Just seen the David Bendeth Signature Series Compressor is available for a SPECIAL OFFER OF 99 bucks....wots all that about????????????????

It's not a Cakewalk product and has nothing to do with Sonar. There will be free stuff, but nothing of that quality.

Seriously with the juvenile !!!!!!! and ????????
You get some free content, not everything they sell or make.
Turnip truck lose a few lately?
 

To the OP. This is not an addition to SONAR. It's a product that CW is offering. Simples.

thanx ampfixer that sounds reasonable enough.......& hockeyjx no need for the attitude i was bought into the new sonar on the premise of new product being available within the subscription!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Points taken...

Ok...I'm trying to wade through the Platinum upgrade...which spoofed me prematurely into installing the 64 bit version.  So...I'm trying to migrate to 64 bit...with the accompanying duplication of plugins (VST2-32, VST3-32, VST2-64, VST3-64, DX, DXi ).
 
I used to wonder at those who had hit the limit of 255 (or whatever it was) plugins...and now my scanner says I have in excess of 300 of these bad boys.  It will be a major undertaking to properly identify all the cruft that I've accumulated that I will ultimately never use.
 
So...someone tell me why I'd want to pay more money for another channel strip?  I mean...certain things come along (like the CA2A/PC2A) that do end up being a "must have".  Can someone honestly say that this is one of them?
 
Actually...this should have been posted as a response to...

...but then I found this whole thread banished to the Software forum.
 
It'd be kinda rude to post this as a comment to Cakewalk's announcement post.  However...this thread...

...looks more appropriate.

There is absolutely no reason why you should pay more money for another channel strip.
 
But not everyone will feel the same.
 
And besides, exactly how many channel strips do you get with Platinum?
 
There are a couple of specialized ones - the VX64 & VC64, and there's also one in the Blue Tubes bundle.
 
The VC64 was discontinued a while back.
 
Is there anything else?

There was the old, reskinned Kjaerhus Golden Channel that showed up as Vintage Channel, that some of us old #@^+s still have.  I've been real happy with Voxengo's Voxformer, but that doesn't count as something included with a version of SONAR.
