Sorry, entered this comment twice and cant delete the comment frame.

I have been using X1 from early in it's release. I have some issues with getting used to it due to the habits I developed with version 8.5 and earlier. Also my system is somewhat low on power and disc space at this point, so I cannot really evaluate it's stability and power fully until I upgrade my system (coming soon). I like a lot of the new features, such as the Pro Channel strip, and for the most part I like the docking options, although I sometimes struggle to use them because I am so used to opening multiple windows all over the place. A few things I cannot yet get used to and mostly dislike:  Global snap settings (as has been mentioned a lot), the lack of a "save" icon (you have to do File/Save), the inability of the tool bar to fit all your gadgets or expand the toolbar space, and I continually accidentally delete notes in PRV by right clicking, when what I wanted to do was to bring up the note properties to edit them (it's a simple doubleclick, but old habits die hard). Also, in PRV when I open it up it has all notes selected automatically and I invariably edit a note and wind up editing hundreds or thousands of notes, causing some delays and even a crash or two. In theory the "smart" tools are smarter, but I'm not as smart as they are . 
In general most of my gripes are that I have to change the way I'm used to working, and this I accept for the most part as the price you pay when you upgrade, and in the long run it may well be worth it; but I am still undecided at this point.

 

This is great.  I wonder how long it will take them to make it compatible with the C version of X1 due in August.  It would be nice if Cakewalk forwarded them a demo of it.

You might want to check out benstat's Sonar Plus (FREE) as it will give you most of your buttons back as well as a number of other useful setup adjusments and extra control (dual snapsettings  NOW!).... It's totally benign to Sonar itself and after a simple install it will totally feel as tho Sonar simply put back a user toolbar!

Sonar Plus is good. But do you guys see odd behaviour within the browser when you hit save (either method)?

no odd behavior here when doing a save as or ctrl s

UNTIL, last night at 2:50 am EST Sonar crashed for no reason what so ever during the mixdown of my only entry into the OMG contest. This resulted in missing the deadline and trust me I was pissed. Now, I won't put it all on Sonar because I probably should've got it in earlier, but at the end of the day I relied on Sonar to get a job done for me and it failed in a "critical time sensitive moment." I mean once I restarted Sonar and did the mixdown over it was down, but as I said it was too late by then :(.............

 
Well, that is a horror story...

Looks like the posts are numbered sequentially. What's wrong ?
