    Give it time. No software is perfect.

    I do think that this roll out is the best CW has ever had.

    Their quality control did its job!

    Best

    Really for me (I keep banging on about this) but X1 was a right twat to edit with, really clumsy...

    X2 has been retuned and edits along like a dream.

    My only gripe is that we had to pay for the roll out when X1 was clearly flawed in terms of editing....

    Its a very minor gripe as I'm happy to support CW....

    Jumping from 8.5 to X1 was HELL but X2 has returned to the lovely flow 8.5 had.....

    I like that the waveforms on muted tracks are muted in color. Not sure if that's new to X2, but I just noticed it.

    I'm sure they will have a few hiccups but I doubt they will have a repeat of the first run, I like the Silverlight GUI but I will give a little time to mature. All and All I think they got a lot better this time my friends.

    I like the way Sonar support is all over this forum in the aftermath of the X2 release, explaining new features, helping with problems, and holding a few hands, mine included. I think they knew Cakewalk blew it with X1 (bugs and stability issues), and wanted to avoid a repeat. They also wanted to keep a close ear to the ground. That's good business, and much appreciated.

    Never do more in the morning than you can undo in the afternoon.
