X1B is ground zero.

Here is my opinion about X1b:
 
X1b is where SONAR X1 should have been on December 8th.  Good start.
 
Now, bring on the patches and the updates.  I'm thinking X1c, X1d and possibly X1e.
 
No anger here, just what I would call a reasonable expectation of quality in a finished product.

i looked for a "like" button to click under your post :)

lavoll,how'd you make out with the patch..i know you were saying you had alot of problems

Sonar x1.3 maybe, so new users don't have to patch (at least) twice.

Isn't that how v8 went, .3 and then 8.5 as an upgrade?

After my snake dance, I think you might be right Dave. I'm not pushing my luck any more today though. Well not until another X1 user comes over later this evening for a tutor lesson.

X1B is ground zero.

 
At first I thought.....
 
Then I realized......

I couldn't agree with you more, Dave.

Hopefully as patches come down to us, they'll get rid of some of the 'dumbing down' approach.

In reply to the OP

Dave you are spot on. Fantastic post. Thats exactly what I have been thinking these last few days.
 
Cakewalk have to throw out the rulebook on this one and keep working on this new version of Sonar until the summer.
I want to upgrade but at the moment I simply dont have enough confidence to do so.
I also think that Sonar X2 should be an earlier release than normal.

If I was to buy Sonar X1 now I have to install at least two patches and from the looks of it hopefully more.Therefore I would prefer just to start afresh with no messing around with patches with Sonar X2. After all when I bought Sonar Producer 7 I have never had to install any patches just the initial application and away I went.

is it really that hard to install a patch???  and does a patch ruin the integrety of x1?..i havent even installed the patch B yet..it doesnt seem like i need to..i have it downloaded but..ill wait.its hard for you to make judgement by all you know how sonar x1 runs is by what your reading.

(that sound you hear is the train ready to cause destruction and doom for all LOL!)

Question:

-why is it two different people can say exactly the same thing (with minor wording differences) and one gets flamed and the other is dead on? This is not directed at anyone, just a general observation.

You are indeed "spot on". I don't come around much (of course can't resist after the update) but two things to add.

-3 months was WAY TOO long! I'd say even unacceptable
-Now that it's here I have absolutely no intentions of waiting for anymore patches or updates. I mean how long will THAT take? It either does the job or it doesn't.

I've been using it since day one and it's good enough for the meanderings of bits and pieces I do.

Best wishes to all.......time for some of my meanderings in X1!

+1 Dave, thats exactly what im thinking!
Bring on some more patches and fixes. X1b should have been what we paid the upgrade price for.
