Thank You Noel and Thank You Craig for your quick response. I have been using the WAV microsoft export function since it was available. I forget what version it was. It seems to work better for me when I take that format and burn to CD. I don't know why, maybe it is the software I am using. I also convert to MP3 from the exported wav file and for that I will use Sound Forge. for some reason I get better results in fidelity when I use that WAV microsoft format. That is why I prefer it. I know it should make no difference and it is probably the same format but I can hear a difference on my system. I ran several tests back when I upgraded to X1 and even though it is the same format I get the beter sounding results.
 
Now I know that sounds crazy and I don't why that is, but that is what my ears perceive.
 
I have been a Cakewalk customer from the beginning and it has always been my experience that this company has the best customer support of any DAW on the planet. It would be great if you kept the format and I trust that it will be ironed out. In the mean time I will give the standard WAV format a try when I am back in the studio in a few days. I will let you know what I find out.
 
Other than this little snafu Cambridge rocks and I am glad that I decided to upgrade. It was a good investment. 

Glad cake worked it out for you. I always use "Wave" (the top one in the "file of type" list) outputs .wav, works fine every time... Tried that one?

I just fixed it in the code. It was a counting error that was leading it to think that the option selected was an external encoder. Fix will be in the next update. For now follow the instructions above if you want to use the WAV(Microsoft) and WAVEX formats.

Pretty impressive, Noel.

Wanted to reply to Noel, post is below..

Noel, while you are it and fixing things :),
Nr1: can you fix the Shift+T and Shift+A to collapse and expand ALL tracks takelanes and automation lanes? ;) this will be very useful!
Shortcut "T" and "A" could be for active track takelanes/automation and shift+T and shift+A could be for all tracks (ofcourse the ones that has takelanes and automation data will be collapsed/expanded)

Nr2: and also make active track highlight more visible, like highlighting the whole horizontal track field and not only track text BG as it is now, this also should be highlighted on the console view...

ETA on these? Looking forward next update then, Thanks a bunch :)

AWESOME
Thank You Noel, This is very much appreciated! 

How many software companies do you know that can/will fix a problem on the fly while chatting in a forum...?  Only one that I know of... :) .

Exactly.
 
I have stated many times before that Cakewalk's Support is excellent, and that these forums are a massive bonus to using Sonar.
 
I had an issue when I first posted on these forums, and was staggered that the C.T.O. (Noel) posted a solution, to a relative newbie problem.
