From the top:
 
"The media browser works.  It just dosen't work the same way it used to.  My new Mustang doesn't work the same way that my 69' did.  Things change when upgrades happen.  I can't live without the high-beam switch being on the floor next to the clutch!" 
 
 
The media browser does work... up to X1C. 
It is broken in X1D. You can't browse the sounds or loops using your keyboard arrows anymore, like you could
in the previous versions, and like you can on other applications. Fix/Broken/Fix/Broken pattern right there.
 
 
"The whole issue about how bus grouping should work was not a clear consensus and a lot of people provided their opinion of how it should work to Cake.  It just happens that the solution that Cake took (with a lot of user input) was not a solution that you like."
 
 
You obviously did not read my posts. Am I complaining about the layout or the way to do things? I am not. I'm complaining about the fact that actions and commands applied
on quick groupped tracks do not function ALL THE TIME. Randomly, if you were to send multiple quick group tracks to an AUX, SOME tracks might make it to the AUX, SOME might
not. We call this a bug, and a pretty serious one.
 
 
"The problems that you (and a lot of other people) are having with Melodine in the X1d release does not prevent you from using Melodine.  It just means that you can't fast-bounce Melodine tracks.  Get a cup of coffee.  Could be this gets fixed in X1n or X2, could be that it doesn't.  Regardless, it is the tool that you have."
 
 
What melodyne problem? not aware of that, you got the wrong thread -
 
 
"I think that it is critical to distinguish between design features and decisions that Cake has to make from bugs and unstable code.  I have seen Cake go to some impressive lengths to fix bugs.  A lot more often I've been told that things are working as designed and that I just need to learn to use the tool.  If 'a feature'  is working as designed then it is the tool that we have to work with."
 
 
You're talking about layout and workflow complaints. you got the wrong thread again. this thread is about stability.
 
 
"Bummer that changing things kills your vibe.  This probably wouldn't be as big a distraction if you spent more time learning what the new features (good and bad) were and how they worked.  Trying to use the same shortcut keystrokes that you used in a previous release is probably real frustrating.  The alternative is to reinstall XP and go back to 8.5.  I wonder if I could buy the old Mustang back?"
 
 
ahaaahah ok ok so I see you just here to vent on the multiple complaints of X1 being so different compared to 8.5.3 - 
Wrong thread, Cake-Knight, Defender-Of-The-X1-Brotherhood ;)
 
 
"It IS about the finished product.  You could have the same results if you were using PT or Cubase or any other DAW.  That you are working in X1 (when you have a lot of other options) tells me that, problems and all, X1 is the better tool for your workflow.  A professional learns how to use his/her tools to get the job done."
 
 
We agree. Now let's all move towards making X1 finally stable & reliable.    
 

Glen, Why do you keep repeating ''Learn to use it''. If you had a hammer, knew how to use it, and after a while noticed that the head started to get loose, would you blame your own knowledge of the tool? You wouldn't. It makes no sense. When the tool keeps getting updated and updated and patched and this and that, there's a greater risk of undoing the good and with Sonar it happens more often than not. It's an observation of a fact. If anything more people should honk their horn if the complaints are legitimate.

You might consider posting your problem, the recipie to create it, and what your expected results are here to see if anyone else has the same problem (and how many).

 
Kewl did list two at the top of this page, the first of which is a known (or at least reported) Browser issue that requires using the mouse instead of keyboard, and the second which seems to be an intermittent Grouping problem that I personally have never seen.   I can't imagine that's the whole ball of wax...
 

Hmm, this must be yet another of those vague X1D threads John T was talking about.
