Sonar X1 Quick fix (patch) available for Download *now*

Not X1 C but maybe better. It looks like Cakewalk are looking at quicker fixes instead of larger less frequent fixes. You can download the patch here

Yes. I like the idea of quicker fixes. Even if there are problems that arise from it at least the user can get those fixes quicker. Waiting months for a patch is too long IMO. I think this new approach from Cakewalk is much better.

I agree - quick fixes are great. Looks like a few more nagging issues have been fixed for some.

I'm also pleased to see you can't get access without being a registered user, although someone is bound to leak this out eventually. I wish they would do this with every update/patch. Might not stop the problem, but could slow them down a little.

Cool. But what's the serial number thing? I don't recall having to provide that with previous fixes!

Could be Cakewalk want to try and stop people who have not bought the product from getting the patches. Just guessing here but the patches may work with a cracked version. Also maybe Cakewalk also want stop people posting on the forum about bugs with cracked versions.

I am just guessing here again but it does seem like Cakewalk want to try and maximise their time talking to actual customers not follow complaints /threads from users of cracked versions of Sonar.

Just a little protection against thieves to slow them down. As I've said earlier, I'm glad they are doing this once again. They used to do this back in earlier versions of Sonar, then started giving the updates away without verification. 

 

Yes. Less time chasing issues they don't need to chase. It might save Cakewalk a huge amount of time. Time they will want to spend with existing customers. 

X1b includes the fixes in the X1a Hotfix.
It is not necessary to install the X1a Hotfix.

SONAR X1 => X1a => X1b => Quickfix

I hope this helps!

Ah, Zyler beat me to it and cleared it up. :)

Folks, what sound cards were involved with the hotfixes?  I have an EMU 404 PCI card, does anyone know if that was on the list of cards that needed the hotfix?

You only need X1a, X1b, and the current quickfix if it applies to you.

The X1a hotfix became obsolete with X1b.

Cakewalk say: "This QuickFix has only received minimal testing to expedite delivery, if you are not affected by any of the above issues then you do not need to install this QuickFix."

What a great surprise to come home to. Thanks Bakers

Same here
so far, so great

The more timely patches are appreciated!

So I'm assuming the fixes addressed in the Quick Fix (once fully tested and all) will be included in the next big official patch, yeah?...

Only Cakewalk know that for sure but I would think that would be the case. They can of course confirm or deny but it looks likely.

In other words, it will be the same as how Micro$oft provide Windows and Office updates, i.e. with their small patches sent via Automatic Updates, then Service Packs later on.

Yes it does look that way.
