I'm curious to know what will be included for those (apparently few) of us using Studio.  I really hope that Replace Synth is included.  I've desired that ever since I started using Sonar.

I also wonder if SonarPlus will work with X2, or better yet, if SonarPlus's functions will be a part of X2 so that those of us who don't like MultiDock can bypass it.  I know that the gentleman who gave us SonarPlus is now working for Cakewalk, so there's hope.

What's the difference b/w a take lane and a layer? Anyone know?

I think they are one and the same and the poster simply used jargon from another product.

"Take Lanes" is a new X2 term...

Thanks. I missed that and saw it this evening.  I wonder what it's about now.

It's a vicious cycle

Automation lanes are an option in SONAR X2. You can still use X1 style automation as you always have. In SONAR X2 you have the choice of using automation on top of clips (using Edit Filter) or using automation lanes. You can change at will at any time.

 
Nice.
 

I've got my fingers crossed for a pop up over the ghosted data, that'll keep me happy.

BIG time!

Well, the new audio engine is 64 bit 

384 Khz...but it still doesn't seem to be gapless..

It says...addresses gapping in common operations..

Anyone have a 384 capable interface?

Does anyone know if Cakewalk is going to come to their senses and return the phase and stereo interleave buttons BACK to each individual track?  I purchased that abortion known as X1 and haven't used it once, the minute I realized that Cakewalk crippled it by removing them.  If I could have gotten my money back, I would have.  

I've stayed at 8.5.  Hopefully Cake will start focusing on professionals again.  


Although I've managed to talk 3 people out of buying X1 by showing them X1 and how it's been crippled since 8.5 so I'm happy about that!  If I couldn't get my money back for X1, at least I took 3 sales away from cakewalk.

this is just silly,have you thought about you may have very well also robbed 3 users out of owning a very good software that runs good forthem?
just cause you have issues with it doesnt mean everyone else will.
all of us that report smooth sailing are not just making it up.
thats selfish and childish.you should be ashamed of yourself.

Charlie I missed that post. I am a bit dumbfounded by the nature of it. 

To brag on the CW forum that he turned away 3 customers is downright insane especially since the items were not removed just move to a better place. How idiotic. 

It shows ignorance of the product and a very bad attitude toward it and CW. 

I don't often find myself wondering about the motives of posters but here one has to wonder. 

I have said too many times RTFM. If he had done so think of the difference that would have made.

I'm kind of puzzled by that post as well. 

As for X2 I like what seems to be coming up here...

Think I found it...zozilla? Done!

Okay... after slapping my guit around for I while I have bled a bit of the poison from my soul and can think a little more clearly. If I still have access to Cake support... cool. That's what was freaking me out the most. I do actually like to let hi tech products sink in for a bit too to make sure I'm not fixing something that ain't broke only to have it break and I'm still bumbling my way around learning the Sonar way so I don't mind sitting on what I have and in fact prefer it which is why I was hoping X1 would stick around for a while longer. Doesn't matter. It works and if something screws up the boys will be there for me. Perfect. As far as X2 I guess if there was a $50 upgrade for me that would be acceptable. If it is a $100... meh... okay I guess. Any more than that I think it might leave a bit of a bitter taste but whatever. That's life. I have very much been enjoying X1 so far so don't take me as a kvetcher but I am pretty... uh "thrifty" because I don't have any other choice. I literally starved myself to get this set up bought and running. There just isn't any more to give. Knowaddimean? Cheers guys and thanks for the answers. I feel better now.

Stick around a bit longer? LOL I have been using it for nearly 2 years now. In DAW years that is 2 lifetimes.  At least with CW. 


I've gone through X1 a, b, c, and d than Expanded. I am ready for a full new version. 


I do agree with your new view. Take your time and see how it all comes out. 


Me, I will jump on it as soon as I can. 

insane especially since the items were not removed just move to a better place. How idiotic. 

No they were not moved to a better place.  Before this change you didn't even need the inspector, saving lots of valuable screen real estate.  So now my I key is wore out turning the inspector on and off.  :)

...Again you get punished for buying sooner rather than later. Shouldn't it be free for all users prior to a certain date not after? More money for something that the PC gives for free. X1 users are still at a disadvantage for expanding the company.

It seems to me that a lot of the new features are things already in expanded.

I was using Avast until a few days ago but before that I had Kapursky didn't seem to make a difference I have had em all and they have all more or less given me problems. As far as Asio-latency I cannot open Sonar without getting a BSOD so sending screen shots would not work. Its currently not even installed because I got so frusterated. I think I may have bad ram though because when I get the BSOD its usually a Cache_manager warning but again this only happens in Sonar no issues running Live or Reason or Cubase LE.  

Free anti-virus?  meh!  :-) there is some OK free anti-spyware.. ( spybot, adaware se, malwarebytes ) but free anti-virus has always given me a headache.

BSOD?  Really, every time you open up Sonar?  If that is really the case, than its got to be affecting your other software, whether or not you have seen the effect.

I'm not a computer pro by any stretch of the imagination, but I am totally curious now..  so..  um..  What's your computer make, and model, when did you buy it, and where?  How much ram was in the machine when you bought it, and who installed the extra ram?  What type of ram, and what brand?  You are using windows 7 home premium, 64 bit?  besides the ignition key, that is in the Reason balance what are your other dongles, and types of copy protect?  what are your monitors?  will reason balance work with Asio4All?  When was the last time you did a system backup and restore?  Have you thought about re-installing windows?

I have not had a BSOD on Windows 7.  The last time I saw a BSOD on windows was in 2007, just before I switched to Mac, and had a pentium 4 that was several years old..  Since returning to Windows, and these new cheap modern multi-core machines...  no BSOD's.. yet..  knock on wood...
cheers

That is my laptop 8 gigs of ram stock never needed to upgrade. bought it in February I have reinstalled windows and the problems never really changed I did since that post do a cache update that Samsung released recently and now Sonar at least opens and runs ok but the vst scanner crashes everytime I try to use it. No other dongles I try to keep my setup dongle free but I love Reason and its my favorite music making program (sorry Cakewalk) so the ignition key was worth dealing with for me. No other copy protection other than the software e licenser on my system for a few arturia synths I am demoing. Balance works with Asio4all but its own drivers are much better. I did a system back up and restore about a month ago maybe 2 months. That avast was a headache to get rid of though had to contact their support to do a clean uninstall Cakewalk tech support said that any anti virus will screw up Sonar. I couldn't install it completely at one point but since doing that update i was able to at least get a successful install of X1a and I am currently downloading B C and D so I can be on the latest update and maybe even ditch my issues with the vst scanner which is a new issue that usually does not happen in Sonar. But since updating my Cache deal from Samsung I have had no problems with Sonar besides the vst scanner *knock on wood* if I can get Sonar working as advertised 85-95% of the time (i am a 10 year reason owner I am spoiled by stability) I will preorder X2 Producer just to show I have no ill feelings towards Cakewalk though I know release updates are buggier than an ant farm
