Thanks Timo. The broadband meters is a feature I'm very interested in. I'll be able to glance at SPL readings in multiple zones at once.

Great.. literally just upgraded from 6 in January after having it for 8 years.. There should have been a pre announcement.. this almost makes me want to use a different program if you don't value your customers investment.

Looks like you can get v.8 for free during the grace period http://www.rationalacoustics.com/smaart-v8-pricing/
Re: Sneak preview Smaart version 8
nope.. i bought DI.
In fact I really fought with buying multi vs DI.. but most of the time i'm using smaart its a 1 mic rig. I even pondered weather you could go from 7di to 7 (which you couldn't at the time).

That still puts you behind when V9 comes around.
I bought 6 about a month or two before 7 came out (because I needed it to take the course) and got the free upgrade to 7, but now because I didn't actually buy 7 the upgrade to 8 costs more
Oh well. if we always wait until the best time to buy something then we'll never have anything

Re: Sneak preview Smaart version 8
Jeff, there is/ was an upgrade path from 7DI to 7. I do not see it on my list but I know it was discussed. In any case, you will not lose any functionality of DI when Smaart 8 is released. I learned of the v8 release on Jan 28th. I'm an instructor and dealer. I was not aware it was being worked on yet. Was it a big secret? No. Like I said this should not affect you in any way since the software you purchased will continue to work exactly the same as before. Do you consider it devalued because of a number and logo? The measurement accuracy and number crunching under the hood are the same. You don't have a dumbed down version. Just a feature limited version.
Jason email me and I'll get you a quote for am upgrade to 8. I have no idea why you would have a higher cost to upgrade to 8 from 7 than someone else that bought the full version of 7. Who told you that?

Re: Sneak preview Smaart version 8
I assumed so because I technically bought V6
It was more just a comment that I bought V6 after 7 was announced, but before it was available because of the free upgrade to 7. so really I was pre-purchasing 7
according to the list at the link above it'll cost me $399 instead of $249 to upgrade to 8
Although if they'll treat that as if I bought V7 then that would be really cool (though they don't have to. it is what it is)

Di will be on its own development path from here. However, we WILL be updating Di and folding in some v8 features, likely within the year.
