Let's hear the good stuff in X2...

Sounds like many of you are up and running so let's hear some tales of triumph and awesome.

too early to say beep, give it a few days and the usual release cycle of "yay" and "nay" will start.. it's a yearly thing.. hero / villain thing .. if it wasn't like that , I'd think something was really up 

Italy:
X2 downloaded and used for about 60 minutes.
Seems to be faster and more accurate than X1 relating to the GUI. I'm getting a good sound and a very good stability.
I'm mixing and i'm going to close my last work on X2 platform.
I'll tell you.

@scook... I have far grander plans for R-Mix. That silly little tester song is gonna get shelved as soon as I finish the guitars. If I do anything with it I'll start completely from scratch. It's an interesting tune but it was just a test.

@piangio... Please do. Very much looking forward to hearing what people are achieving in X2. Greetings from Canada.

@scook... I'm just surprised so many people here still use IE for this kind of thing. I've heard good things about IE9 and beyond (or whatever the version is) but not having a dl manager included? Very strange.

IE is installed on everyone's PC so it is the path of least resistance. I imagine it is used mostly because it is there. I prefer using FDM instead of the embedded managers in the other popular browsers anyway.

IE is closed for ever here now !! screwd my downloads and is known security issue !!

I like the Breverb. I can only use whatever setting it opens up with though. The gui is illedgable although I did figure out to turn the dry off.

I'm on the fence with the console emulator. I just don't hear a difference yet.

Playing the audio seems much better. (not recorded yet)

The R-Mix is still not doing it for me but I only glanced at it.

I'm on the fence with the console emulator. I just don't hear a difference yet.

 
From what I've read about other emulators, it's more of a cumulative effect than something you hear per track.   But since I've never used one myself I'm assuming this is fairly accurate.    I am looking forward to testing the theory first-hand.   
 

@guitarpima... I know it would be an epic pain in the butt to code but I'd be really impressed with Cake if they added some features for the folks who's peepers aren't so good anymore. I've got some visual concerns brewing and it'd be nice to know I could keep making music if something happened. Good to hear Breverb is rockin' it though. And yeah the console emulator was described as cumulative in the webinar. I guess it's supposed to be about the subtleties and nuances certain boards add to the overall mix. I'm looking forward to it. Curious as to whether there is some kind of global control so we can a/b/c the various boards at the arse end of our mixes. Cheers.

Everytime I insert the CEM, it hicups. No dropouts though. Of course, I have pretty big projects going on that I'm messing with to get my feet wet.

CEM? Console Emulator? That doesn't surprise me. Sounds like that software is massive.

Nothing here when inserting Console Emulation, except smooth sounds..

You can insert multiple modules of the same type all at once by using quickgrouping in X2. Select all the tracks or buses you want them on, and hold down CTRL while inserting the module you want on one of them. This is just one of the quickgrouping enhancements in X2. 

Up and running on Windows 8.  So far no problems.  However, playing with R-MiX and Automation lanes is addictive, thus don't think i will make it into work tomorrow....
