Thinking about upgrade to sonar x2 from sonar x1
Hi! I have been using sonar x1 and it works great. I am thinking about upgrade to x2. Could you please xplain me if x2 installs as a separate application so X1 will remain intact? Thanks in advance and please excuse my english.

All new versions always install as independent and separate installs.

Yes, but you also have the option when installing to duplicate most custom settings with X1 to X2.
However, I think it's pretty likely that once you switch to X2, you'll stay there. Just remember to do the X2a update, it makes quite a difference.

I would suggest that you wait just a few weeks since you have waited this long. There is a good possibility that when you upgrade to x2 you might just get a fee upgrade to the next paid update as well.
If you don't want to wait that is ok too you will get a good value.

Yes if you don't want to wait X2 is only $49! Great value!

Just to be sure I got it right: when upgrading to Sonar X2, you can import the preferences and other settings from X1? It would make life easier if the upgrade configured the audio, vsts folder settings, etc.

I would recommend that you keep X1 and use it until . . . 1. An X2b update comes with fixes 2. or wait until X3 is released, and spend your $$$ on it and get the producer version, with all the good stuff. A new version do not always make it " better ". As long you can do what you intend with it, then there's no reason to upgrade ? I myself was a bit to hasty doing that . . thinking it must be better, even if there was many post on the forums about " bug's " some small ones and other nasty creeps  ohh well !
