I'm getting a 15-20% performance increase with the multiprocessor option enabled, so HELL YES it's worth it to me.

The other features are just a bonus to me. And there are quite a few of them....

i think I'm gonna wait for the next version update that Cakewalk is bringing to Project 5 v2 to see if it offers anything that Sonar has just received. I'm in no big rush to update since it's going to be another version like clock-work this time next year. SO...if Project5 doesn't meet up to Live 6 standards....I'll upgrade then. :)

Ahah :?

Instead of jumping in and grabbing 6, should of read the part "free for users after purchase after and before a specific date. Well I purchased mine back in may, which explains why that option is not on offer for me!

as it happens anyway, 99 eur works out about 66-67 uk pounds?...not so bad.

I tried the demo and love it. Love the new layout of the racks & devices. The new mastering & helper racks, tell me, they any good for enhancing?, obviously not your next waves....but at least some support in that area now innit :P
