Update Reality; Let the CW dudes rest for a while.

I'm rolling with it.

I'm working on a Lenny Bruce tribute routine.

Laughing is the best medicine.

The CW dudes are in sleep mode, cuz they all worked way too much the past 12 months. Give 'em the brakes.

Is this a fact? Or maybe the CW dudes having been working 9 to 5 for the last 12 months... Seriously, I don't know.
If they have been "working way too much" it's got nothing to do with the people on the forum --- but it has got everything to do with the managers at CW though.

hey, i do NOT wear speedos (anymore).

My comments are in relation to all the complaints about the SX1b update, and questions about when SX1c will be released.
 
Those guys are tired. And all the complaining just does not help. 
 
I complained a lot about SX even existing. But I quit. Sorta.

All I'll say is that I loved Sonar at one time but now it just seems amatuerish.

I am rolling with it - X1B is very usable for me and on my system - 


that being said it's their job to fix it - my boss doesnt tell me to break or relax because I am tired - 

I am not expecting anyone at cakewalk  to not spend time with their families or have weekends off.... but when they are working monday through friday regular work day -  fixing bugs should be a priority  don't you think?

Musicians are artist. Artist are passionate people. They are gonna cream their jeans when they love something and bash the crap out something when they hate it .

It's what we do

I'm sorry to say I'm feeling a bit that way too.  I wish I didn't.
 

Please ... stop saying SX. It screws with my brain.

Thanks.

Tiredness results in stupidity. And yelling at stupid people usually results in defensiveness.

So, I figger the SX odyssey has just begun. It took 5 versions of Sonar to get a trackview button. And lots of workarounds still are useful with SX (all versions).

I was hopeful, anticipating, and yearning for Sonar 9. Had beer and party favors ready in September. (Had to buy more of both, during the delayed flight period.) When SX1 landed I was ready for the new and the shiney. And then I found the shiny to only be pixel deep. And the new required learning a new language. And the deja-vu of each version's upgrade cycle was multiplied. And it nearly broke me. I sobbed for hours leaning the draw tool had been reduced to quiet yelps from the robust howl of yesteryear.

But this week I got it:::  SX1 is beta. And I get to participate in helping guide the development of Sonar as never before. For only $100, I get to test, and report on my findings. I get to learn that many others have responded similarly to the changes and the difficulties.

This is sorta what many of us have been asking for for years. For CW to stop the yearly upgrade cycle. SX1 is the beta series of the new Sonar. I figger SX2 will be close to alpha. SX3 will get to release candidate.

Dollar issues: I read about how users will spend thousands of bucs on hardware, but then complain about a few hundred for the software to run the machine. Silly at best.

Windows XP cost most people less than $100 dollars, about $10 per year now (about 3 cents per day). and it is till being updated for FREE. Yet all kinds of windows users are still complaining about how much w7 will cost.

Sonar 8.5 cost me $179 dollars: using it now for 14 months: About $13 per month, I have used it on average 10 hours per week, about 32 cents per hour. Pretty good deal.

I will bet most Sonar users spend at least 25 times as much on their transportation each month/hour than they do on their computers.
)))


Even though I will not USE SX1 for production stuff, I will play with it a bit after each release, so I can continue to contribute to its growth.
(No one should use it for production stuff until way tested.  'Tis good and reasonable business.)

I expect I will continue to use S8.5.3 until the SX series provides the tools I want. Or when SX, and other software, requires a new OS. But I am sure windows 7 will be around at least as long as windows XP.

============
Yo others:

Sonar 1 = S1
Sonar 8 = S8
Sonar X = SX
Very reasonable. But I can understand that some readers of these messages, at the CAKEWALK SONAR forums, would get confused and think about Cubase SX, which is sooo last decade.

( Cubase now comes in 3 flavors: Cubase 6, Cubase Artist 6, and (wait for it) Cubase Essential 6. Great marketing minds think about the same stuff. Must be an age thing. Remember how the XP label was applied to everything.)

I concede to SX1.b.  OK?

J

Why SX?  Because it is in keeping with S8.5,... And given that it is the first of its kind I figgered the 1 is superfluous.

But now, in keeping with versioning, ie S8.5.3, I will use SX1.b,...

Why should I have to type "Sonar" repeatedly?  And the correct creation of acronyms is to include the first part of the phrase, in this case Sonar X1. Hence, SX1. And in keeping with updates, which are usually distingushed by "dots," I will use SX1.b, cuz the "b" is not part of the name.

Any body explain the "X" yet?  is it 10?  Or, was someone forlorned about missing-out on XP stupidity of 2002?

I like the feeling of "The Alpha Male." "The Beta Male" is just not as cool.

Good yuk.

Your words have been written and read in this forum since I started using CW9.

Hence my words:
""
A bunch of the stuff, "Bugs" and feature adjustments, that have been reported/requested will not be addressed until SX2.
 
A bunch of the stuff, "Bugs" and adjustments, that have been reported/requested will NEVER be addressed.
