If you're going Expanded I HIGHLY recommend buying the Production Suite.
If you already have Producer then you'll get all the Expanded Features,
Zeta 2.1, the PC4K -S Type Expander'Gate, and a Free PC4K-S Type Compressor for $100
AND YOU GET X2 FREE!!!

This does sound like the best deal for current Producer owners, but where are you seeing that the PC4k S-type Comp is included in the Production Suite?  I see the Expander/Gate, but not the Comp, unless I've missed something.  Anyway, thanks for the heads-up!

I just purchased the Production Suite, and it came with  a FREE PC4K Compressor...


It doesn't say that...but I got when...can't guarantee that you will...but....I got it..and didn't need it..

I bought the Production Suite today and I also got the free
PC4K Channel Compressor.

Just need to work out how to use everything now,but after a quick
play this afternon,I'm glad I bought Production Suite.

You'll be quite happy you did..


You'll be up and ready (and will have lowered the learning curve) for X2 when it comes out!

Production Suite customers won't get a discount because X2 doesn't include Zeta 2.1, PC4K Expander Gate and the PC4K Compressor. It only includes Expanded features so the upgrade will most likely start at $49 for Expanded customers. Scott Garrigus on his DigiFreq blog mentioned that Expanded customers won't be getting much new features so for them to charge $99 to upgrade would be steep. It makes more sense for them to just charge $49 since Expanded customers already paid $49. $99 for Producer customers would be ideal and consistent with the last 2 upgrade cycles. If they do charge more, it will be harder for them to make sales because the only thing going for X2 are enhancements and a few new features. http://www.digifreq.com/d...opic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6795

Granted, but here's the thing..


Expanded is NOT considered a version...it's an EXTENSION of Producer.


If you look at the Marketing....

X1 Essential
X1 Studio
X1 Producer
X1 Production Suite

Expanded is NOT a version by their own Marketing...
It is merely an EXTENSION of Producer...

Production Suite Currently IS a Version, which includes EXPANDED.

Cheers!

I was merely giving Expanded users the benefit of
the doubt...

And you can be GUARANTEED there WILL be difference in Price.

If you even read the X2 spread it states 

Buy X1 Production Suite - GET X2 Producer FREE
Buy X1 Producer -             Get X2 Producer FREE
Buy X1 Studio -                 Get X2 Studio FREE
Buy X1 Essential -             Get X2 Essential Free

No mention of Expanded...

I just don't think they'll leave Expanded Users out in the cold..
I'm sure they will get an upgrade price..if just won't be the same...

One thing for sure...

I'm pretty confident the LOWEST price will be $99

and will go up from there..

It is EVEN HIGHLY likely that Expanded may STILL be an Extension...

Hence the Marketing AND the the pricing would be accordingly...

They may just continue to use the existing Expanded base,
and just keep marketing the 3 Versions...

Which means that if you have producer...you will STILL have JUST Producer..
If you have Expanded you will STILL have Expanded
If you have Production Suite you will STILL have Production Suite

The playing field would THEN be completely level...

I really don't think they are incorporating Expanded INTO Producer...
NOTHING in the video says anything about incorporating Expanded into X2 Producer..

I'm not even sure where that notion came from...

I think X2 just BUILDS on the existing platform..

I stop framed through the video again and I see NOTHING that says Expanded is NOW
part of Producer.  Nor is there ANYTHING on the X2 Pages that would indicate this.
