize with the bakers - they have to keep coming up with ways to make their newest product sparkly<G>! Ironically, in some cases I already own the tools, in other cases I've tried them but settled on alternate solutions.
There are two unknowns this time around - have they fixed any of my long-standing bugs? Usually they have addressed some of them.
I did a quick search and saw nothing about control data linking to notes, probably my biggest gripe, but I didn't find it. I hope they fixed this!
The other looming question is what will happen as a result of the pending acquisition... but I've decided that the Gobbler and ARA bits are worth ending up with an orphan because I'll get at least a couple of years out of it no matter what happens, and that's worth $150 to me.
Let's see how their servers are doing<G>...
