Bakers where are you? Hope everything is ok?

Not even a hello or hi.......

Noel was on a thread just yesterday. That tells me there's a release just around the corner.

Swallow sadness and cry deeply...like a BAWSS!

Hey, everything is great. We are just busy at work. We definitely aren't in a basement.

@Beepster - I wouldn't wait for anything - install X2a.

Hi, Bob. I'm just not really doing much recording right now but am about to do some general cleanup/maintenance on the system. Knowing my luck I'd install the a patch then b will get released. lol Just trying to save some time if possible. Cheers.

If the past is any indication you'll need to install X2a before X2b anyways.

True enough. I probably won't get an answer anyway but figured it was worth a shot. ;-)

the view from state street is rather nice.bacements are so ols school
 wait my studio is in the bacement. dam
 you know its like wine

I just got a message a few days ago about a problem I reported a few months ago. Then a day later a note that they are unable to reproduce. Sigh. I replied telling them I was not surprised as my recipe involved lots of small clips and slip edits over as many as 6-8 take lanes and lots of time starting and stopping playback while editing takes and soloing using the mute solo tool. oh well I just built a new computer perhaps I will not see the problem anymore.

I just received confirmation yesterday of a CWBRN bug report I submitted a while ago as 'Fixed'.  So I guess they're still busy polishing things, which is good.  Let's be patient, I'm sure something will be along.  Meanwhile, it's still a great DAW and I love using it every day.

Beepster - I still think I would go ahead and install X2a now - it is really quite stable for many, many folks.

And, as long as you save off any user content you created prior to uninstall of X2a to go back to X2, it's really no big deal to clean out the registry and folder remnants from X2a and install a nice new copy.  Less than an hour.

The benefits of X2a would be in the large number of fixes and enhancements they made.  It's really nice.

AND I PROMISE, if you want to undo an X2a install to go back to X2, I will give you y cell number and have you call me whenever you want and I will work through the whole process for you over the phone - no problem.

This post is very late but thanks for the offer, Bob. You are a kind and generous soul. I should be alright now that I have the back up drive. I've got more than enough room for multiple full images so I can return to any state I choose. Not having that capability was really tying my hands but real life beckoned so the money could not be spared. Now that I know more about how everything works I intend to do a complete wipe of the system and reinstall everything (after backing up everything I want to keep and making an image of things as they are). I kind of made a mess of things by not paying attention to where audio was being sent when I'd do "Save As". I'd always create a new folder on my E drive when starting a project but didn't realize that it would default back to the C drive during Save As so now I've got things willy nilly all over the place as well as tons of empty and "test" folders. 

One thing I gotta figure out though is how to set up the ideal default save settings. I know how to actually do it but I'm not sure of the most effective set up. I was under the impression that the best way was to to have the project data saved to the C programs drive and then have the audio saved to a seperate drive (in my case E drive). However I've seen more than a few smart fellows here says that BOTH the project data and the audio data should be saved to the E drive leaving the C drive to only run the actual program. Not sure if this is correct but I'm gonna research it more.

I also have another issue where my darned E drive keeps falling asleep on me despite the fact I THOUGHT I had set Windows up to not do that (nothing else falls asleep on my system except the E drive). Just little things like that. It's good for me to mess with too because I need to learn but without a proper back up option I was terrified to mess with anything lest I break something.

Whatevs... totally off topic but I'm taking a break from some theory studies and thought I'd say thanks for the offer and blather on for a little while. ;-p

Yeah... I've received a number of confirmations and the likes (submitted to development) in the last week...

Same here ... and for 2 major bugs for me (and many people around I guess)... I'd be soooo happy if they could fix those in X2b, 

Otherwise, I upgraded to X2 producer a few weeks ago ... what an amazing piece of software ... Thanks Cake ! 

And I find funny that people get worried when Cake staff do not come around.. Even though it's friday PM, they're probably not having a beer and have bug reports piling up right now. 

Cheers!
