It was inevitable....

First, it was love at first sight..... now the situation seems to be headed downhill rapidly.....

I'm talking about X2 and the discussions upstairs..... 

I guess the honeymoon's over...... and the restless search for the elusive X3 begins.... 

Yes?.... No?.... Does it even matter? 

I can't believe I'm reduced to going to a hack site to register my own software that I paid for.

I just don't understand, and perhaps you guys can fill me in, how it seems to be working so well for some folks and failing so spectacularly for others. I mean it's got its quirks and all but it's been running pretty smoothly here and I don't even know what the heck I'm doing. I just... don't get it. :-/

I don't get it either Beepster.

I was in the same boat with X1, it caused me untold headaches. I replaced hardware, software, reseated things, tried different AGP slots, 4 different video cards, 3 different audio cards, moved everything around in the USB slots, fresh installs with all updates, fresh installs without updates, checked house wiring for bad ground and dirty voltage, hooked up a $500 line filter, moved everything to different circuits in my house, sat my DAW on the carpet, off the carpet, replaced HDD's ... in the end ... none of it helped.

But now X2 seems to be running great on the very same DAW that X1 brought to it's knees ... and all along, just like they are doing to Timidi upstairs now, the exact same people said the exact same things to me that they are saying to him. It's you, it's your BIOS, it's your sound card, it's your sound card drivers, your motherboard, you updated this, you shouldn't have updated that, you used it between 1:30 and 1:37 on Sunday morning ... bull$hit! It was X1 all along.

Then there's the 'how serious do you take this and how much do you let it get to you' factor as well.

For example, there's one idiot  person upstairs that will argue with you until he and you are blue in the face that X1 worked perfectly on his system from day 1 of release. And we all know some things were flat out broken on day 1. Some things flat out did not work on any system anywhere. When you're dealing with people like that ... it makes things a lot worse.

I'm not going to doubt Timidi and blame his system for his problems because I've been through the exact same thing, and in the end, a Cakewalk software update (X2) fixed it ...

I'd be tickled pink if they'd just update X1...and offer THAT free.

Well howdy neighbor! :)

Long time no see!

Notice anything Peculiar about me (besides the ax in my head LOL!)

Um. I'm at a loss for words.

@ Bub---hey neighbor!  I noticed somewhere that you'd moved...didn't realize it was so close.  Welcome to MO.  It sure got cold suddenly, didn't it?  lol

It sure did!

My little digital outdoor thermometer thingy says it's 43 here at the moment.

I'm sure looking forward to those 'milder' winters down here that everyone keeps telling me about. :)

Bub...I can't remember where you came from, but I hear they're predicting another mild winter this year.  I just hope it hasn't already begun because fall's usually gorgeous around here.  43 isn't even near gorgeous...unless it's January or February!  :)

We lived in Iowa ... middle of the state. Not unusual for dead of winter temps to get to -10 ~ -20. But it was a dryer cold than when I lived in NJ. I'll take -20 with low humidity any day over 30 with high like I used to endure back in New Jersey.

We are surrounded by woods on two sides at our new place, can't wait for the leaves to turn. We had no trees to speak of in Iowa. Too flat and windy. :)

I wouldnt say I have an issue with the new release.

First I need to learn to play,
then mix properly,
then learn X1 before I jump further

Hopefully after all this, my insomnia problem will pass and I might be able to sleep  

I've got X1 essentials.... and just might start using MC6 for grins so I can learn a bit about it for a project or two..... essentially going backwards.....

Craig, I'm just OK?    

You're certainly the best looking female poster in this thread, HTH. ;)

Wow--Paulo...that changes everything!  

Well, they certainly changed everything with X1, that's for sure.
