SONAR X1c - New Bus Features

Plus X1 now high lights the buss selected.

The C patch did add some very needed stuff.

I agree, it's these types of features that make the product more engineering centric. I think this is a positive direction and I would like to see more of these advanced type capabilities similar to Protools to take the product into a more professional realm.

Is it really necessary to counter every positive post with a negative one Bub? +1

I'm glad you like it Sylvan, and it does sound like a nice new feature, but they really need to get on the ball and fix what's there rather than waste resources on adding new features.

Bub.

It really is a shame that X1 have been a pain for you. I know it doesn't help much for us to know it works great for me, or that it doesn't work for you. But I promise if I lived near, I would help you trouble shoot this all day. I have always been fortunate with cake's programs. They have all worked since V3 - I wish nothing but the best for you to get this fixed.


With that said, I do agree with John, a positive experience with X1 by a poster usually has one of these other direction posts...

Well said David, Bub seems like a nice guy but I've noticed that he won't allow someone to say they're having a good experience with X1 because he's really on the offensive. Of course he can respond to any post he wants to as long as he's respectful but the OP and subsequent responders without an agenda are the ones who suffer not Roland. I hope the fixes come, but wouldn't it be simpler to get new software if you're that displeased? Give us a break bro, we're not all unhappy with X1.

Guys, please, don't have a melt down here. It was just my opinion. If you don't like, just ignore it.

Why don't you all focus on the part of the statement where I said I was glad he liked it and it was a nice feature? Hmm?

Hi Bub, I'm not having a meltdown ..I'm actually quite calm and as I said, you seem like a nice guy, and I meant it ..but you DON'T want us to focus on anything else but the issues regarding the bugs you've reported and in all fairness to you have been confirmed with Cakewalk. You have every right to make your dissatisfaction known but I've been noticing your posts about these issues on many, many threads, and trust me brother I usually just read, not post, pro or con. I stand by your rights Bub to comment but it's hard not to notice that your agenda takes priority over anyone else positive post. 
By the way, Love "Bub's Rap"!!

Because its annoying Bub. I feel for you, I do. But it takes the thread off topic and just makes me get a bit angry. I don't mean it to but it does when it happens all the time. Instead of discussing this neat feature we are all discussing your post. Is that fair to the forum or the OP?
Someone finds a feature they like and instead of talking about it we are talking about your post.

Its like coming to a party and ruining it and then saying please carry on. Its too late now.  The magic is gone.

Bub.

For arguments sake, there were over 120 bugs fixed in X1c (some old, some new) and over 25 UI fixes/enhancements. Sometimes when the guys are "already under the hood" they can go in a do things that some might call "features" (it's a fine line between a feature and a fix).

So I don't think it's fair at all to say Cakewalk was "wasting resources on adding new features" rather than being "on the ball" and fixing the current program, but that's just my opinion.

Anyway let's talk about this selection function- nice huh? Should be useful to identify what's going on in a complex mix with complex routings.

Yes, I think it will be incredibly useful and a big time saver when you need to find out where the reverb on the guitar is coming from.

The highlight feature really helps me keep track of what bus I selected and that  saves me a lot of time when if I'm activating the polarity switch in the inspector.

Apparently I can't get the Alt+click to do anything.

It doesn't hi-light a thing except the track but no buses. Does this only work in new projects?

Especially helpful since I *never* put reverb on guitar.
(or do I?)

Is it really Bub to necessary every positive counter with a negative -1 post?

(sorry I was little drunk at the time)

Like the beard?

Very mountain manly.

Come on guys, Bub's from Jersey.  Actually, he's a pretty nice guy for being from there.  He wouldn't be the same guy if he had a laid-back California attitude.

True, he could be much worse. Thank God he didn't end up like me.....a non-tolerant, always looking for a reason to put someone in their place, Richard Cranium. :) Depends where ya come from in NJ though. LOL! :)
 
You know it's funny, I was going to ask what all this stuff with the busses meant. I was reading about it and it just didn't make sense to me. I was ready to post something...and you guys cleared it up for me, thanks! This is a really killer option.
 
Hey Brandon...if you're still watching this thread....I'm just curious, do you think it will ever be possible to freeze a bus? That sure would be pretty cool. What types of issues would there be to try and implement something like that?

That's the great misconception about NJ. The people who are born and raised there are actually very friendly. Friendlier than the folks I've met here in the heartland to be honest.

We get a bad rap in NJ from all the transplants from North/North East of our state.

Just sitting here thinking ... I can't believe this thread has been so derailed all because of the hatred for me.

You guys ****ing rock!

No hatred from me towards you man. :) I was just saying...you're rather mild compared to my lunatic @ss. :) I blame that on my Philly upbringing though...so it's not entirely NJ's fault. LOL! Then again, I've gotten into more confrontations since I moved here than all the ones combined in Philly. So maybe I CAN blame Jersey. Hahaha!
