just noticed I could upgrade from Expanded to Production Suite now for €80, get the PC4K S-Type Expander / Gate ProChannel Module and Z3TA+2, and receive a free updgrade to X2.

Wouldn't I be an early adopter then, adopting to X2 as soon as it's available?

Instead of upgrading for €99, without the PC4K S-Type Expander / Gate ProChannel Module and without Z3TA+2, but with an early adopter special?


erm, Cakewalk?

I was on the fence with the upgrade - but now that I know the upgrade price, I will be taking the plunge.

If you get the free upgrade, you will not be eligible for the yet undisclosed early adopters promotion or the plethora of late adopters specials.

I guess since the free upgrade to X2 offer runs through to October 31st, I will see what the early adopter offers are before I need to buy.
Either way, it's a steal.

I don't have a problem with the pricing.. $99 seems fair. However, I'm from Belgium, and we work in €... And $99 isn't 99€... According to xe.com, $99 is about 79€...

Why is this?

All prices on our store are VAT inclusive. So calculate $99 plus add VAT and then convert. You will see the prices are comparable.

Can I pay for mine in $ please?
 
$99 = £63 at today's exchange rate not £79

And then add VAT do that. This topic comes up from time to time. European customers are required to pay VAT and we include the VAT price in there already.

Yes, this comes up for every round of upgrades.
 
£63 + 20% VAT = £75
 
And by British VAT regulations you're required to offer a Zero rate to VAT registered businesses on the simple production of VAT reg number on the purchase order.
 
It's not as if it's extra work,  the regulations say that on production of a VAT number by the customer you can IGNOR all the VAT processing.  You have to do nothing at all.
 
So if I include my VAT Reg Num at checkout can I have my upgrade at £63 please?

Payback for the stamp act?
Bostonians must have a long memory.

Oh good. I said $50 would be great and $100 would be reasonable. I am wondering though... I see some people mentioned getting emails about this. Should I have gotten an email? Hmm... maybe I didn't sign up for the newsletter. Thought I had. Also I'm not sure if maybe I qualify for the free upgrade considering I only bought the Suite in May for $500 (I doubt it though). Anyway I really want to check out that R-Mix thingie madoodle. Will I be able to run both X1 and X2 on the same system with the upgrade? I'm still learning X1 and have a bunch of projects on the go. Nice work Cake. You guys have gotten me worried on occasion but you always seem to come through in the end.

If X2 works like every other Cakewalk DAW product, you will be able to run X2 along side with X1.
If you have never received promotional mail from Cakewalk and want it, go to your store account and signup. If you did signup, check your spam filter.

Thanks, scook. I also found the answer to my free upgrade questions "Starting August 1 through October 31st, when you purchase SONAR X1, you will get SONAR X2 for free once it becomes available." Oh well. $99 ain't bad. Even just the R-Mix looks like it will be worth it.
