I'm considering upgrading to Sonar X3. I currently own Sonar X1 and was wondering what the upgrade cost would be if I skipped X2 and upgraded to X3 vs upgrading to X2, which is currently on sale for $49, then upgrading to X3 for $149?
 
Thanks!

A fine question - dunno.
 
I would think upgrading to X2 now would be a fine thing.  I am confident that it will be less to upgrade from X2 to X3 than from X1 to X3.
 
Additionally, X2a is a fine product, and you may choose to upgrade to that now and then try out X3 as a demo, prior to purchasing that upgrade - just in case there are any snags with X3.
 
Just make sure your system meets the requirements for X2a first, in any case.

That sounds like a good idea Bob.
 
Thanks!!!!

it's normally more if you skip a version, but if you do get x2.. you might as well wait a long while to get x3 if you get x2.. and if there are any issues with it you have a more stable x2.. but if your tempted to buy x3 and in a rush, then I'd not bother with x2.. it all depends on your mentality regarding it.
 
the other daw I use by another company , I'm waiting for them to perhaps release a newer version, then go for a grace period update.
 

DO NOT GET X2!!! You will spend more money buying X2 and then X3. Just upgrade form X1 to X3 ,this is the cheapest solution if you go by the past 12 years of upgrading pricing

Once we get more details of what X3 offers, you can compare it with what X2 has to offer and THEN, see what fancies your palette.  

X3 pricing info hasn't been released yet. Supposed to be released 10:00 AM tomorrow.

Doesn't really matter. Right now if you buy X2 on sale and the upgrade to X3 it will be the same as if you wait and upgrade to X3. I would wait if I were you.

Thanks everyone for the good advice.

Hmmm...can we read between the lines and conclude that the upgrade form X2 producer to X3 producer will only be $99 not $149? Or am I misunderstanding Andrew when he says the cost will be the same for the OP.
