Hi all,  It's been a while.  I've been using X1 since it came out.  Was on 8.5.4 before that.  The change to X1 was a bit jarring at first.  ( I still don't like how you have to open the pro channel first before you can make an EQ tweak on a track.)
 
I'm on W7/64 and a new machine.  Is there enough improvements in Platinum and the new update path to make a switch worth it?
 
I know it is a vague question, I guess I just want to hear what you all think.  I know today is the last day for the drum mixing bundle too.  Have people liked that?
 
Thanks,
 
Erik
 

X3 is no longer for sale, but if you already own a copy the X3e version (be sure to update to that patch) has significant improvements to features/stability over X1d.

Do not think you can purchase X3 any more, is the upgrade worth it, possibly only you can answer that for yourself.  Personally I am enjoying the new model and as for S-Plat it is a dream to use.

Yeah, I forgot that it is no longer X3.  Platinum is what I meant.  (fixed)

Go for Platinum - it's worth every penny you pay for the upgrade (check out the new features here and the tremendous list of fixes that came with the monthly updates)

Platinum has a lot of additional content/fixes over X3, so is that much further along. Platinum has a demo as of last month, so you can install/play with it, but it will not save/export.

I was on the fence, but leaning toward upgrading.  You all just pushed me over.  :)
 
Thanks!
 

I believe that you have been pushed in the right direction

Don't resist. You will not regret it. No way.

Platinum has significant features you will love. Firstly. Platinum really works with you on the screensizes. It does have great stability and many under the hood improvements will amaze you. I could name them for you. But there are too many. So all I can say.... The extra's alone are well worth it. The main thing for me was. I have large and small screens. Because I hop between three machines. A laptop and two studio machines. All in their own spaces. And I have a studio machine in a rack with a small screen on top (15 inch). And using the screen sets I can easily navigate and change screens using the numbers above the querty keyboard I use. And it's fast and convenient.
