This a poor move by Toontrack and stinks of a money grab and literally nothing else.

There should always be an upgrade path between versions. I own all Steinberg products from Nuendo down. If they tried something like this I’d sell it all migrate to another providers eco system. Whoever made this decision seems to have a lack of understanding how users feel about being strong armed into an upgrade before they are ready solely because the company concerned, ‘Toontrack’, is ripping the carpet out from under them. Disgraceful!!

I prfer it when devs don’t hype anything and just deliver a finished product. It’s still a month away from launch and hope that they offer a grace period to those that bought SD2 recentl;y.

I also added BFD3 to my toolset and what a massive disappointment its been stability wise and issues using older libraries. Updating to SD3 will be a no brainer for me. Years of stability and an already great gui and toolset 🙂

Just read this on http://www.weiss.ch/products/saracon

It would appear SD3 is in production!!
