Subject:Worth Buying Acid 4.0? Posted by: buckaroo Date:5/16/2003 4:50:28 AM Is it worth me buying Acid 4.0? I have been using a demo version and am contemplating buying the full software, a couple of things though : 1. Do i then have to pay again for updates? ie: 4.0b > 4.0c or even 4.0 > 5.0? 2. Where is the cheapest i can buy it from (UK pounds)? i have seen it for 225.. Just been putting it off due to all the issues that seem to crop up on here!! :-S

You don't have to pay when moving 4.0a to 4.0b, c, or whatever. You WILL have to pay when moving to 5.0, although with the Sony buyout, I suppose that may or may not change. 2. Where is the cheapest i can buy it from (UK pounds)? i have seen it for 225.. SoFo is offering a special now through the end of May, so you may want to contact them... Just been putting it off due to all the issues that seem to crop up on here!! :-S 4.0, from what I gather (I still use Music 3.0 & Pro 2.0), is indeed getting some of the bugs worked out of it. I'm debating upgrading before the end of the month, as well. Unless, of course, these hush-hush reWire rumors prove to be true. Then I'll stop debating & buy immediately!
