I am drooling!

I tried using VocalSync on some Guitar DI tracks panned hard left/right. I was able to tighten up the performance, matching them together. I looped the section and adjusted VocalSync while playing without any problems.

I saved several mix scenes, some with different plugins, pans, and levels. I was able to switch between mix scenes while SONAR plays. It takes a brief moment for the new mix to kick in, but after that SONAR keeps on playing nicely.

The convolution reverb sounds fantastic!

OK... will activate invite NOW!!!  And am cancelling my sleep this evening...

Hey Cakewalk Guys -
You forgot to invite me to the PaRtY!!!!!!  I have a session tomorrow at 1:00 pm eastern standard time and I could put it through it's paces :-)
 

The videos on Cake's Youtube channel are stunning.  Well made and after watching them and grumbling about their newest direction.... well...as Spock would say; "it doesn't seem logical".

Still on X1 here .... i boughth X3 but didn't found it as snappy as X1 .... but i must confess i 'm as excited as i was when cake did the 8.5 X1 jump .... the new Cake Update Plan (CUP) is fair imho , and the roll back faeture if it works is a God send ...
 
does it do a deep rescan or just keep using the cakewalk plugin list in the registry from prevous insatll (windows registry) 
 
Thks guyz

On install it did a complete scan. I checked the registry, it appears the new SONAR maintains a VST inventory separate from the old versions.

So far for me Sonar Platinum is definitely more snappy.
I had a fairly large project from X3 that I opened in Platinum and it just plays smoother.
An example is that in X3 when I pushed play it would actually hesitate for a second or two.
Not any more.
 
Two or three quick notes then I am going back "under the hood" so to speak.
1) The colors in the console and track view appear to be more vivid. And I have less graphic glitches when selecting between console, Addictive Drums, Piano Roll, Step Sequencer etc.
2) The new piano roll is gonna be awesome........hard to explain at this point.
3) The Console is just awesome with the new stacked FX and more Sends visible.
4) Mix Recall, are you kidding me? This is totally incredible. Still trying to completely get this one in my head. But this will be very useful to us all.
 
Thanks Cake for the early invite!!!!!

Any new color options?
