Not piling on the bakers BUT......

Now that I have settled into using X1 as my normal workflow... I am amazed at how many little bugs snuck through the beta testing.

As noted there are some quite big bugs that are near show stoppers for a lot of folks.. lucky for me I am not having to deal with any like that but.....

Everyday, as I work on projects... at least another small bug rears it's ugly head... actually too many to list but I am amazed that I keep finding new ones now after how many months of using this product?

I hope that a ton of these get addessed in X1b so at best, my list of bugs will go away, at least, I can start listing them.

Some of these bugs are just amazing to me. Didn't anybody put X1 through it's paces before releasing this?

I know I will like X1 better than 8.5 (kinda, sorta already do) when most of these bugs become old news.

I agree that some bugs seem so overt and game-stopping that I can't possibly see how they got through beta. For me, X1 is in "danger zone play testing only" quarantine until the next update comes out for sure, which is a little unusual for them.

And I'm also sure that it must be a strange time to be at Cakewalk, with great ideas but some clunky rollout strategies since OCT. I bet there's a great after-work rant-a-thon from the people in the trenches that must be network-pilot worthy.

that said, we're in the boat, the boat is in the water, and they'e sending paddles. Tipping it over while we wait isn't going to get us anywhere. I can't imagine that the hint hasn't been given with the forum activity since release, easily the most confrontational place I've visited daily since Prodigy Online days. Sooooooo, I hope the paddles are really good.

It's a familiar refrain by this point - X1 was released far before its time, and is probably one of the most under-developed pieces of software ever released.  As users, we'll never really know what all the reasons are for this debacle, but it remains a very bizarre moment in Cakewalk's history.  OOoooh if they'd only just fixed the bugs in 8.5 and left it at that.  Instead they somehow got a wild idea to completely re-do the program - and the rest of the story is wreckage - hopefully soon to be fixed.

Beta Test? Read the forum history on X1 ...you may just come to the same conclusion I did..."WE" were the beta testers...and WE PAID FOR IT!!!!!    Isn't that ironic???

Look on the brightside, we may have paid for a beta test but we get X1b for FREE!
