I'm in the same boat, however, I'm a musician, not a studio owner.

I wouldn't expect to hear any details on X1b prior to it's release, however, Seth did mention in a thread that there are "fixes" and "enhancements".

Personally, I'm at 8.5.3 and have not yet upgraded to X1, and will not, until I hear how things are in X1b.

In my mind, X1 doesn't exist for me until after X1b is released late Feb, or early March.

If I ran a studio and was running 8.5.3, I would have planned on waiting 4 - 6 months after X1 became stable before employing it to make a living.  I don't mean any disrespect, but I've read comments by other serious studio people using all different DAWs including Sonar, PT, Logic, Cubase, etc. who rarely jump on the latest upgrade of whatever software they are using until they have down time, and they are comfortable that the new release is stable.

MHO.

Many got caught up in the hype (myself included) of the next big improved thing wanting to be the first to have it and using it.  We should have learned from experience not just from X1 - but with many of the musical tools that we use...

CAn you add making copy/paste more straight forward with less steps?

Not trying to get this thread OT but I've seen you comment before on cut/copy/paste and this is a genuine question. What do you find complicated about it? I simply highlight the area/clip(s) I want, cut/copy and then put the now time where I want it and paste. It works everytime for me.

If it were that simple I wouldn't be mentioning it.

I've been through this many times an other users have confirmed it. When you become a Sonar developer, I'll bother going through it again with you.

10Ten,

I'm sure FBB is asking questions to see if the issue/s can be reproduced or if he or any of us can relate to your sharing that you're discontent with the copy/paste implementation in SONAR. I haven't seen any others post about copy/paste issues or express discontentment with SONAR's implementation of those features. Maybe they have and maybe you mentioned the details about your copy and paste issues or discontentment with it's functionality, but I haven't seen it except a long time ago, and I don't remember what exactly was your disapproval about it. You can, at least, direct us to the posts in which you say you went through this many times, otherwise, what's the point in posting here about the issues?

If you only want to share these issues with SONAR developers, the forum is not the place to do it, as it's not an official tech support platform and Cakewalk has mentioned in the forum TOS for users not to expect replies from them through the forum. Which make your attitude of not wanting to share this with forum members nonsensible, and makes it relevant to even speak of these things on the forum.

On the other hand, the more you make your issues known to us forum users and we are able to reproduce any issues or relate to any discontentment you have, we can also submit bug reports or feature requests along with yourself, through official means, and, thereby, be a louder voice to have these concerns addressed by Cakewalk.

Please, go litely, man, we're just trying to help? :)

All in all, I'm reasoanbly happy with the copy and paste except for one thing.   When you hit paste, a window shoudn't pop up.   Instead, it should just paste.   If you want something besides a normal paste, then you should use a paste special (ala excel etc).

Of course maybe most other people use all the fancy pasting, and so it makes sense for them.   but for me, I just want it to paste 99% of the time.

But isn't that the purpose of the dialog window? So you can chose between a simple paste or a "special paste"?
I'm not trying to be a smart a*s, just trying to figure out if the dissatisfaction is with the function or the implementation of the function.
If it's the latter, well, they have to draw the line somewhere. They could allow us to make a choice of how we set it up, but at what point does customization cause such bloating that the whole thing becomes a nightmare just to set up?
Again, not trying to jerk anyone's chain, just trying to get my head around some of these issues.

rscain


Again, not trying to be difficult, but what other steps are required? I choose the clip, copy it, go to where I want it, and paste it. By other steps do you mean making the choices in the dialouge window between "paste" and "special paste"?
I'm asking because I kinda miss just hitting control-C then control-V instead of clicking the mouse, but the added option of "special paste" makes up for that so I consider it a wash. I gave up one function I was used to and used quite a bit for one that I think, in the long run, will make things easier for me.
Of course, that's just my opinion and yours is just as valid as it pertains to the way you work. That's why I'm asking.

cally, I want to select a clip, hit control-C, hit a spot on the TV or time line and hit control-v. Then go to another clip and do the same thing and before you say that's how it works, it doesn't.

 Thats the way it works on this pc.

No, it doesn't work that way anymore.

Ok I tried to copy and paste using the Cntrl C/Cntrl V method, and I have to report that in my experience using this method, it doesn't work consistently all the time.

I tried it ten times and it worked every time. I don't think 10Ten's attitude warrants anymore testing from me. <g>

It would hurt my feelings more if I had actually asked for your help.
