Just about every other company has a basic version, or free version, that runs 3rd party plugins just fine, and limits the features/functionality in some other way. That is, until the crazy recent $125 crossgrade to Pro for Sonar users! I really have to wonder what PreSonus is thinking by crippling all of their DAWs except for Pro in this way.
Nice Find Larry, you're the man!!! One problem, however, I can't use my Third party VST's unless I buy the VST and AU and Rewire Support package for $79.00, or get the Pro version of Studio One 3 Jesse G Not bad at all for $49.00, not bad at all.
