Well, they're onto something with big upgrades every 6 mos., and getting $99 for each upgrade. They're getting money from me, that's for sure. ;-)

>from the feature comparison it looks like I >can't automate FX in the "studio" version?

You can automate FX in the Studio Version, but you will not have Assignable FX Controls on the mixer/channel strip. In Studio the effects are automated the same was as 2.0, either via envelopes or from the effect interface.

From an algorythmic standpoint it's the same EQ, but it has been updated to support DX 8 automation. It also shows up directly on the mixing console and Track Inspecter as either an EQ Plot, single band, or multiband.

The versions shipping with SONAR 3 Producer Edition have been updated to support DirectX 8 automation. There are also some minor bug fixes.

> What's the upgrade policy going to be?

You'll need to contact sales@cakewalk.com, I'm not sure how we are accomodating ultrafunk customers who don't own other CW products.

Yes, I was too!

I just got an email from Cakewalk and in the faqs section they're saying to stay tuned cuz there will be a competitive upgrade.

Sonar 3 is shipping on Monday, earlier than announced. I don't know why but my gut is more excited about this than ever before. I can't wait!

Not sure what SX is K? If it's Logic, that's what I was thinking. The one thing I missed about Logic was the look of the mixer.
