It would be Great if it becomes available during winter NAMM 2015.  I don't really care about New features as much as I do about getting some things fixed.
 
Interesting that I just purchased the Sonar X3 Power book a couple weeks ago...  
Great work as usual Scott!

NAMM would be the perfect place to announce X4 and show it off. Not only would tons of people who might not otherwise see it would get a chance to experience Sonar and it would be reassuring to many of us that there would have been a lot of care in getting rid of bugs because the last thing you want to do is show off your new program to potential consumers and companies only to have it go belly up mid demonstration.

True,  but nothing beats a large group of beta-testers for finding bugs.

I assume the testers Cake uses have been testing X4 for a while now.

Yes, you can always tell - some of the regulars here go into purdah...

Yes, looks like 22nd Jan! Can't wait! Love new software..

I wish Cake would publish a list of fixes available that X4 should bring to the X3 Users. No use keeping it secret now.

I'm not familiar with how Cakewalk handles updates, but once X4 is released is that the end of the road for X3 updates to fix any bugs that are still present?

That is usually the case, updates for the prior version are no more.  It would probably be unreasonable to expect them to maintain 2 separate versions even if it was possible.

9 days to Sonar X4 :P
