Any 2nd week problem/kudos reports on Dorchester? Seems pretty quiet.

Two issues I see...
 
1) Track Template issue:

2) Boost 11 still installing to wrong path:
http://forum.cakewalk.com/Gibson-Les-Paul-Gold-Top-mess-everywhere-and-Boost-11-still-installing-to-C-drive-m3214016.aspx
 

If I am reading that correctly you have Boost11 (and all your other plugs) installed on your D drive? I thought those were better off living on the program drive (along with SOnar) seeing as how they are programs.
 
My plugs live on my C drive anyway so I'm guessing that would not even affect my install.
 
Thanks.
 

Yeah, that's cool. Wasn't questioning/diminishing your reasons. Just trying to understand the issue to wrap my head around whether it might bite me in the butt. I appreciate you pointing those things out and I will have to keep an eye out for the track template thing. It is possible I may start setting some up as my endeavours get more elaborate and I'm getting a feel for what I like. If they bork out right off the bat that would annoy me especially if I didn't know what was going on.
 
Anyway... thanks.
 
Cheers.

Nah, I was just making sure I wasn't being a d*ck. Little cranky and spaced today so I wasn't sure.
 
Cheers.
 
So no one else have anything to report either way? Really in this case silence is encouraging... or maybe I just smell bad. lulz...

If anything goes wrong I'll let you know. Spent 4 hours each of the past 5 nights with no problems, other than falling asleep while sitting up.
 
But remember, you can always roll back. There's no danger I've encountered in updating.

I'm liking these releases and the bugs they quash. In a way iit seems they have been treated as a priority over the drum replacer, I hope so. Not to knock it, it won't be of use to me, but it will be for others. I wonder if it was planned for an earlier inclusion, but they thought better.
 
I wonder if they will start to reach a point, being that Sonar is now one version, where the volume of fixes will drop away, where they will have the space to focus and release more core new features, as well as not leave Staff View on the shelf.

A problem they have when they release Drum Replacer, is have to put something else on this page.

Beep I can't report any problems with Dorchester on my system. It is a solid performer.

Ditto

All solid here as well... as per usual.
 
As far as updating the "what's next" page - personally I look forward to seeing what feature or tool replaces Drum Replacer as the next big thing.
 

It's installed now (main program... still haven't installed the extra content but it's d/l'd). Not gonna get to rip it apart today but I am indeed a "Dorkchester" now.
 
Cheers and thanks for the input, guys.

No real issues here Beep. I've been trying it out on 2 different systems and the only problems I've had are all related to Rapture Pro (exceptionally long time to load, occasionally white-screening)

Hi, Jonesey (and bz)... I'm sticking with the old versions of Dim/Rap so that's not a concern. I'm actually thinking I made the right choice now by waiting for this release based on this thread and just looking at the forum vibe. I'll probably squat on this one for a few months as well and see what comes down the pipe. The new monthly additions are nice but I've got so much now it's doubtful I'll really NEED any new stuff and I mostly just want things as stable/problem free as possible. Honestly I think X3 was a little more stable than Braintree but it had some really annoying quirks that affected my personal workflow that Platinum fixed so it was a bit of an even trade (more hangs/crashes but saved time/annoyance by the bugs being gone). If Dorchester resolves those core instability issues so I can push it harder worry free without annoying issues (like the CB bug that wasn't a big deal but I didn't want to deal with it and some of the other Cambridge compaints) then that is awesome.
 
I didn't really play with it too much yesterday but did check out the Virtual Keyboard. It confused me a little at first but once I figured it out it was extremely responsive which is a good sign for stability (especially with a new and kind of complex feature). I was just using it to trigger AD2 (which was the only synth I had loaded in my tester project) but it was automatic, snappy and just worked. No latency or weird routing.
 
One thing that seems to have really improved is related to the new FX "Rack" (as opposed to the old Bin... kind of weird they changed the name but whatever). I used to get some quirks, hangs and even hard crashes/corruptions when Ctrl/Drag copying VSTs from track to track. I have to do this often with my multitracked/layer guits and it always caused a bit of anxiety because I knew that bad stuff could happen.
 
Now things just drag and drop trouble free. It's faster (it used to be a little hesitant even when it was working now it is smooth as silk). It's obvious there is something going on under the hood with all that that is just more stable/reliable. I would still like them to allow us to simply link our VST instances so I don't have to constantly do that but the fact I don't have to hold my breath while doing it is nice.
 
And that freaking horrendous jumping bug in X3 that made it so when you clicked between tracks with lanes open it would jump to the parent track (instead of keeping focus on what you were looking at) being gone has saved me an ENORMOUS amount of time and angst. That drove me up the freaking wall. lol
 
Anyway... just blathering about my experiences so far. I actually did some REAL work recently for an actual client (which is now completed) so I've been working a lot with SPlat... just haven't been really posting about it all because all my brainspace was going into that instead of boring you guys.
 
But... I'm baaaaaaack. lulzity
 
Cheers.

Mostly working fine here though I continue to have frequent crashes on my main DAW...

Something new for me. I don't recall the last time Sonar was so crash prone for me...
