Do you have an ETA yet for the upgrade offer? I see some pretty serious bug reports in other posts; are you postponing the offer for the next update?

@TLMuse The upgrade offer was sent out already. To receive our MAGIX offers please sign up for our newsletter here. If you did that and you didn't get an offer please go through this form and contact our customer service.

Best regards,

@TLMuse The upgrade offer was sent out already.

Thanks. I get the newsletter already (and I've verified my user account settings for it). I've seen lots of offers for the PC version, but I've never seen a Mac version upgrade offer. I just went through my emails (including spam folder) again, and none of the Magix offer emails have SFP Mac offers. If there's perhaps a separate newsletter for Mac users, please let me know. In the meantime, I'll assume I've somehow missed it, and I'll contact customer service. -Tom

Someone already got the mail offer to upgrade?

Hi Strelo,

Please contact our customer service like I suggested to TLMuse. Our colleagues there can help you out with either an offer or other product information. 😉

Strelo, FYI, Magix support responded by pointing out to me the (hard to find!) web page with upgrade info: http://www.magix.com/index.php?id=24154&L=52#productMenu. As of today, the normal upgrade price is $300, but there is currently a 50% discount in effect ("for a short time!").

Hello

Just a quick update. Purchased the update, very pleased. There are some very nice stability improvements and speed improvements. Well done.

KS

Please, what improvements do you see? The Magix "What's New" blurb mainly talks about Izotope features. It looks like there are new features for clipping detection and loudness leveling, but I'm more curious about the stability and speed improvements you mention. Any details would be appreciated.

Sadly upon further use of V3 i can not recommend the upgrade as wholeheartedly as before. The app's GUI functions better but the crash prone behaviour puts SF3 as unchanged from V2.

The value of the speed improvement; loading plugins, starting the app and saving does not compensate for the fact that SF still crashes continually. For me this was not a $149 upgrade. Others may have different results.

KS

I have changed the speed at which i operate SF (slowing down) and am finding that the program functions admirably. Enjoying the efforts.

How do you 'slow it down' exactly? What settings? Or did you slow down the speed at which you personally operate the tool?

Hi

I just work slower, giving the app time to 'think'. That being said, it still crashes often, often while saving SF files. Which slows thing down.

I am so, so, SO disappointed to still be reading reports of instability and crashes years later. I had stopped using the earlier version simply because it was too unpredictable and buggy to trust. When I heard that Magix had taken over development, I assumed that, by version 3, these would all have been resolved. Apparently not.

I honestly don't understand how this can be priced at $300 if it's still unstable.

I was just about to buy through the upgrade path (which is only good for another 3 days) when I read through this thread.

Can someone from Magix please weigh in on this and confirm whether these bugs indeed still exist? And that "slowing down" isn't an actual solution? Thanks.
