If that's the case, then I hope updates, finally, start happenin again, because yo! they haven't for quite awhile...not talkin about upgrades people, updates...I mean hey, I get my Nero updated at least once a month, my McAfee sometimes twice a week, my emagic AW2, forget about it, as with SF6, Acid 4, NR2, batchconv5, CDA5 and vegas video 3...hey, my take is noone gives a shit and hasn't in MONTHS, but CERTAINLY, in this newsgroup, I've been told to literally f/off and watch out the door don't hit ya in the ass on your way out, etc..Sony's a good company ain't it..? their website's a miasma; they make good prods...I ain't gonna up and get a Honda or fuckin Toyota tho, now THAT'S unamerican AND ambiguous...give me more updates and I would be happy, but no, and not only that, hell no...what am I gonna think..? gotta be better...do I have any probs with SF6, NR2, BC5, CDA5, VV3 and A4..? I'm current...what am I sayin..? the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement, and it's like I say, with my products, it's been months and now Sony..damn this stuff all to hell in a wheel barrow...just buy me some Krylon fixative, spray all my spirals off and to HELL with all this music software SHIT...1 step forward, 2 steps back and we are STILL in the dark ages...

Maybe the Sony thing has given SF a bit of breathing space financially, and some backing to boost support, marketing, development, etc.

Unless there is a complelling fault in a product there would seem no point in updating for the sake of it, and regular updates should appear in due course. That being said, there must be one due for CDA soon, if nothing else for the 'progress meter updating' weakness.

Your analogies to McAfee etc are fundamentlly flawed, and wrt the Nero analogy, any drive that is MMC-compatible needs no direct support updates in SF apps.

Wait a minute, when I was still solely dealing with Cakewalk, weren't they still having updates to Pro Audio 9 while I jumped to Sonar 1..? they could walk and chew gum at the same time...! now we're spost to suspect the Sony takeover as the reason why we FURTHER don't receive any updates..? this is another instance of upper echelon corporate mismanagement, and tho not fraudulent, appears a big push for boosting supply was done, misreading demand (hey, I usually buy one product at a time), and then laying off workers...or merging...you know what.? there is a very disturbing pattern developing here...maybe 9/11 wasn't just a disaster, is was a klaxon call for corporate leaders to get up off their fuckin asses, assess the damn situation, take care of their workers into retirement...I quit...who's the fat rats..? the consumers? the shareholders? the layed off "loyal" workers, and who is it that wants me to start buying stock again..? assholes...

Stusy - I sincerely hope you are joking about the whole update thing.

Updates are for BUGFIXES ... not feature enhancements. If you aren't experiencing bugs then why do you need to update? From what I have read you aren't experiencing any bugs.

The rare time that an update does include a feature enhancement it is usually because the feature omission was considered a bug.

I have not had any problems with any of the new SF software, except DVDA and they have had three updates to that ... one this week.

hey stusy, exactly how many updates do you require per week/month ? Do you want them with real bugfixes, or just for the sake of it, or are you on some download MB bonus scheme ?

Let's have updates just for the sake of it then...hey, it's a smoking gun as far as I'm concerned, and a sign of questionable corporate governance...I've never really had a problem with the company, it's employees or the products...it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know to throw a few crumbs to the dogs every now and then to keep interest peaked, perhaps instead of throwing a screen with a tatoo of "Mother" on somebody's arm...hell, give me $10K a month for awhile, and I'll see what I can do to make it better...
