Ok here's simple facts :
 
Day one : install of X3 
 first contact : yes beautyfull 
 
Insert of maschine multi outs : woah super slow !!!
ok i check my audio setting : no asio infos (FIRST CONFIRMED BUG)
no big deal i keep creating a tracks  i insert Alchemy , play some , play with solo : (SECOND CONFIRMED BUG)
ok let's try new plugins , oups my plugins layout , let's choose all plugins , done ...mmm great new plugins , let's go back to my layout : no way (THIRD CONFIRMED BUG) 
 
i stop here (i could go on) ....so my question is simple : DO YOU guyz really think those are UNSPOTABLE BUGS !!! just a simple regular workflow would have been able to notice that after less than 5 min !!!
 
 
Those are bugs and confirmed , NO MATTER the SYSTEM .......THOSE ARE BUGS on my systems and others system ....isn't that clear !!!!
 
To answer Steven : no bug reports since it have been confirmed and so escaladated !!
 
Beta team ? i have been ask to be part , i sent the agreement , never had a reply;....no big deal .....but as i'm incompetent and have ****ty systems   i don't see why ....i would be no help for them ...(if i read you guyz well) ...
 
I'm out , have fun , and we will say wassup when the bug list will be launched , and i will then love to hear from you guyz your conclusions about  how X3 final candidate (actually B) was so solid 
 
No matter what i say , you guyz knows it better , so track of day is :

Next time Zo stick with the specifics. I suggest starting ONE thread per bug and give CLEAR steps to repro and be prepared to discuss it and try stuff that people may suggest. Now if you were writing this in the X2 days I'd cut you some slack. However X3 is barely out and we've had 3 substantial patches already a rant followed by your CV is gonna make you look bad... Even when your comments may or may not be valid.

When something doesn't work as you think it should. it is frustrating. It sucks that you are frustrated.
 
But when considering true bugs versus "there may be something wrong on my end", there are a few things to consider.
 
1) If small-to-no-users can't reproduce the issue... it may be you
2) It could be Cake
3) Use the forum like you are to find your solution. Or try different ways to fix it (i.e. are your plugins/hardware drivers current?)
4) Build a box from scratch and see how it works.
 
Work through it to see if you can make headway, because I don't encounter the same issues as you.

It's kind of fascinating to watch all you beta testers hard at work.  Up until today I felt that you were more or less being (ab)used by Cakewalk to do their beta testing for them, for free.
 
I had a sort of revelation a few hours ago.  First, I get the impression some of you really enjoy doing this and second, the help you provide Cakewalk makes the whole thing a team effort and may very well be contributing substantially to Sonar's very reasonable price (ignoring for the moment the issue of bugs that persist).
 
So keep up the good work.  If I and my family weren't broke (we weren't last year) I'd have certainly already bought the update.  Now I want to make sure I get something useful, and I don't need any of the new bells and whistles.

SONAR X3 has been pretty stable from the initial release and I don't think the majority of X3 customers feel like they are being abused at all. The reality is that in the field, issues come up and they get reported back to us. This isn't specific to SONAR but every software out there. We've been hard at work and listening to users. We are committed to keep on improving SONAR beyond the initial release. 

 
Andrew , may i suggest a simple thing :
 a data base with dynamic update as soon as a bug is validated and escaladed by you guyz , like this we will not spend time in those kinda of bulsssshhhit  ....
 
exemple : i have a bug A , i check the list , if it's in , i move on , if not , i post and submit then if no workaround

In case there's any doubt your contribution to this post has contributed nothing.

Actually, it was an apology of sorts for having rained on your parade.
