Noel Borthwick [Cakewalk]
We're already working on the next update which will have fixes for some of the user reported workflow issues and some cool stuff from Craig. It should be here this month. Its been a crazy since we have to deal with shipping SONAR plus three upcoming products so its been an insane start to the year!
No rush on the updates Noel as I have more than enough to get my old head around for the moment, tomorrow will be fine.
I'm really glad to hear the priority for the first update is the workflow issues and any additional bug fixes. Traditionally the first update after a release is bug fixes but if there's extra thrown in, so much the better. I can wait a month for new features and I suspect others are in the same situation.
And to confirm, yes I do have some cool stuff! I've already mentioned the Acoustic Piezo amp. I tested it out at Gibson with about a half dozen different guitars with piezo pickups (the downside is now I want a Hummingbird, oh well), and the difference is night and day. I should definitely record some audio examples. The object of the amp is that when you plug the guitar in, it sounds like an engineer spent an hour patching in rack effects and tweaking.
I also have a new effect for the Anderton Collection, but I'll let that be a surprise...and some other stuff as well.
BTW don't know if anyone noticed, but a lot of the Soft Synth track icons have been replaced by ones I did that I think are more readable. Noel is right, there are a zillion little fixes and changes "under the hood." That is why people are having such good experiences with the program.
