But I haven't had major issues with Pace. Cycling's tech support is great (even if I don't say I'm with the press) and can be really helpful resolving issues. Anything but a dongle, that's what I say. Anyway, the only copy protection scheme I actually like is serial # . . . and you can bet I'll point that out if that's the only scheme. (Cakewalk, for instance, serial only . . . Ableton has authorizations, but it's still fairly easy to handle and works well.)

For a lot (maybe the majority) of users, Pace is the unmentioned elephant in the middle of the room in computer music reviews. Not to single out CDM, but I really wish that reporters and reviewers would let us know that a product is Pace before we read about it - it's a factor in purchasing decisions on par with OS-compatability for many of us!

I feel for them in their battle against pirates, but that PACE/Interlok stuff is so invasive I ain't touching anything that uses it. Cycling 74, please go back to your old authorization scheme, and you'll get more of my money!

I was just looking at the Cycling '74 site the other day, wondering when this would finally be released. $199 is a bit more than I was hoping, although it's still a pretty awesome deal -- just not quite as awesome as Pluggo :grin Whoa, sweet… I was just looking at the Cycling ‘74 site the other day, wondering when this would finally be released. $199 is a bit more than I was hoping, although it’s still a pretty awesome deal — just not quite as awesome as Pluggo :grin
