Indeed. For the first year and a half I had nothing good to say about it. But now after several fixes, some mine, some Cakewalks it seems to be running smooth enough to use on an songs that matters. So I'm excited to see what X2 brings to the table.

I don't have a problem with the pricing.. $99 seems fair. However, I'm from Belgium, and we work in €... And $99 isn't 99€... According to xe.com, $99 is about 79€...
Why is this?

If I understand this right is it saying Sonar X1 Studio upgrades for $200 to X2 Producer? I may just do that.

I currently have X1 Producer Expanded.
As far as I can see, I can upgrade to Production Suite for £70, then I'm entitled to X2 upgrade for free? So saving myself £9 and getting Z3ta+2 into the bargain. Or have I read it wrong?

That's how I read it too! More for less ... I guess it depends what the early adopter special offer is!

If you get the free upgrade, you will not be eligible for the yet undisclosed early adopters promotion or the plethora of late adopters specials.

This is one of the things i like about Cakewalk - existing customers are rewarded with a very fair upgrade price. It is too good to refuse.

just noticed I could upgrade from Expanded to Production Suite now for €80, get the PC4K S-Type Expander / Gate ProChannel Module and Z3TA+2, and receive a free updgrade to X2.
Wouldn't I be an early adopter then, adopting to X2 as soon as it's available?
Instead of upgrading for €99, without the PC4K S-Type Expander / Gate ProChannel Module and without Z3TA+2, but with an early adopter special?
erm, Cakewalk?

I was on the fence with the upgrade - but now that I know the upgrade price, I will be taking the plunge.

I guess since the free upgrade to X2 offer runs through to October 31st, I will see what the early adopter offers are before I need to buy. Either way, it's a steal.

Why is this?
All prices on our store are VAT inclusive. So calculate $99 plus add VAT and then convert. You will see the prices are comparable.

And then add VAT do that. This topic comes up from time to time. European customers are required to pay VAT and we include the VAT price in there already.

Yes, this comes up for every round of upgrades. £63 + 20% VAT = £75 And by British VAT regulations you're required to offer a Zero rate to VAT registered businesses on the simple production of VAT reg number on the purchase order. It's not as if it's extra work, the regulations say that on production of a VAT number by the customer you can IGNOR all the VAT processing. You have to do nothing at all. So if I include my VAT Reg Num at checkout can I have my upgrade at £63 please?

Oh good. I said $50 would be great and $100 would be reasonable. I am wondering though... I see some people mentioned getting emails about this. Should I have gotten an email? Hmm... maybe I didn't sign up for the newsletter. Thought I had. Also I'm not sure if maybe I qualify for the free upgrade considering I only bought the Suite in May for $500 (I doubt it though). Anyway I really want to check out that R-Mix thingie madoodle. Will I be able to run both X1 and X2 on the same system with the upgrade? I'm still learning X1 and have a bunch of projects on the go. Nice work Cake. You guys have gotten me worried on occasion but you always seem to come through in the end.

If X2 works like every other Cakewalk DAW product, you will be able to run X2 along side with X1.
If you have never received promotional mail from Cakewalk and want it, go to your store account and signup. If you did signup, check your spam filter.

Thanks, scook. I also found the answer to my free upgrade questions "Starting August 1 through October 31st, when you purchase SONAR X1, you will get SONAR X2 for free once it becomes available." Oh well. $99 ain't bad. Even just the R-Mix looks like it will be worth it.

I guess it depends what the early adopter special offer is!
From cakewalk: "...has yet to be revealed. It will most likely not be an additional monetary discount. ... It could be some sort of additional free download, but you'll get that whether you wait to get X2 or get the Production Suite now..." So, I'll upgrade to Production Suite, to save some pennies ;)

I've done just that - more things to download :) However, I haven't got a serial number for the PC4K S-type channel compressor yet, and the production suite says that it is "out of serial numbers". Not quite sure whether that refers to the compressor or not, as everything else has been given a serial number ...

What is it the upgrade? I try to understand if there is a difference between the upgrade from X1 Producer expanded to X2 and X1 producer to X2. Does the two comes at the same place or is there a difference at the end of the two upgrade?

It does not matter if you upgrade from X1 Producer or X1 Producer Expanded to X2 Producer, you will get the same product. There is no X2 Producer Expanded, the features from X1 Producer Expanded have been incorporated into X2 Producer.

hopefully I can buy a boxed upgrade from my local DV perhaps.. that way someone in the UK gets a cut of the money as well.
does the early adopter etc still apply ?!?!?!
that in itself worries me, if it's something I already have.. and I'd rather not have an offer on say the softube stuff, as I already have stuff that covers that
I've only got 3 dim pro's and 3-4 z3ta's already hehe

Then you should state that in the pricing scheme. I thought it was TTC (including taxes). This comes up with each upgrade. Just sayin'. But i'll still get it ............BTW, i also have a VAT number ! Cheers, Jerry

Hi, just curious where you saw that <...but you'll get that whether you wait to get X2 or get the Production Suite now>? I searched around but didn't see it. It seems like if you're sure you want to upgrade early then it's a no brainer to go the production suite route and essentially get the expander and z3ta+2 synth thrown in basically for $1 more (for US customers, even better for UK). Thx...

So from the post above has anyone else seen this -
""...has yet to be revealed. It will most likely not be an additional monetary discount. ... It could be some sort of additional free download, but you'll get that whether you wait to get X2 or get the Production Suite now..."
for whatever reason the forum search doesn't bring that phrase up at all (doesn't even find this post), and no google reference either (guess the forum isn't indexed). Thx for any info...
