I am more against than for a subscription model. That being said, if we were to be assured that Cake's model would really be a SUBSCRIPTION model rather than a RENTAL model... Than I cannot foresee any trouble with that I guess. I am still to be convinced, though...

Me, I'm not afraid of a subscription model that I might have been a few years back.  I've had several misconceptions and read tons of negative opinions about enough things to know that until I see it and experience it, I shouldn't narrow my option down.
 
What if it was a monthly option, that would allow you to buy in for a month, try something out and then change your mind and abandon it for something that fits you better?

Although I thought the survey could have been split up into a couple of smaller surveys, I was excited to fill it out. I think this is somehow still an old-school way of delving into what people want, but it's fine with me at the moment. I really feel the same way about features in X3 as I did in X2. So, I hope that many others with echo what I submitted. Thanks, CW for putting that together, and please read them all. After all, we spent more time filling them out than it would take to read and file away.

If Cake provided a subscription model and also a one time payment option that would get a SONAR version just as we can today and use it unlimitedly, the subscription model would be fantastic for demoing any new version of SONAR that happens to be available for subscription!
 
And good post brconflict!

I would assume that no matter what Cakewalk does, they'll continue to offer trial versions.

There are three kinds of lies.
Lies, damned lies and statistics.

Statistics aren't lies, they just can be used to support lies and/or damned lies.

It was a quote and intended to be mildly amusing.

I know. I was just having a bit of fun. I was bored, sorry. :)

Speaking of limited samples, I'm on a quest to keep all songs to 00:00:00.01 in length. It makes it easier to produce a brick **** house full of them in rapid fire sucession.
 

I wonder, will a subscription mode support that?

It's now Monday morning here in UK. I have locked myself in the garage. Please let me know when it is safe to come out. Aliens don't like baked beans so I have plenty of cans...

I was filling out that survey a few days ago, and as soon as it asked about "subscription services", I hit the 'back' button and wrote in my thoughts. I wasn't sure if there would be another space to write in my thoughts on the subsequent pages, so I made sure I could write it in on the previous page. I told them that I would be very unhappy if Sonar changed to a subscription-only service. If they want to give people that option, that's fine. I really would not want to be forced into a subscription plan for something I previously purchased.
