Groove Agent 5: All new features - Is it worth upgrading?

In this video, I go over & demonstrate all the new features of Groove Agent 5 in one go.

It seems the question on a lot of people's minds is "Is the upgrade worth the price?", well after some digging into all the new features, it is absolutely worth it for my own personal workflow.

In this video I will go over why & how, in my opinion, if you use all aspects of Groove Agent, the update is honestly quite worthwhile, even if at face value a lot of the changes are very specific to certain elements of the instrument & may be useless to some users.
