Cakewatch will help finish songs, but it wipes out the intros to do that - something about keeping balance in the universe.
 
It's sort of like taking hair from our ears to cover a bald spot on top, or however that is done...

Sounds promising, I dunno about anyone else but I absolutely dont need x4, however I am pretty sure I will own it on release day :D

Yeh, that's a "who cried at the end of Old Yeller" deal. I don't want to raise my hand but.....

I need a Cakewatch. Mmmmmm, hovercraft.

'Hover car' not 'hover craft'.. A car that flies. Alien greys do need to get from A to B. If they are developing a 'hover craft' it better be mac compatible... Humph....Off to feature requests forum...!

Just to clear up any possible confusion, X4 has the Hovercar feature. Cakewatch has the Hovercraft feature.

... Ha ha I like "Cakewatch" though. Maybe Cakewatch will help me finish uncompleted songs.

...and ON Time too!

No one said anything about CakeWatch keeping accurate time, it may have been designed by a drummer...

Keep in mind, X3 was seen at Sweetwater online before its release, and we just took it as prep. It was nice to see, but hey. I just view that as a much more sophisticated way to drop hints (if that were the intent) than Apple's horribly failed attempt to have us believe one of their people left an unreleased iPhone prototype in a bar...
 
I look at the way things are going with CW differently than we did when X2b was released. We saw that, then, for months and months, nothing. I still have a bad taste in my mouth of how X2 was abandoned, IMO, but I can honestly say, when the next version comes out, we'll get it, and run its course the way we did with X3. For CW, the updates and communications were far better.
 
And when the Apple acquisition is complete, we can take their lead and leave a sealed boxed copy of X6 at the BlueBird Cafe', or on a background table in the next season of Nashville (or have a copy running in the background at the studio the Nashville actors are tracking). HMMM.....

Everything is on hold until Gibson's acquisition of Apple is complete. When that happens, Sonar will become cross-platform and renamed Songic Pro X4. There will also be an iPad version, and a new product called Cakewatch which is a combination fitness trainer, metronome, and hovercraft.
 

 
I actually got all the way to the third sentence before I was like "wait a sec..."

As you all know by now, Sonar X4 came out on September 23, and was sold in a limited edition bundle with a free HP laptop sporting a custom sunburst finish. However that was a special that lasted for only a week, so we're now back to X3.
