I would encourage no one to submit bug reports. We're not paid to do so. Sonar is a for-profit product. It is to their benefit, as a company, to shift workload to those who would perform services for free.

My time is money. My time is my own and not available to Cakewalk for free.

Cakewalk needs to take on the responsibility to cull bug reports from conversations held in these forums, and for heaven's sake - to test their products in a more fullsome manner prior to release. They need to stop placing onus for bug reporting on their unpaid customers. It's unprofessional and annoying. They built the product. They need to test what they built. No excuses. Full stop.

With this X1 debacle, I'll tell you one thing ... when the next paid update comes out, I will wait until a stable release presents itself. Until then, no money.

no ones time is that valuable. The fact you have the time to write such nonsense is proof of that. 

No, you do not have adequate info to serve as proof of your statement.

Which, technically speaking, makes your outburst nonsensical.

"It's like you notice a problem with the engine on your new car but don't want to take it in to get looked at because there shouldn't have been a problem in the first place.   Well that's your choice, but when your car stays broken it's your own fault."

In this specific case we are only "renting" the software... and it is only supported by the manufacturer for a year or maybe a bit less.

How much time will you spend servicing a rental car?

Sorry if my grammar was not the best. I thought I made a valid point just the same. No one has to agree with it but its the way I see it.

As to the poster my post was about and how often he has posted it could be seen as one reason we still have so many bugs. Not enough posts.

Together we can have a big impact on the direction CW takes. We have seen this in the past. MIDI tools in Sonar7 or 8 for example. Or we can ring our hands and be upset or we can give valuable feedback that the CW people can use to make the product better. One reason I don't find Mike's posts all that bad.

The one thing I found repugnant in the Burkek post was the admonishment to not participate in any form to help us all get a better DAW.

I am not too sure why one would object to that point when one is on here all the time with criticism of X1 as Mike is.  It seems contradictory to me. 

Or is it just simple bitterness?
