"I love Sonar 3 Studio Edition…there so much good stuff about it I don't know enough words in the English language to describe it so I'll say it like this… IT ROCKS!"

"I just got SONAR a month ago... It rocks. It sounds better and the features that come with it are absolutely priceless. Plus, I can say that my recordings have been coming out with better quality...GET IT!"

"Overall I think it's fantastic! Truly impressive."

"I am very impressed with the features of Sonar 3...I don't think you would be disappointed with it. With all of the changes in this version, it seems like this is more than just a version upgrade...maybe they should have called it version 5 or 6."
 
He said 79 bucks in the beginning. You're slippin, dude!!!:)

Pfff. She swore "For better or for worse."

I have $200 in my bank account and I have to buy christmas presents, still. But I have to upgrade.

C'mon. Tell your wife you just saved $100!
 
Wait... This is studio and not producer. Daaaaamn.

I got my hopes up, too. :(
 
I think it's $20 off the normal upgrade price. Still, not too bad.
 
Damn, I just ordered my upgrade last week, got it a few days ago.

Oh well, considering how I got to SONAR 3 from n-track it still isn't so bad. I bought an M-Audio Omni Studio that included PA9, I paid $99 to upgrade to SONAR 2.2, then another $99 to get to 3.0.
 
I also jumped to the conclusison that I was saving $120 -- it was the phrase "comes with the Lexicon Pantheon LE reverb which is exclusive to SONAR 3" that made me do that, plus the early-morning, pre-coffee hour when I read the email.

Alas, my better sense has prevailed and I'm going to continue holding off until I actually have an income again before I make such a "frivolous" purchase... first time I've missed an upgrade to my recording app since I finally got a reasonable computer in 1997 and went from Cakewalk 6 to Cakewalk Pro Audio 9...

Consider it's a computer, it's now un-reasonable anyway Chuck :D

Upgrade to Sonar 3 PE from Sonar 2.2XL = ~$180
Cost to buy good new PC recomended for running Sonar 3 PE = $1800

:p :D :p
 
Oh, my PC will handle it fine, James, I had that upgrade forced on me over the summer...
 
To be honest guys I don't think the producer version is worth it.... I've tested out the Full Pantheon reverb (not LE) and I am not blown away... I don't need vsampler because i have livesynth pro and dr008 so that only leaves the samples cds (no use for them by me) and the sonitus plugins by ultrafunk... I can live without them especially since I have the timeworks plugins...

The only thing is that I realize that 79 bucks is misleading - - no free shipping so its really about 90 bucks so you only save 10...
 
Isn't that included in the studio version... and if not what are these?
 
Thanks for the links James... btw just curious are you really from Indonesia? . . . or do you put that down for kicks? Don't get me wrong it cool if its true... but your command of English is so good I'm stunned.... Anyway happy holidays
