I read in another post that Cakewalk will update Home Studio as needed.  I see the monthly announcements about Sonar updates but have not seen any posts regarding Home Studio updates.  Have there been any updates since the initial release?

Thanks for the answer.
 
Will there be an announcement on the forum and email when the update is released?  Also, at some point in the future will Home Studio have it's own spot on the forum?

There will be a big formal announcement so people will know.
 
Since Home Studio is built off the core application of SONAR now and not a separate branch like Music Creator was, not likely. We don't want to fragment our user base too much. Though we're open to it if there's a compelling reason to.

yes, I believe you would want to keep Home Studio in the Sonar forum, there is much more traffic here than there would be in a HS section.

Also, Tech+Music magazine will cover SHS developments. It's more of a "Cakewalk+other cool stuff" magazine than a SONAR magazine.

Thanks to all of you for your answers. They are very helpful.
 
The thinking behind the question of Home Studio having its own forum spot was (1) while based on the Sonar engine, Home Studio is available as a standalone product, distinct and separate from the other Sonar versions and (2) Home Studio does not receive monthly fixes like the other versions of Sonar.
 
One of my worries is Home Studio will languish and become too much out of sync with the other Sonar versions over time.  However, the answers reduced my anxiety level.
 
Once again, thanks to everyone for your answers.

The thing  is, for me, it is rock solid and even though I have Splat Lifetime I bought HS not ever caring if they ever update it at all. It works perfectly the way it is for me and that's what I'm counting on,, stability. SPlat and it's never ending updates makes me nervous. For $50 one does not expect rolling updates. If it has any bugs I've yet to find them.   
It would be fine by me if they only updated it every year.
Or even return to the old ways and each year offer an upgrade at a price.  
 
If anything there are a few core features that are missing like the event list and a few dialog boxes are only half the options you get with Splat no big deal, but I certainly don't expect them to add pro channels or Melodyne. 
 I'm not sure what you would be expecting to change over time. Who knows what the plan is. It's not a money maker for them but is a better introduction to Sonar than LE.
