How is it possible that they always release new versions with so many dam bugs? Just a glitch is acceptable, but it has happened that the recent Sonar 5 has 3 updates in less than 4 months old, all of which are just fixing bugs!!<br> And many others are just selling and pushing us to new versions that force us to re purchase plugins, hardware, change OS, its Dumb! Believe it or not, when Digidesign’s Pro Tools LE 5 came… it was just as good as it gets, the versions after this one have just about the same things, maybe the graphics are “better” but I have gone up down and under looking for real improvements and extreme changes, and all I see is the same old LE 5…with less latency and a little better DSP management… how about updates that really are significant enough? Why is it that the new LE 7 has to make our plugins obsolete? Have you seen the Digi list? It sucks!! I won’t buy in to marketing! NO WAY… we need to have the industry listen to our needs, we don’t need next week updates and upgrades, when we purchase we need it to be great and to be an investment that lasts…I say they need to put more realistic effort in their Research and development, and cut down the buzz.
