Intelligent beings of the [cakewalk] world unite!

Over the past few days i have been watching the forum for announcement of X1B.

I have seen the clamour - "i want it now", "i want it yesterday"

I have seen the nonsense "but i don't want it on a Friday" REALLY?! and  [something along the lines of ....] Companies deliberately avoid implementing new software over weekends - if only that were true - i have worked in the IT industry (buyer, seller, programmer etc.etc. for 30+ years and internationally the reverse is true)

i don't make my living out of cw, I am an "enthusiast" pour the scorn, yep I know you will. 

I have used cw since home studio 6 through releases upto X1 producer so clearly i like Sonar - yes it has its problems but as far as i'm aware nobody died!

So for the intelligent beings X1B will arrive it will be better (but still not perfect - it's software!) and we will enjoy and engage and be creative.

 For the rest  - even if it downloaded in 24.5 seconds, installed perfectly in 3.2 seconds, configured all of your plug-ins (regardless of which dodgy site they came from) perfectly, played keyboards like Chopin, guitar like Hendrix, interpreted your each and every thought and transformed them into a perfectly mixed song (optimised for MP3, CD, FLAC etc etc) every time and was 100 percent bug free you will still not be content.

If using Sonar is your main source of income - did you really adopt X1 immediately without a backup plan - if so you really should know better.

If (like me) you are an enthusiast - chill (go play your guitar, piano, mongolian nose flute (delete as  appropriate) and have another beer.

If, as I  suspect most of the more vitriolic complainants are, you are a fan/employee of another DAW provider - get a life

for those people with:

A - a sense of humour
B - a degree of intelligence

you will get the point

for the others I hope you will be happy spending the next few hours/days/weeks slagging me off, pointing out my numerous character flaws (even though you have no idea who i am) casting aspersions upon my parentage etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum.

But, before you embark on your literary masterpiece just remind me one more time - who installed X1 on your PC and then decided that you should use it for your most important projects 60 seconds after completing the first install?

Life's a Long Song - so give it your best performance :-)

I think you did a fine job of pointing fingers at everyone here "except" those that released a product that wasn't ready to be released yet.

Hows that for humor? ; )

Stop hogging the mirror!

Great post Chudson. You really need to post more often.

B - a degree of intelligence

Yeah .. right...

Dyslexics of the world UNTIE!

Milk-a-what!!??

I see, said the blind man, to his deaf son 

That's summed up the forum and Sonar users, what's your opinion on X1?

For me the software has just worked with one minor problem - but i don't stretch X1 in the way that many others do so for me the product didn't come out too early, but I readily accept that for some this may be the case.

I should also point out that I have huge sympathy for those "pro" users who took the "correct" approach of using X1 on non-critical projects who were then frustrated. I think that these are probably the people to whom we owe a big thank you because I am guessing that they were the rational voices who caused the product guys at CW to sit up and fix the bugs.

Look, I've done more with X1 than you can probably imagine, quit being so negative.  There are a thousand ways to make a song...X1 was a great leap forward and your still stuck on the little things "I can't do THIS" well, use your iginuity and creativity and do THAT. I can't believe how negative people are in this forum...X1 works, I make music every day and when I have a problem I work around it...such is life...does life suck? were you "released" to soon?

I don't think so...

Shawn, do you have more than 4GB of ram in your laptop (and are you running 64 bit)? If not, that might go some way to explaining your different experience to some.
