Am just wondering how it's working. Not bothered about fixes or enhancements or anything; I just want to know if anything has been broken.

still holding off ... in the middle of work where i don't want to put my system at risk
 
just reading about (meanwhile confirmed) issues with WAVES plugs resetting made me cautious.
 
@ stevee9c6 
i remember reading you're having problems with x3 download. could you meanwhile install and work on x3 for a while?
 
 

Yeah, same here, I'm not in a rush. I've got two EPs to mix this week, so I'm not changing anything right away.

Well i've just finally managed to download and install it.
Its working fine on my computer.  I upgraded from X2
I don't know if they have done anything to the engine.. but it seems a little faster.

How is the console working? In particular, are the channel strip controls working ok? That's the area that got broken most on the release of both X1 and X2. Later (mostly) fixed in patches.
 
A bit selfish of me this, really. But I'm looking for a report from someone who's sat down and tried to do a full mix using the v700 in X3 before I decide whether to buy it or not.

also interestd to know how the channel strip control behave.
 
Any comment so far?

Here's the response to email I sent.
 
Hello Craig,
Yes, SONAR X3 will work with the V-Studio 700 system in the same way as SONAR X2. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Guys, Is Sonar X3 compatible with the VS700 system?

Well, you know, that's what they said the last two go rounds, too. Don't want to be a jerk about this, but X1 and X2 both broke compatibility horrendously, and it only got back to usable with a patch in both cases. That really happened, it's not like it's something I made up.

Damn it... the download is strating...
 
X2 crashed a newly created project so I can't take no more.... will let you guys know.
 
By the way, anybody is using AMD 990x chipset on a gigabyte board by any chance?

I really want to get X3, I do. I think Sonar the application is generally marvellous, and this looks like an excellent update. But I use the v700 console all day every day, so I need it to work.
