Nice review from MusicTech Mag

http://forum.cakewalk.com/First-SONAR-X3-review-from-Music-Tech-m2919919.aspx

Yeah I know - that's what the link is to

So I'm not the only one that liked the new Skylight GUI when X1 came out? 
 
 

I started with Sonar 6, and loved it.
 
When I updated to X1 I was initially confused, but, with the help of Scott's book,  realised just how good the new interface was.
 
I couldn't imagine going back to the old one.
 
By the time X1d had been released, I loved the stability and workflow.  When X2 came out, I was unsure if the upgrade was worth it.  To my surprise, it was a huge improvement to workflow - just refining the X series.
 
X3 has been the same, for me.  It is just getting better and better.
 
As with the review, 9/10 from me.
 
I would give it 10/10, but it still needs my input to make music..

+1, I vote for the 10/10 too.

Well we have something to aspire to next time around :)
 
I think overall we were pretty thrilled with the review. There's more coming soon too. All have been extremely positive!

I started with Professional 8 and went to Pro Audio 9. Sonar was a huge change. It took me awhile to figure it out. Example was the buss pane. I had no clue what it was for. LOL When it dawned on me why it was there it was like a light went on in my head.  
 
I have seen all the changes over the years and have embraced them all. I learned from that buss pane experience that CW is much smarter then I am. That understanding has served me well.  
 
 

 
Bus pane?  Never heard of it.. 
 
Another three will be along any minute.
 
+1 to "CW is much smarter then I am. That understanding has served me well."
 
I'm just of to check that everything is battened down, the storm is due any minute.  Although I feel that it may have been somewhat exaggerated..

Thanks for your concern, John, but I think it is just over reaction by our meteorologists.  They missed the storm in the eighties, and don't want to be caught out again.
 
I'm off to bed now, and don't expect much carnage in the morning.  There's talk of eighty mile an hour winds and flood warnings, but I imagine it will amount to nothing here.  Living in the Fens (where it's completely flat and below sea level) is pretty windy at the best of times.  I don't think the locals would even comment on a storm. 
 
It's not like the tornadoes you have in the states.

Yeah, this is not turning out to be all that big a deal so far here in the uk. Certainly milder than feared.
