Please Don't Call the next Upgrade X2

If you do, I won't go?????

Twigman


No call it
X1D
and make it free

...I vote for this..... thanks Twig.... 

...if only Cakewalk started to feel the "mood" arising  and slowly growing within many long time users..........

...'hope They are getting it........................ 

more like daw 0.8

... and the whiners keep whinging?

Forum users are always a minority in any community, if the issues were so bad the internet's would be aflame!

I'm not fussed on what they call the next version but an X1D would be great.

can't we at least get our apostrophes right?

And the fanboi's keep fibbing ...

Uh, so forums aren't part of the internet? Ok ... LOL.

...yeah... kinda fun.... really......... 


...No... dear mattox82, you are hugely wrong........

...as it appears quite clear, by now, that too many users, after a physiologic early time of euphoria brought by the apparent innovation, are EVENTUALLY widely complaining and  stating their dissatisfaction with X1, especially, but not only, far as the workflow and customization aspects...... 

...no fanboy or simply enthusiast (those few remaining...) can change the tide of the spreading uprising.... 

...and this forum is the natural, proper place to get the right mood.........

...sure, in the beginning there were people in the rush and happiness to try the new toy.... and so those first impressions and reviews were somehow unwillingly conditioned... ...However, I think fairest considerations can be better made after EXTENSIVE use and comparisons of a deep product...    

...thus, if you look around now, in fact you'll see that complaints are increasing relentlessly.... and it's indicative of the fact that the early, too early, enthusiasm is now waned, and many are finally missing what once were the real SONAR strenghts.... 



...Cakewalk should seriously consider that....

...thus, if you look around now, in fact you'll see that complaints are increasing relentlessly....

 
Hmmm... I really don't think that's true at all.   From what I've seen there's been a core group complaining about X1 for quite a while now, and not all that many in the way of newcomers to the cause.   At least that's the way it seems to me.
 
Not that I'm dissing anyone's complaints mind you, I think many are perfectly valid.  I'd personally like some additional customization options so I can change the Control Bar around to actually fit my screen and do some color tweaking.  Oh, and I'd also like to see all envelopes at one time, using their regular colors.  
 

Hi, stevec....

...seek and you will find...  
...the way it seems to me, and I've been involved in many of those "threads", instead, is that an increasing number of disappointed users, both long time ones and newcomers, are gradually regaining their sight through the mist that X1 carried with itself, eventually finding out its lacks and uncomfortable changes... 
...Many blokes are now making themselves heard louder and louder... often recalling things like "I miss the way that feature was done in 8.5..."....
...on the contrary, few only, very few indeed, are still willing to find their joy in X1......

...I honestly believe it's more than impression...


...anyway... those customization options you recall (think about the X1's Control Bar's uselessness... worst, unbelievable, odd Cakewalk's choice of all times...) are asked for in every post and so LOUD around here... 

...so, whatever next X.? will be called, let's hope they actually got the customization issue, at least...........   


Regards.

Still using and loving X1 Producer here. (Just upgraded to X1C).

Ah come on. The people who are complaining now are overwhelmingly the people who started complaining as soon as the thing was released. In a couple of cases, the grousing started pre-release. I think you'd struggle to find people who liked it up until recently and have changed their minds. Can you name any?

I can't read in minds... but I can read the posts...

...and tell that MORE and more - too many - users are frequently asking for urgent fixing of X1's ridiculous oddities and some of its "new" ideas......... 

..on the other hand, it's quite easy to count the enthusiasts, as they are really few left....  say... just THREE, at most, and you know who you are, mates...




...anyway, it doesn't matter at all, in the end... 
...the real point being we should ALL want SONAR to be the DAW that used to stand out from the crowd, and thus it needs serious urgent fixes...

...and I can't really help it.... that ugly Control Bar is actually the WORSE solution ever seen in any DAW.... it needs to be redone....   


EDIT:
...btw, you honestly gave a good possible solution for it in a specific thread... http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2378786
...let's hope for X.?..............   

So... you can't name any?

I was kind of hoping the new version of X1 would be called 8.5.4 with a redesigned interface that worked just like 8.5.3.

"Y" seems to be the next logical choice.

(So it will probably be something like "Ping 2.9" or something.)
