 What's not to like?

A quick look around of what transpired with all the frustration since X2 is a good answer of what's not to like.

Indeed. I'm not just complaining for the sake of it, I've frankly got better things to do. Cakewalk's own - very expensive - Sonar-labelled hardware doesn't work right with Sonar. They still sell this hardware specifically as having "tight integration with Sonar". It's pretty shocking, really.

Actually, let me refine that point. The hardware, of course, hasn't changed. At the time it came out, I would say Sonar 8.5 + v700 was the best hardware / software system you could get outside the Pro Tools sphere. What has changed is that Cakewalk clearly don't test adequately on the thing before releasing. So the current console implementation is roughly as good as I could have got with a Mackie console for a third of the price. It won't do.

Yeah that's pretty much the sad part of the story... If someone at cakewalk was actually trying to work with it more than 2 minutes we would not be forced to fill bug report forms to fix the obvious flaws... Hey, even commun features like snap was broke. Absolute evidence nobody worked with it, whatever anybody could say and that's what I hope too would change. But what can we do about it?  I tryied since x1 to make people aware of this and now we're still dealing with the "No Quality Control" issue... Even if I lost a bit of hope, I understand you Jhon and I'm totally with you on this one.

I wouldn't want to personalise it in any way. I know for a fact that there *are* people at Cakewalk who have put some substantial work into v700 compatibility. But there's some sort of failure of corporate policy at work. Either the decision has been formally made to reduce the level of support, or the level of support has declined through some sort of carelessness. Neither is really acceptable. I'm not out to offend individual engineers or anything, or apportion blame, but it's just not good enough and needs to get sorted out.
