Really! you don't even have all the bugs out of X3!!! and now you want to start a "paid subscription DAW" to replace everything! lol!
Lets talk..... I say "CLASS ACTION SUIT!" you sold me X3e and it does NOT work. off the top of my head, channel strip eq will only work with preset. VST loader loads differently on its own and random plugins don't even show up... Even the ones that came with X3! lol.... CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! I have had to reinstall X3 many times because magically plugins become installed wrong!, Freeze track doubles the tracks...   
 
I've ben using Cakewalk since it was 12tone over 20 years and this is upgrade (lol) if you want to call it that is the last straw for me! HELLO ProTools!
BTW... and if you can't  FIX X3, I want my money back! it's crap and you don't stand behind ANYTHING you have crate!

Yeah... I had the same problems when I tried to install X3 on my Speak and Spell.
 
For some reason it works great on my semi modern PC tho.

I'm on a new PC system...

RavenPanther - That's something you would really have to call cake customer service about. Though the bakers are out in force because of the impending release, this is just a user forum. It seems to me they've always tried to fair, but if you bought it at the sale price, most of us paid a lot more, you may have to pay the upgrade price or don't upgrade and just use X3 which is a very good release. I would still call them and ask about though.

Thanks, hadn't thought about that. I'll do this and see where it goes :D

lost my password and user name... lol, I don't have much use in hanging out on forums to feel important, needed and wanted. ;) 

Well, maybe someone here can help you get X3 straightened out on your system. Best of luck to you.

I called Cakewalk sales today... the guy picked up right way.... that's the 1st sign that this subscription DAW won't work... and the fact that he sounded "in my opinion" that I had woken him or he lives in Colorado.... ;)

So you're complaining because Cakewalk answers the phone promptly. I will contact Cakewalk tomorrow and suggest that they wait at least 10 rings before answering the phone, or send people to voice mail.

Hm, not sure I like this either.  I guess I've been used to getting the $99.00 upgrades when offered, so this in effect is now going to cost me 50% more than what I'm used to paying.  It's probably more fair, but still...
 
I guess this is the end of sales and discounts on the actual DAW, is that right?
 
Also, very disappointed in the feature set even released so far.  The only thing remotely that seems of interest to me is the Audiosnap additions, but from what I see now (and maybe there's more, forgive me if I'm wrong), it doesn't look like much has really been added or changed.  There's better detection, I get that, but I didn't see any more options on online or off-line algorithms.  I would have really like to have a much better real-time algorithm.
 
Also, tbh, what I have seen (so far) in the initial release is a lot of cosmetic or small features, and not stuff that really gets my blood pumping.  A better looking piano keyboard in the PRV and stacked controls might be nice, but for me much better Audiosnap enhancements, auto slice to drum/sample machine, and fully nestable tracks, or (gasp!) even a Mac version would make it much more likely for me to pony up the monthly or yearly costs.
 
So, for now, I'm going to sit on the sidelines and see how this grand experiment shakes out.  It will be interesting to see if other DAW providers try it.

Then how do we know it isn't a fresh install that has all kinds of devices enabled that are known to interfere with real-time audio streaming?
 
Either start a thread detailing your problems and your system so that people can help you, or contact Cakewalk tech support. All you're doing here is taking bandwidth away from legitimate users who know how to get software working properly, and have honest questions and concerns about how the new model is going to affect them. 

Are sonitus plugins still there in platinum?

No, no, I'd much rather be put on hold for 30 minutes, then have someone read from a script in the cheeriest effing voice ever. I'm actually glad someone answered and sounded like he just woke up, I might even crack a few jokes and share a laugh with someone like that while they're helping me fix my sh*t.

So, no more simply downloading the uprade? Sorry to be a naysayer, but I don't see an upside to renting software on the customer end.
 
Maybe I'm seeing it wrong, but when you purchase software you can continue using it until the OS will no longer support it. Pay a premium price to rent it and once your subscription is up you are forced to renew and can longer use it until you do?
 
Is that correct?

No, if you elect to pay in 12 monthly payments, you will have a nonexpiring license to the software with the 12th payment. If you make the single lump sum payment, the nonexpiring license is yours immediately along 12 months of updates.
