mike_mccue bump for Freddie H. I don't know what it means but it must be important. Or at least it matters (unlike Bapu's post count, bless his heart).

Freddie H But I do understand the big frustration from some users. Like some frustrated members said; "SONAR X1 ain't professional! It really SUCKS BIG TIME!!! and it has not "PRO" in the brand-name either! I still haven't used it because I can't find any cracked version on Piratebay but it still sucks anyway!!!" Sadly that is not the case now They work fast on these new releases

I'll give you a review from someone who has used X1 Producer extensively. Personally I don't see what they have done to upgrade 8.5, other then change the color scheme to a very disorienting pattern, change around all the controls, make all the buttons and functions clunky and over bearing, and thoroughly piss me off. From what I can tell it doesn't run any more stable, nor does it make my life any easier, let alone be different enough in a good way as to make the changes to the GUI worth tolerating. My workflow has actually decreased significantly since the upgrade. For example, Cakewalk 8.5's tracks and busses had a readable, coherent track output drop down tab, and now in X1, the drop down menus have some weird unreadable random set of numbers and letters. It's unidentifiable, and makes no sense whatsoever. Also every 10-20 seconds X1 loses connection with my audio interface. Unacceptable. All cakewalk will ever do is blame your hardware or audio drivers. I own a $2,200 audio interface. It integrates perfectly with every other DAW. This doesn't fall into the category of empty insults. Cakewalk needs to put more effort into making a more stable Bit Bridge, driver control, compatibility with different hardware, and a more accessible GUI that doesn't look like a damn spaceship. You were fine with 8.5's GUI, which I'm sad to say I'm going back to despite the ancient Visual Basic modules it installs that cause hangups on my computer. Get your stuff together Cakewalk!

you think x1's code was generated overnight by the code fairies? it uses 8.5 code + then some, no doubt... so how can you say that (you think every DAW maker re-writes from scratch when updating ?) you have posted 14 times and you have issues with sonar and a $2,200 interface which is nameless or do we all have to guess ? Because of the low post count / vagueness of your post... does really sadly sound like your trolling it up or well other factors.. if you were that "miffed" you'd have posted far more / been far more vocal.. you spoke to tech support? I mean when you registered, thats part of what you pay for.. when I had issue with a certain sound card, when I originally signed up.. I stated the model etc.. and your not even doing that ;-)

hey..you got to admit.. " every 10-20 seconds X1 loses connection with my magical 1,000,000 audio interface " dude this isnt normal..and if you honestly think that is a sonar problem? your sadly slighly insane. to me this sounds like it could be you skipped an update or did an update backwards. because those are the symptoms. i know your upset and just venting but if by chance you messed up an update sonar will run stupid like. this might explain your problem... you didnt install it right.

I've been using SONAR for a long time and I am frustrated too. Not about SONAR, but I can tell you about another DAW that is new and is getting my goat.

Chregg Hey, I just rolled out of bed man, let the coffee sink in. **** the coffee, snort some ritalin lol Send some over,it's been years/decades,since I bothered,due to the utterly non pharmaceutical quality,since my harley brothers have retired from the bizz,due to them"oh so smart govt. types" banning the "proper ingredients",and this poison,that starts with a name,that rymes with beth,has taken over the world. Don't get me started,on doctors. Facepalm of Sincerity Bob
