Is the newest software worth it?
« on: February 05, 2016, 10:00:56 am »
So i haven't kept my ear to the ground about the latest tech that comes out for a while now. All of my plug ins are either free or a little bit dated, just wondering what have i missed, what does software that has been released recently do better than older software, is getting the latest plug ins and software worth it, and if so what are some of the best new plug ins that people are raving about at the moment?

Thanks :)

I'd only upgrade my software if there's a must have feature, or to utilize more processing power.

Other wise it's kind of a wash. These programs are going to have a hard time building on them selves outside of running more efficiently.

That's with any technology though.

I'd say it's worth it to upgrade every now and again if you have the funds, but meh.

I'm pretty much with this. I think you'd have to be an insanely gifted producer for your biggest bottleneck to be the limitations of your software, rather than your skills/knowledge.
