You think they are the lucky ones.  They are actually the canaries in the coal mine that drop dead before you do.




 
True - so chirp chirp...
 
Well, so far so good. Installed. Migrated old settings and moved synth & fx menus from old install. Tried running a few VSTi's  ok. Also got the ad2 adpaks down ok.
 
Scanner complained on rematrix and wanted me to disable, not sure why, but I've ignored it for now.

I got an invite but the link brings me to a $199 page that doesn't change when I get to the final checkout page. So....no dice for me.
 


Hi ...wicked. Looks like you had 17 products missing from your new account. I just migrated them over which should fix your upgrade pricing. Can you click the BUY NOW link again (don't simply refresh the page)? It should now reflect the proper price in your cart.


Sorry for the trouble!

It isn't alienation. We're launching a lot of new systems pretty simultaneously... new store, new delivery system/installer, new authorization scheme, etc. Dipping our toe in the water is for your benefit. We're being rather thorough, but if the unlikely scenario where something goes terribly wrong occurs, we'll be able better manage/repair it with 20 new customers vs a million. It's not exactly a "test launch" - but it's helping us be confident before releasing to the whole world. I hope you understand.

 
Hmm, that was probably just hyperbole, but in another thread just today I was wondering how CW can stay in business with charging only $150 per customer. If it's anywhere near 1 million customers, well then we know how...

I don't have any problem whatsoever with some Cakewalk customers being 'more equal than others'...
 
AGAIN.
 
That is, of course, providing that the 12 month membership of each of the 'lucky 20' actually started when they downloaded it?
 
 
 
Hang on a second, I haven't checked my emails for a couple of hours, I might have been blessed with a golden ticket...
 
 
 
 
... in which case, if I have, I'll be deleting this post before the ink's dry.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oh bugger.
 
Thanks Cakewalk

[sheepish] Please definitely and absolutely ignore the bit about the 12 months starting when I download it  [/sheepish]

Whatever next...
 
No doubt I'll soon be promoted to the lofty position of forum host comptroller

Clear your cache. That shouldn't be. Otherwise you might have an account issue. Is SONAR X3 Producer listed in your products?



Andrew wins the 1st annual "Michael's fave Cake employee of the Day" award. It's a ham, but you gotta come to Seattle to claim it. I aint' shippin' no ham across the country!

I think this "early / random" thing is a disgrace to Cakewalk/Gibson....

"who" decides?  You KNOW it's NOT random....that's ludicrous...

Alienation of "paying customers" isn't a "good business model"
sorry to say....Bad Cakewalk....BAAAAD Cakewalk...

Everyone should be treated "equally" ...not some (barf) 
"random" lottery that decides who get's to upgrade FIRST...

Just my thoughts....


The only thing that is truely random is the invention you hear on the internet... And now some dancing cats... BTW The greys are coming (I too have no evidence to back this up which MUST mean it is true!!!!)

Just installed Sonar Platinum.
 
The download/installation was so much faster/easier than previous versions.  Downloaded and installed in a fraction of the time X3 took.
 
I had to change the default path for my Project Files in Preferences, but everything else seems to have migrated successfully.
 
Just loaded an X3 project to play around with, and everything is behaving well.
 
I will post back when I have had a time to try it out more.
 
Out of interest, I noticed there seem to be more Gibson instruments in the Track Icon folders..
