Now may be the time. I forced myself to go back to upgrading every other level like I had been since I bought Cakewalk 1, but now they have a nice offer for those of us that held out.
Cakewalk is running a special one-time promotion from August 16th through August 30th. Buy SONAR 4 Producer Edition, and get a free upgrade to the next version of SONAR Producer.

We can't say much about the new version of SONAR Producer except that it will be coming out later this year, and it is going to be a huge upgrade. While you wait for the announcement, get acquainted with the new workflow in SONAR 4 Producer Edition. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain. You do not need to fill out any redemption forms either. We have a record of your purchase and will send you the upgrade once it is in stock. You also get free shipping* during this special promotion.

All I need to be happy is one more VSTi.

Does this apply to uk/europe customers

Sounds like quite the special... I hear that the latest 4.03 update is really smooth... I'm looking forward to seeing what Ron et al. are cooking up for V5.

Post

That's nice of them. Too bad I didn't hold out to upgrade.

BTW 4.03 is indeed a really stable update, but there is a problem with using punch-ins and the panning laws, and the panning laws not being remembered. They promised to fix it in Sonar 5 but if it's a huge problem stick to 4.02.
I'm sorry this post wasn't about techno.

Panning lawws *are* remembered - they're pre project and the user who raised this thought they were global.

Version 5 coming soon? Sweet! I hope it has side mounted missle launchers. That's always been my dream. I'm having no problems with 4.03 thus far, but it could stand to be just a little bit more deadly.

It´s not the 1st time I´ve seen Cakewalk do this, and for this reason, it will not be the 1st time I pass up on Cakewalk´s stuff.

I´ve been interested in Sonar and Project 5 before, I´m still kinda interested, but they seem to treat European customers badly, so I won´t buy anthing from them until this changes.

Well, there is a topic with regards to this over on Cakewalk's Sonar forum and one of the Cakewalk staff has responded about the whole matter (http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=567047). The crux of it is that they say they cannot offer stuff like this to customers outside the US & Canada because the distribution is not handled by them. They have assured us non-US & Canada residents that there is something in the works regarding the disparity between what the North Americans get and what everyone else gets and that we will all be very happy with what results from this...

So we wait with baited breath...although I own S4PE and P5v2 already, so this offer isn't of any interest to me anyway...but hopefully it will see everyone being given equal treatment in the future.

I didnt know that about European customers. That's too bad. Hopefully they will remedy the situation.

Yep, I know about that, but I still haven´t seen them do anything.

The response from the Cakewalk staff member(on the linked post) only occurred a day or so ago...I wouldn't expect to see anything change until S5 is released, at the very earliest. It wouldn't surprise me if it is 2006 before any change happens (if it happens).

Post

They made a similar offer about six months after S4 was released, that S2 and earlier users could upgrade for the same price as S3 users.

I bought :) and I'm happy. But between S4 and P5V2 I'm not sure I will have a reason to justify S5. Wonder what S6 will feature? :D

I can't find this anywhere on Cakewalks website. Is this a special offer only for existing customers?

Thanks
