There's a sale at Cakewalk for 30% off some of their software such Dimension Pro, Rapture, Zeta+ 2, etc. I've been eyeing Dimension Pro there, but I'm unsure if that's something I should invest in. I want to invest in getting Komplete 8 someday when I get enough money, but for the time being I wouldn't mind getting something cheaper that has enough sounds for me to create music.
I have Sonar Home Studio 6XL and it comes with Dimension LE which doesn't have as many sounds and options as the Pro version. I wouldn't mind getting the pro version for $37 because it would be the upgrade price plus the 30% discount. What I want to have are more drum samples, hiphop drum samples, and more samples in general, but will the Dimension Pro satisfy that or is there some other avenue I should take?

it comes with an 8 gb sound bank of proper sound content, all top class. some of the presets have been used in major motion pictures such as star wars and such. For this money you be daft not to |

It seems like a great deal. I'm just wondering if I should save that $37 for Komplete 8 someday or if I could get by with Dim Pro for a while and wait a little for Komplete (Unless I get more money soon). |

Komplete has so much more going on in there than DimPro. I'd save up.  Last edited by EvilDragon on Mon May 28, 2012 1:44 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Thanks for your thoughts. It seems like a great deal. I'm just wondering if I should save that $37 for Komplete 8 someday or if I could get by with Dim Pro for a while and wait a little for Komplete (Unless I get more money soon). oops disregard this, I messed up haha. I was going to say thanks for your thoughts in my reply above. |

I'm sure it does, it's just I don't think I have the money for it right now and may not for a while. I wonder if Dim Pro will get me by for a while along with other synths that came with my HS6XL and free synths. |

Well, in that case, go on. But when you get Komplete, Kontakt, Massive, FM8, Absynth, Reaktor... those things will easily overshadow DimPro... |

Dimension is good, but by trying to satisfy many tastes it positions itself as a "middle of the road" pop-rock rompler. If you are after specific building tools for hiphop, drum loops, I would look elsewhere. The hip hop expansion pack will work with Dimension LE: http://www.store.cakewalk.com/b2ceuro/ProductInfo.aspx?produ ctid=10-DSHH1.00-20E Last edited by Numanoid on Mon May 28, 2012 1:57 pm; edited 1 time in total |
