Has presonus gone back to it's original business model, ie, version 8. 8.5 then 9

 

[OutrageProductions]

AFAIK maintenance releases are 8.0.x (current 8.0.3), feature releases are 8.x.x, and complete version releases are 8.x.x to 9.x.x.

Their model has never changed. Still identical to what @OutrageProductions has listed.

However - there are no guarantees on whether we get a v8.1 (Most likely) vs a v8.5 (unlikely) - here in the early going of V8.

If I were to consult my Spidey Sense - I feel like we will get a v8.1 - within the next month or so....

You're referring to the version naming I guess. Yes decisions were changed, obviously. No time-based versions, here we are with Studio Pro 8.0 ... and 8.x soon

As long as we're dotting O's (purposely miss lettered) it would not be remiss if we didn't say it was Fender doing the naming. Hey, if you're going to float or go down with the ship, you really should be hoisting your actual flag.
Its likely, Fender left it to the core software group to do that version branding.

i hope you're teasing a new version coming soon with this one!

 

[Phil james]

So if 8. x is fourth coming, will i have to pay for this version?

Well, that was the usual diplomatic statement: “x” could be anything (he even didn’t confirm .1) and “soon” could be anytime. Summary: there will be an update in a foreseeable future.

Depends on the date of your last payment. After 1 year, you can not get updates anymore. You have to renew (or subscribe)

 

[Phil james]

So they are still doing the three or four feature drops a year,?

 

[Housemus]

I think so. I haven't seen communication otherwise from Fender. At the end, it is all about the content of those 'feature drops' Maybe Fender will drop there highly anticipated 'pay per session' subscription model

If it were for the previous CEO we'd be paying per track. The new one at least is a musician.
