Bashing one product to promote another is for me the worst thing a instructive video should do. It smacks of Apple which always turned me off in ways that caused resentment towards Apple from me. To do it to your own product seems doubly troubling. I didn't watch the whole thing because I found it silly. Also to me much was setup to be hard when it isn't if you really know Sonar. That part caused me to comment under my breath "why did you do it that way". In fact because it was so biased I found I was routing for X3. This made me stop watching. yes you showed how "nice" the new button is but I may never use it because it seemed meant for those that can't be bothered with learning the program. Its sort the "less than smart button".

(Those were not the words or word I really wanted to use.)

The other comments above that noticed this were a bit more forgiving but you guys are the "experts". Pretending you're not isn't helpful for your credibility.

I hate giving this sort of review for work done by two very nice people. They developed an idea and executed it to the best of their ability. It is well done from that perspective. Its just so inappropriate of a company that has always exhibited pride in all their products.

I didn't really understand the meaning of this video.
Is this a showcase about how fast Platinum is, or how slow X3?
When I do some track insert comparisons with other DAW's then I come to the conclusion that, X3 is slow on that and Platinum reached the level of others.
For example, inserting 100 audio tracks to Studio-One 3.2 is on my PC about 1.5-times faster as with Platinum. So that demonstration of track insert isn't really that Platinum features.
But, I like such videos for entertainment purposes. It's fun.

Soundwise

I liked the second episode a lot. I'll probably start using Aux tracks. Just wish it was possible to combine Folder and Audio tracks functionality and use Aux track as a Folder and vice versa.
