I respect your opinion on it. However I disagree. At first I thought the same thing. I found myself wanting to revert back to 8.5 because I knew the older versions very well. However the X Series grew on me, and I now believe my work flow has definitely improved as well mixing, although the mixing has alot to do with experience and what not, but I do love alot of the newer plugins/effects and tools available in the newer ones.

Like anything else in the computer side of things...it is a learning process...Your Brain is far advanced than any software or device made by man....No matter how complex, the more you play with it, the more at ease you become..and comfortable to it's features when Stablized...So far X3e has been mostly stable...Not sure yet about platinum yet...I guess the tweaking process, is again in progress via the support groups S&DOFE..(seek and debug or find em group)...lol...and they have already...feeling as you...but hold on for the Bliss!
Just remember its a grand illusion...and crime of the century is playing in the back ground,,.

Not tried Platinum yet, but so glad to jump from 8.5 to X3, and Platinum seems to be X3+.
What exactly is less intuitive?

It's quite a bit the opposite of what the OP says in my experience. Everything keeps getting better, faster, more intuitive and well, amazing.
Enough said I guess on that.
Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

Hi there Nino! Could you be a bit more specific about how Sonar Platinum does the opposite of making your life easier? Is it a workflow thing? A bug thing? A missing features thing? You mentioned Sonar X1...are you saying that the same issues since then are still in Platinum? Does that mean you expected Sonar Platinum to be radically different workflow/feature/content/stability-wise? I haven't used Sonar in a long time (too long) and my Platinum is downloading as we speak. I loved Sonar X1 - I thought the Skylight idea was terrifically efficient for my style of working and I hope that Platinum builds on that but doesn't reinvent the entire interface...Horses for Courses, I suppose!

ok I finished the download thingy...of all I did not already have..and got some packs for xln ad2 done...
All installs seemed to go without hitch or hiccup...here..and finished the updates Today, with never opening the products.
I have not been able to try out the new thingies...As my health went to hospital.
But today I am back at the control panel...And I see my old Icon for x3e, and the New one for Platinum...Is it updates I got, or a new install, leaving both separate for now?
Before I do any migrates to the new from the old...if needed?...should I try without migrating first?

In order to get your plugins,preferences etc. the way you are used to ,I would migrate. It shortens the stress.

My experience is exactly the opposite of yours Nino. I tried to use Sonar many times going back to Sonar 4 and always found it too difficult to use - non-intuitive and complicated. The only success I had was with the simpler Project5 product. It was only when Sonar X1 came out that I finally found a version that I was able to learn and since then I haven't looked back. It was straightforward, intuitive and there were great webinars that I watched over and over again - learning it was an absolute pleasure. Cakewalk have done a fabulous job with the X-series and I'm thinking maybe you need to spend a bit more time learning it. Check out CakeTV and Sonar University, there's also a wealth of useful stuff on YouTube. I'm up to X3 now and I have to say that each version has got better and better. Bonne chance Simon

I'm very dismayed,I have bought in the past X1 Studio $199,X1 Producer $300,X2 Producer for a decent $165[I always like to have the boxes]and then very quickly X3 Producer [also boxed for a very reasonable]$129 AUD.
So I log in to my account expecting to see an offer for $129 or so AUD instead it reads $ 545......$545 after also up grading melodyne $149 AUD ALL of the Pro Ch modules,and the price for me to download Platinum is $545!!!
No way,I do not earn a penny from music [though I used to in a decent paying band-extremely rare in Australia.] $ 545 !! There must be some mistake.

One of the bakers stated this a while ago. When you click the buy button ,you first get the retail, first perchase price. When you click Buy Now you het a choice of upgrading from another product which is a different price.
If I were you, I would order at JRR Shop and use the code GROUP for a 15% discount while it lasts. I paid about $125.00 for the upgrade and NO VAT.

Your account isn't seeing the correct e-mail that your other products are under. This was also discussed in this thread: http://forum.cakewalk.com/SOLVED-got-the-offer-via-email-it-only-shows-545-m3154224.aspx#3154296 You'll probably just need to update your e-mail in the store to the one you've used for your past purchases.

62 and healthy looking!,I should not be alive after touring in the 80's and 90s, the funny thing is I remember nearly all of it,and although I don't drink anymore[can't]and don't take anything illegal,just some of the things I did do would make Motley Crue's book seem tame,I'm not actually attempting to gloat or whatever I just can't believe I'm still here ATM,and downloading Platinum when the only soft synth Iv'e successfully used[to a degree] is SSD4.

Well to be fair - you really didn't give any reasons for your opinion or anything to start *meaningful* discussion. If your point was to start a meaningful discussion you should indicate why you are disappointed. Perhaps someone can help you gain more satisfaction with the software.
If its not, then I guess whoever replied to your post that you referenced above is correct.

What's the specific issue(s) that you're having? *Why* are you disappointed? There's no way of us possibly finding a solution of improving the product down the road, without meaningful feedback.

Always hilarious to me the people who just want to cry but don't want anything done. Here you have an audience of not only others who can help, but the developers themselves who might listen and change things. So what does he do? Whines and refuses to provide details, thus ensuring no problems will be fixed.
Some people are actually made happy by being unhappy I think.
