X2 after quik fixe : Verdict ?

just wanted to know you guyz inputs after the quik fix ...X2 still not yet installed here ......

I wasn't having any problems before I installed it and now I'm still not having any problems.

X2 is running like a champ !!

So far I haven't noticed any real changes.  Mostly stable with occasional quirky stuff.

Zo, stop yer faffing and get X2 installed :-P

lol guyz ...

Jumpy console ? ( can you elaborate ?)

the thing is that i'm on SSD and each GB is priceless and so X2 mean 8.5 out !!!! and so id on't want to screww things for nothing (uninastllling a previous sonar install is like when my wife come and say "we need to talk " !!! lol) 

so x2 is as ok as x1 or not yet ?

except on new plugins ....on the core app ....is it ok ?

  Zo, I too am still on the fence about purchasing X2. I mean it won't improve my engineering capabilities any better. I guess I am waiting to hear a stable testimony from the die hard fan of X2. Peace

Jesse, slightly different environment between you and Zo.  It seems like he is currently using 8.5, while you are using X1D.

For him, he would get a much more substantial set of benefits than you would, including - for him:

1.  Complete redesign of the user interface
2.  I believe there is a newer version of Rapture, as well 1.2.2 I think
3.  Pro-Channel (BIG-TIME nice thing to have)
4.  Automation Lanes
5.  Saturation Knob
6.  New effects and amp modeler
7.  Side-Chaining
8.  A BUNCH of little improvements, and a bunch of internal improvements
9.  Screen Sets
10.  Improved 'Preferences' section

I had X1 and just switched to X2.  I find X2 to be quite comfortable, stable, and worth the upgrade.  The audio engine improvements alone are worth the upgrade, and the Automation Lanes are too.

As I suggested, since both X1 and X2, (or for him 8.5 and x2) can live quite nicely on the same computer, I would recommend to BOTH of you that you download the trial and test it all out.

Really - give it a try,

Thank You Bob... Another fatal error. Click and make a selection on a folder track and X2 crashes...

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63155662/System.pdf Ignore the win XP partion anymore used. As you see, almost everytime I click on Pro channel (or sometimes on any other widget and so on...) audio drops. Note that if I open 4 sessions of Omnisphere and I browse, select presets, play, Sonar goes flawlessly. I tried with all possible values of buffer size without improvement. I'm waiting for a new graphic card 2GB instead of gt9400. I tried a total re-installation of X2 but with no success. I also tried asio4all instead of my konnekt48 drivers: no success. What else can I do?

Guyz ...i'm not using 8.5 ....lol my bad if i've not been clear ...i use X1 , have still 8.5 installed and i already have X 2 but not installed ...;)

That's my small dilemma - Cake states on the download page that if you're not having problems, no need to install. I chose to not install. But that goes against what I normally would do.

I've been following the X2 stuff and my impression is that the Pro Channel is still the main culprit. I could be completely wrong so please correct me. The issues with displaying PC modules seems to need a permanent fix but I'm unaware of anything else that big. The Pro Channel seems to be the backbone in Producer so I use it as my barometer in Xn stability.

Is anyone summarizing the bugs and fixes with X2? 

Before quickfix 308 I had one crash while adjusting settings in pro channel on the master bus. After installing the patch its been smooth sailing here.

I used to drop in on this forum for years before I actually became a serious Cake user. I have seen less negativity with the release of X2 than any other upgrade of a Cake version.. I don't know if anyone else has noticed that. I know this forum went crazy when they released X1! Sometimes it was just brutal some of the posts that were on here. This release, even with some of the install issues,seems to be a very positive one. I know other than the Rapture install issue, so far, this has been the most seamless upgrade so far for me. 

Sidroe,
As you can see I have a bit more of 100 posts in this forum. I'm using Cakewalk begining from CW 6. I'm absolutely "not negative" and I think that Sonar concept is the best for me. I'm only facing the problem I described and I have to complete a mixing session (!!!). This is the only place where I should find an idea to get out from this situation. Really I'm not negative and I love the work done by Cakewalk crew.
