Will we switch to subscription method in the future? (monthly or annually) pro tools use it , there are even rumors that logic will subscribe in the future. I don’t know, but it’s very exciting to wonder what Steinberg thought about it.

Never, ever I hope. [image] Steinberg - Subscription Steinberg Lounge Hello all, I am going to leave you with a statement from our Marketing Director about this subject: Dear customers, we conducted a survey a couple of months ago in which we asked if subscription might…
