What I find truly interesting is that they seem to have killed off Expanded. It looks like one Pro Channel for everyone, and back to 3 versions in the good, better, best format. Thank goodness that nonsense may be coming to an end. And good on them for putting some work into the existing 64 bit plugs.

I'm with you on these thoughts as well...

Some good worthwhile improvements on the way.

Please, please, please none of the quality issues we saw at X1's release and please can we have as many persisting long standing issues as possible squashed for good?

If it's in there lets have it working and not just working but working well.

Thank you.

Wow, just wow! Let's hope the Upgrade cost is about the same or lower so we can all easily link up to their new Matrix system.

Well, well... I was mentioning how it would be nice to be able to add automations to separate tracks, only the other day, here:-

so it looks like my wish came true :^)

Reposting this here: Hmm... looks interesting however I have a few concerns which I'm hoping aren't going to be a problem for me. And this isn't necessarily meant to be griping but I see this being something that will irk me quite a bit.

So I bought the Production Suite at the start of May. I paid full price for it. Shortly after that (like the next month) all the crazy deals came out. Okay, fine. Just my stupid luck I guess. Now there is going to be a full PAID upgrade. Well I've already blown my budget for DAW stuff. It's gone. No more money except for a few necessities that were on my original shopping list.

My concern is... what's gonna happen to a customer like me? Is X1 going to continue to be supported? If so that's fine. The second issue is if I had known there was going to be a whole new version coming out I probably would have waited. I've essentially paid full price for something that will be outdated after only a few months. Is this going to be considered when X2 comes out? I will be very very disappointed if I get shafted here. It'd be different if I happened to get on board with those deals or had any inkling that X1 was at the end of it's life cycle but I based my purchase on the info available at the time.

Again, not trying to gripe here but it would nice to know what, if anything, can be done for someone in my situation.

I saw someone up thread mention that if they JUST purchased X1 the upgrade will be free. Is that factual? By me buying it in May at full price would I be included in this? I have barely started using the software due to the massive learning curve and hardware conflicts that had not been documented. I understand this is how things work out sometimes but it seems I have basically made my purchase at the absolute worst possible time.

Anyway... I hope everyone is having a good day. Cheers.

Just suck it up and belly up to the bar, be happy there's an upgrade version to upgrade to....Compare to Opcode Studio Vision...there's no upgrade available to that !!

An upgrade price from Producer or the Production Suite shouldn't be that much anyhow.

I have a feeling X2 will be out for awhile, so maybe in a year or so you'll change your mind.

In the meantime don't call me a rabid fan bois. You're just annoying me with your name calling.  

No problem, and don't you reply to mine as you have been very annoying the last couple of months. Good Riddance !!

Whole new version coming out after two years, who could´ve thought of that! (not to mention the release cycle used to be one year).
 
Sorry about this but wasn´t it very obvious.

At last Fx chains in Pro channel, thank you.

Cheers

@cake2010... Not to me. I am a brand new user of Cake software so I was merely going by the promo materials. Made sure I got the cream of the crop too. Just looking for some answers.

The answer is that X1 what you have won't stop working because there is a new version out - you don't have  to upgrade. Although it is always annoying when the price drops after you just bought something, I can't imagine that anyone could realistically expect any retail business to say - "don't buy this now, 'cos the price is going down next week"

Wow this looks exciting.  Not a huge fan of automation lanes, I prefer them over the actual wave .  This is awesome that you can do both!  I am very interested to hear the reverb.  If your like me, you can never have enough reverbs.

I wouldn't mind a new delay, something like the Fabfilter delay plug in.  This might get more use than reverb in alot of situations.  Of course, we could probably all name 20 things we "want" included :)

I'm exciting for it.  It's almost unfortunate, I never open my Pro Tools anymore.  I used to prefer some of the included plug ins, but I think X1, and certainly X2 will have them beat in the 'quality plug' department. ( my opinion of course) 

@Beepster I wouldn't worry about it. You are now locked in to affordable upgrades. Look at it that way. Sometimes waiting for the better deal to happen doesn't. That's the way the software market works.

@kitekrazy... Yeah I hear ya. I just want to know the Bakers thoughts on this or the other users. As I said I am new to these products so I'm not sure how it all works and someone did mention the possibility that something might be done for folks like myself. Unfortunately some of the other forum users are taking that as whining or bashing Cake. Very disappointing really because that is NOT what I'm doing. I have nothing to bash them for as I don't even know their stance on the issue yet. Peace.
