You know what just struck me? It is already late September, and I haven't noticed anything, not even speculation, about the typical annual SONAR paid upgrade that is, typically, announced right about now. If I remember correctly, last year about this time we'd been swimming in the "new feature a day" stuff for awhile, and, in fact, I just checked and noticed it is exactly one year since I plunked down my credit card to order the SONAR 8.5 update. I'm thinking it was immediate availability for the download, too. I even just tried searching around the net a bit, and looking directly in the Cakewalk forums, to see if maybe we might just be missing out on the rumors in our little hole in the sand, but there was really nothing. In fact, the one forum post I found that seemed relevant indicated neither Cakewalk nor Roland were listed in this Fall's AES exhibitor list (and I just confirmed that is true). Not that I was in a hurry or anything. SONAR 8.5 is doing just fine at the moment. I do tend to get excited to see what new toys might be coming my way, though. Maybe in time for a Christmas present? I guess more likely might be timed for Winter NAMM, or maybe the release in time for Christmas and a first update by NAMM. Or whenever...

They decided to let a version that is finally stable after a year's worth of updates remain the current version for a little while longer before releasing the next gen extremely buggy version that will supercede it and need a year's worth of updates to also become finally stable. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms
