OK...so I pre-paid for X2, now what??

Do I need to go ahead and download the freebie thingy?  Is the email they sent me THE email I need to finally download whenever X2 becomes available?  How's this work exactly??

    Kudos to you for getting X2 :) I did as well yesterday.

    So in your CW Store account you should see: -

    DSF Symphonic
    Dimension Pro 1.5
    Rapture 1.22
    Sonar X2 Producer

    along with serials and registration numbers.

    DSF you can download and use it now.

    DimPro and Rapture are inside the Sonar X2 download - if like me you already see the Download, don't bother trying now.

    In fact I emailed support asking like, "Didn't you guys say end of Sept? Why do I already have the Download link?" and they replied immediately saying that we will receive a notification when the download is actually available.

    So yeah, pretty much like CJaysMusic said - just sit and wait. :)

    Hope this answers your question,
    Sam

    So we don't get to play with TH2 lite in the meantime? I was kind of hoping that would be available for predownload. I guess that's only for the full version. Can't afford that and I already have GR5 so I probably won't bother.

    You need to open your email and stare at it constantly for a minimum of 148 hours, afterwhich the X2 download link will appear. 


    I kid, I kid.

    Really, though, we'll send out emails with links once X2 is officially released.

    Keep in mind that the algorithm is designed so that if you blink more than once in the space of a minute the counter resets back to zero hours :)

    what if we enter the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42....does the clock reset and the links magically appear ?

    BTW, Seth, I enjoyed your live webinar the other day, I don't usually have the patience, but nice job.
    Can you steer me to any Sonar resources that are geared to us "older," and jazz-type musicians/composers. I don't use matrix view, beats, etc. much (although I'm open to learning about it), I usually am trying my best to simulate a small jazz combo that could play the same stuff live with no technical augmentation.

    Thanks again, I'm looking forward to X2...

    To answer your question, old pal: 

    You might to that.
    You log into the store at store.cakewalk.com
    You go to the tab My Account
    In the table "My Registered Products" you click on the download link next to SONAR X2 Producer.
    A page will appear where you can download DSF HD Strings installer.
     
    For this you don't have to wait 148 hours without blinking and mixing martini's.
    (Unless your Internet connection is slowed down by blinking and martini's)
    It's a dimension pro pack that you can use in your current version, I'm told.
    I'm unzipping it right now.
