Perhaps he's recording a full sized concert orchestra, all close mic'ed?

Maybe a John Cage composition?

Yeah that really worked with the bankers didn't it?
Oh - did you forget? - you pressed the I Agree button when you installed the software.
Just like all good schemes - there's always a way out of the Capitalist fantasty that's never a reality.
Oh well better luck next time....
 
On a serious note you cannot expect all code to work 100% of the time on different systems the way you want it. And legally you cannott expect it either. Dream on and get back to reality :)
 
BTW some military applications are written in JAVA for instance, if some missile accidently bombs the wrong country just because there was a bug in the JAVA programming language Sun Microsystems are not liable because the attacker pressed the I agree button.
 
Also note you don't own the software, you merely have a license to use it.

it comes down to me being a paying customer and customer service. any businessman worth his pennies knows this. If a company doesn't give you what you need, then you find a new one. I have made an investment in cakewalk by purchasing their software. they know that i will buy upgrades, plugins etc, IF they keep me satisfied as a customer. If they do not, then I find a company that will serve me better. 

sure I pressed the I agree button, but it comes down to me buying updates, plugins and telling people what a good company they are.  Or losing that client.  dollars.

CAPITALISM.

I'm not sure what possessed the powers that be to beat a new path through DAW wilderness when the old path worked amazingly well.

I know what it was.

it was the result of User Requests.

A couple of years ago all registered users were asked what the new version should focus on.

the overwhelming responses was a total revamp of the GUI and less focus on new shiny plugins.

Hey here is a suggestion:  How about a full PDF real set of instructions!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the first time I have had to go to the book store and buy a manual for all the nuts and bolts of a fresh bought product.

There is one....

Oh, I do believe I remember such an event.  I asked for greater Midi features.
 
I don't recall many wanting a complete redo of pretty much everything like changing keyboard shortcuts that had been in Sonar since I stated using it...  Surely they could have made a different GUI without totally destroying everything they had developed over the past 4 or 5 versions.  That would my point... Using X1 was like using totally new software, and I've been a Sonar user since version 4. 
 
Further, anyone who knows the basics of computer programming knows you can moreless use the same coding but make it look completely different.  For example, I can make the "paste" function an Apple Graphic in the top left or a Banana Graphic in the bottom right of the screen.  It looks different, but it would function the same.
 
On my system, X1 is far less stable than 8.5.3, and I know I'm not the only one.  Surely, Cakewalk (Roland) made major changes under the hood, not just in the GUI.  That is the annoying part for me. Don't totally change everything we hold dear while making less stable. Some of us make money from our DAW. We don't have time for silly games just trying to get the bloated software to work.  It frankly needs a good laxative.

X1c Expanded is rock solid on this machine.

I'm actually trying the update to X1c from b tonight on my laptop. Since getting it to work on my main tracking computer was an epic failure, I thought i'd give it a spin on my laptop first.  Let's hope it goes well. If not, System Restore shall save the day.. err or night.
 
PS. Nice feet? lol
