I have Sonar X3 Producer, but didn't get the X4 Platinum before the acquisition. How does the "streamlined" free version
compare? Where does it land - before or after X3? before or after X4? Altogether different?
 
(I'm not asking about plug ins - I realize some were dropped. I'm asking about the core features in X4 I didn't get. Are they
in the streamlined version, for example.)
 
Thanks so much for any detailed information you may have. I'm excited Cakewalk was picked up!!!! :)
 
 
 

If you considered it as part of the X series CbB would be X5. It is a new product/upgrade based on Platinum in the same sense that Platinum was based on X3 Producer.

As far as I can tell all of the features of the October 2017 update are included along with some fixes.
