You mean a cure for cancer and support for fermata playback – and the pro version comes with a solution to world peace?
Personally, I am not looking for excitement in any software I use – quite the opposite. What excites me is the opportunity to save a little time or to produce a better quality result. In that respect, I think this is a very strong release. I have listed features that I will definitely use: Dorico 5 update - thoughts - #149 by cparmerlee
There are at least 5 features on that list that I would have paid $100 for, simply on the basis of the time savings. But don’t tell Steinberg I would have paid more.
At the end of the day, we’re talking about $100 spread over perhaps 18 months. I know everybody may have a different financial situation, but I bet many people here spend more for coffee in a month than they will spend on Dorico in 18 months.
