edit: the image has been confirmed as an accidentally included old rendering by cakewalk which is why my initial post and the blogpost were removed. I have since been asked to remove the screenshot and am happily complying.

It's not like it revealed very much, but if Cakewalk don't want the image public, I'll respect their wishes.
 
I'm more interested in when Craig is releasing the next installment of his story.

they dont want to fuel speculation that X4 is actually coming out this year.



The screenshot didn't have a release date next to it. What we saw could be an old alpha or something so to speculate (like I did) would be wrong. It might have completely changed since that screenshot...
 
And yes the screenshot wasn't much to get excited about... (the golden master of X4 I'm sure will be).
I'm happy for Cakewalk to delete posts that are against their future commercial interests whether I agree with it or not... As long as they aren't my posts LOL :).

thats a slippery slope! next thing you know negative experiences are being quietly vanished and pretty soon Craig is the only person allowed to post here :). besides, there is nothing they have to protect themselves from aside, aside from US

Well that hasn't happened to me yet, Cakewalk has never censored my posts. All I'm concerned about right now is X3. As nobody is using X4 right now discussion about it (whatever "it" is) is merely of interest and deleting posts about it effects nobody, it may however increase the excitement levels. Nothing like a good leak to keep us on our toes :).

I'm more interested in when Craig is releasing the next installment of his story.



I warned you about encouraging me...but you didn't listen...
 
General Bowman was seething. "Rossa, explain this one to me. A leak! Tara was supposed to keep a lid on this. What is wrong with you people? Dammit, I need to know the truth about Project X4! I already said that in the last installment!!"
 
Rossa took another drag on his cigarette. "That was no leak, Bowman. It won't do Dr. Psycho any good because it doesn't reveal anything about the real Project X4 or the hovercraft. Give a bunch of grays Photoshop, and they spend their afternoons doing mockups. Well, that and eating worms. I still haven't figured out why they like worms so much."
 
Bowman calmed down a bit. "Rossa, how many people know it wasn't real?"
 
"Only a few people on the Sonar forums."
 
"So as far as you know, Dr. Psycho thinks it's real? Are you aware I minored in Disinformation in Spy School? There must be a way we can turn this to our advantage..." Rossa added "Unfortunately, though, the part with the phony Avid logo was cropped off. That would have been so much more effective."
 
"True," said Bowman. "But there are other possibilities...by the way, did you ever notice that 'Gonzalez' and 'Gray' start with the same letter? Just sayin'..."
 
*   *   *   *
 
Doctor Psycho heard the sound of a distinctive ringtone. "Ah, Meester Munnisss, too? How very fortunate! A complete collection! A 'Cakewalk bundle,' as it were - hahahahaha! Excellent work, Justin. Bring him here."
 
Munnis was not in good shape. Apparently Psycho's boys enjoyed their job just a little too much. But Dr. Psycho's arrogance didn't let him realize that putting Tara, Gonzalez, and Munnis in the same room at the same time may not have been a well-thought out move...
 
"And now, bakerssss, it's time for the USB stick that is rightfully mine. First I will kill this rabbit, and then each one of you, slowly and painfully, until the stick is in my hands. And let me remind you that you have only 6 minutes left before the complete destruction of Cakewalk headquarters. Jason, hand me the rabbit."
 
Tara shouted, "Not the rabbit!!!!" [sobbing, looking dejected] "Okay...you win. I have the USB stick." Tara reached into her designer underwear with its pouch for thumb drives, and pulled out an orange USB stick with "V-Studio" written on it. "Here, take it. Go transmogrify your 64-bit flux capacitor, you fiend. But let my friends go!"
 
"Who said anything about letting them go, hahahahaha!" Psycho put the USB stick into his computer. "Now tell me the filename, and I might consider letting you go."
 
"The file is encoded in the 64-bit version of Sonar X3," Tara said. "Boot the program." 
 
Psycho laughed. "You cooperation is duly noted. You, Meester Gonzalez...not so much" as Jason gave Gonzalez another punch in the gut. "Now what?"
 
Tara said "Load Dreamstation DXi. We called it that to throw people off the trail. Then once you load V-Vocal, the two will assemble into the file."
 
Psycho loaded them, and then...the screen flickered white, and a little spinning blue circle started chasing its tail. "The program is not responding" was followed by a deafening roar as the computer drive bay exploded, billowing smoke and shooting flames out of the Blu-Ray drive. Psycho's guards were dazed. Justin's clothes had caught fire..."one less ***** *** ** **** *** ** ****** ********* to worry about," thought Munnis. Sirens from the smoke detector were going off. Thinking quickly, Gonzalez reached for the Les Paul Traditional and put Jason out of commission in short order. "Guess I'm glad it wasn't a semi-hollowbody after all," he mused.
 
Meanwhile, in the confusion Tara had pinned Dr. Psycho to the ground. Although frankly he didn't seem to mind all that much, Munnis quickly pulled out his two lucky rabbit's feet and shoved them up Psycho's nostrils. As he gasped for air, Tara took off her jacket and rammed it down Psycho's throat, then Munnis held his jaw shut. Psycho shuddered, squirmed, gasped vainly for air, and then...nothing.
 
"C'mon, Gonzalez yelled. "We gotta go...I've seen every James Bond movie, and they always end with things blowing up all over the place and Bond running out just the nick of time." 
 
"But the transmogrifying flux capacitor," Munnis screamed. We have less than a minute to disable it!!" Tara ran to the computer to try and shut it down. "Oh no!! Windows is updating!!! It says 'Don't turn off your computer,' and it's on update #003 of #12,657!! We'll never be able to shut it down in time!!!!"
 
Gonzalez and Munnis stared helpless at the screen. Should they run? Let Cakewalk headquarters be destroyed? Go down with the ship?
 
"Hold on!" Munnis yelled. "Look!"
 
"Windows has encountered a fatal error due an unexpected hardware or software component, and is shutting down to prevent possible system damage. Please inform your administrator. Thank you and have a nice day. Updating stopped at update 007."
 
Tara couldn't believe their good fortune. "Thank God for Windows Update...now let's get the hell out of here!"
 
*   *   *   *
 
Back at Cakewalk headquarters, another gray was munching on worms and about to open Photoshop. Rossa sighed, and thought to himself, "This is going to be a long, long day..." He took another drag, and vowed to himself he'd give up smoking. Tomorrow.

This is all sounding very much like when some forum members posts were deleted last year for showing another site's X3 adverts that were supposedly innacurate but bore a very close (read exact) resemblence to what was released very shortly afterwards. It could hardly be classed a surprising for CW to release a new version in the 4th qtr of the year, so the applying of pressure to forum members to remove speculative posts or the deletion of them by CW seems to serve only to increase the likelihood that it's true and someone has let the cat out of the bag before they should have. Would it not serve them better to just ignore the speculation if that indeed is all it is ?
