"Steinberg has decided to offer all Cakewalk Sonar Platinum and Professional customers a dedicated 50% off welcome offer on Cubase Pro. 

The crossgrade is available for a limited time at participating retailers worldwide. In Europe the crossgrade is already available today in the Steinberg Online Shop. European retailers will offer the crossgrade from Friday on. Due to Thanksgiving the crossgrade will be available in the US next week at Sweetwater and many other retailers.

Cubase I think will be better for me than S1.  I wonder if this Cubase offer is 50% off the normal crossgrade ($325) or 50% off the normal price ($545)

that's pretty good news. I'll certainly look at that, as cubase is one of few DAWs I'm looking at. I'm not really sure that I need to move now, but a good crossgrade might motivate me enough.

It seems to be the same "Competitive Crossgrade" which was available for Sonar Platinum/Professional users before that announcement. No special crossgrade offer for Sonar users.

Hi, i am genuinely interested but where do i find details? Cubase would be my pref for future as vst support is important to me and i used Cubase way back when.

Thanks

Does anyone know if you can pick up a e-licenser at Guitar Center?  I'm going to get the crossgrade, but I'd rather not wait on Amazon to get the licenser.  I can be up and running tomorrow if I can get the dongle at GC.

Can't see it in their online shop. There is no special option for Cakewalk that I can see. For me, it seems to be a toss between Cubase and Studio One. Not being able to find a trial for Cubase doesn't help.

I don't know whether GC has it, but I would imagine yes.

The eLicenser opens up possibilities to get / star using some other nifty plugin effects from other vendors.
