[QUOTE="Chris Tsanjoures, post: 217613, member: 3514"] What's up Matt - One of the things we wanted to accomplish with the Version 9 platform is to make it easier to get in to Smaart. There are multiple editions at multiple price points, and multiple ways to try before you buy to see if it's something that works for you or not. There are two demo's with the real time mode functionality - for Suite, and LE. Each one is 30 days, and each one resets when we release a .X update so that people can try out the new features before they update/purchase. As far as cost, the lowest cost entry is an annual subscription of LE for around $160. IDK if this applies but afaik you can write off software purchases on your taxes as a business owner per section 179 of the IRS tax code, or tools cost if you are a 1099. So, subscribing to Smaart just becomes an annual write-off, and you'll always be up-to-date. Ultimately, Smaart is a tool, like a multimeter - which is useless if you don't know how to use it. So there is an amount of time to put in to understanding your tool. If you make it part of your workflow than the time to action becomes essentially inconsequential compared to the time it saves you on the other side. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about anything at all - you can reach me directly by email at [email]chris@rationalacoustics.com[/email] if you'd like and I'll make a point to check back in here if there are any other questions I can be helpful answering.
