Less than a week to go now! Well, as Scott's 'Sonar x4 Power' is listed on three sites as being published on 26th November I guess next Tuesday could be very exciting.

Would not be wise to release a new product the day before Thanksgiving. Sorry to disappoint.

I have had mostly performance and stability issues with Sonar since version 8 (I currently use X3e Producer). I would like to see a "major" X4 rework to handle CPU, RAM, thread (core) management, and VST3 handling A LOT BETTER! They also need to implement the capability of saving and opening projects with the "PDC" button enabled. I find using Sonar easy and intuitive and is my favorite DAW, but have had much better stability with Cubase 7.5 Also, have problems with Softube "VST3" plugins as they have to be constantly turned on or Sonar will cause audio dropouts (Softube says no issues with other DAWs). I wish Sonar would simply look at their competitor's DAWs and implement some of their features e.g. Cubase's "re-record mode" and the ability of changing the sample rate "after" a project has been created to another sample rate (not only when just starting a new project like Sonar), Protool's AAX engine stability that dynamically allocates CPU and RAM resources in real time, etc. I can only hope that Sonar in the X4 version will focus more on "stability and performance" and not "more features" like plugins or synths that X3 marketed to get new customers. Well thanks for reading my rant. I feel better getting it out. Hope Sonar could realize that marketing their DAW as better performance and stability that their competitors is what will attract new users.

I started projects in the wrong sample rate a few times. I dragged the project audio folders into Sound Forge and did a sample rate change batch process, changed the sample rate in SONAR, and re-loaded the project. Not totally elegant, but it works.

So you're the guy that is slowing up the X4 release.

Ah, ok. I'm in the UK and have no idea when Thanksgiving is. My American brother in law lives nearby but I think his English wife drew the line a few years ago at standing in the back garden plunging a turkey into an oil barrel full of boiling fat.... He has to make do with a Betty Crocker (?) chocolate cake, I think she buys the mix on line.

This means invasion imminent ... Stock up on baked beans cans I suggest. Maybe they intend to implant the X4 into the turkeys themselves... Ever seen Halloween 3?

Good business sense makes it early December as it will be delivered in time for Xmas and folks like to spend around this time. After Christmas would be a disastrous marketing strategy and at least Spring time before a release. That's my view on it.

Before all the loonies get up pre dawn on Thursday/Friday to spend their holiday-gift money on stupid stuff.

Yeah, won't be before TG, XMas would mean sales drop of post Xmas, New years is sales time, February and March are recovery times. I can't see us getting a peak at anything until April onwards. I have no idea where things are with Windows 10, but surely that's a big influence
