I guess what bothers me more than anything else about it, (deleting the post) is the fact that I'm one of the lucky ones. I haven't had any serious problems with X1 other than the known bugs that have been spoken of around the forums. I had an annoyance of a groove player being in a track buss somehow that I didn't place there but worked around the problem. Not sure how a groove player can be in a track buss but on a recovery start up that what it said was in the buss. I'm still investigating that one.
I'm looking at "that other" DAW because it was a great deal, price wise, to try out and I truly love having all the tools I can afford. I love learning new software and how other programs work in the hopes to apply things I learn to all the software I use and use them as efficiently as possible and as needed to complete the tasks at hand.
I have no grudge against X1. I like it the most because it was my "First".
I enjoy working in X1 and will enjoy it even more when they get most of the annoying bugs ironed out in the next patch. I say that because I hope folks around here can see that I'm not on a Bash X1 crusade. I simply want to use all the tools that are available that I can afford. I thought that's what the software forum was for is to write about other software that will benefit all of us. I see posts of all types about many other software programs. I guess I just choose the heaviest monkey on X1's back at the moment.
