Got X3 installed...I think...

And gonna have to have a tutorial about how to change colors of various things...mostly track and console backgrounds as everything I've tried has not worked as yet.  Also Dim Pro made me upgrade...but then still wouldn't install.  No biggie as I don't use it.  Looks like as per usual I've got a lot of work to do to re-configure my VSTs and Normal template and such.  But do hope I can finally make all my tracks and console strips the colors I want them.  Tell me I'm not dreaming.

    It's pretty cool. The tracks do actually follow the color of their respective busses.

    Ol Pal,
     
    It's not like you would think it would be...there is a bar along the side of the Track in track view,
    click on that and the Color window pops up....then select...
    From there you'll figure the rest out....

    Have fun!!!

    If by "re-configure my VSTs" you mean create your own order for VST instruments forget it I tried saved them how I like them and!!!! oh no option to select your layout.  Works for effects not for instruments.
     
    Of course I could have missed something.

    Hi,
     
    I'm thinking that the only thing that is missing is a little rouge and some pancake, and maybe some shadow here and there to make it better!
     
    No wonder violins and guitars are so ugly!

     I'm almost ready to jump too Ol Pal. What is the advantage to getting a hard copy other than having a copy just in case or a lost internet connection, just curious?  I don't think Ive used a disk for my last several upgrades.
     
     How do you like it so far?

    In my case the only real difference with buying the "hard" copy is that I had to wait a month on it.  No bad thing as two (almost three) updates occurred while I waited.  It is nice to have the disks handy should I need to re-install.
    Haven't had time to play with it yet.  I'll keep ya posted.

    when i got x2 the DimPro/Rapture installs nearly made me kill someone- had to do several registry hacks to get them working...started here http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/reader.aspx/2007013238 and this helped too as Rapture was also not playing ball http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2667101&mpage=4  think youj had that issue too?!

    Well, I'm not sure what the deal was with DimPro.  First when I ran the installer disk it said I had to update my existing DP from Cake...which I did.  Then I ran the installer again and it basically threw up a dialog saying the same thing again.  Maybe I needed to reboot or something.  I'll try again tonight. Rapture...as far as I know now...loaded fine. Another funny thing was that I got a coupon with a serial number for Addictive Drums...which I've already got...and I got a totally different serial number for it in my email from Cake after registering.  Go figure.

    Yup...even tho it never installed properly with x3, it's there and operating seemingly normally.

     I might go for the disk but I'm not sure if I have enough patience to wait a whole month.

     I guess Cakewalk must take  a hit for selling hard copy though distributors. It sells for the same price either way. It sure makes sense to have a copy  laying around. Some companies offer a discount for using DL.
