Sonar X2 !!!!!

I have just seen a video on youtube about the arrival of Sonar X2. August 2012. Has anyone else seen this ?

The next update on the new version will be end of August. SONAR X2 is NOT shipping this month.

Heck yeah!!!

Lots of new goodies!!!

Well I guess I will wait for the update. Was looking at R-mix, I can wait.
I hear some really bad reviews on the r-mix stuff.   Which is sad.
Usually new versions come out at the end of the year around $99-$150 give or take. You never know, Maybe they will do something cool like Propellerhead did and let you name your own price.  That was a big success for them. ;)


Construction clip looks very nice, looks like you can choose your own options for all the colors and such.  I like the colors and being able to choose them! WTG! I am sure benstat helped a lot with this! Thanks!


Looks like a lot of improvements on the new stuff that was added in X1! I have almost all of these "new" features in X1. Give me the improvements.

All X1 Pro Channel modules will work in X2 right ?..

Doubtful. Propellerhead knew full well what they were doing and had to get Record/Reason duo owners (the only people who were eligible for that deal though many thought it was all Reason owners) onto Reason 6 so hopefully sell them Rack Extensions. The sales model has really changed for Propellerhead where as before it was about selling Reason updates and the occasional refill now they sell plug ins and the occasional Reason update plus an audio interface (the audio interface is great btw but does not work right with Sonar. No problems with Cubase, Live, Reason or Reaper only Sonar) so the pay what you want deal from them imo is totally different than a plain upgrade from Cakewalk. I wish they would just do like Imageline and give updates away for free its not like their software is ever bug free or ever will be. The only DAWs I ever hear about that do not have bug issues though are Reason and FL Studio. Pro Tools, Sonar and Live and apparently kings of the bugs though I do not see many bugs in live personally. Cakewalk please fix rewire in X2!!!

I am hoping that this update fixes many of the problems we have in X1. It looks interesting and it gives me a reason to go with Producer. I like X1 its just the problems I have with it are massive problems to me. I may buy this update I love mixing in Sonar. 

have you changed your soundcard?
that might indeed clear up some of your issues.

Nope and I have no plans to. I will change Sonar first. Sonar is the only program that gives me problems with this audio interface. I run it with Reason, Live, Cubase LE, and Reaper without a glitch what so ever. Sonar just wants to act up with it but that is only a small problem that I can live with. Right now I cannot even run X1 without getting a BSOD though that may be a ram issue I am not sure yet. I am getting a cache manager error.

+1 to automation lanes!

Sick!

v 1.5 of the LP Multi-band dynamic and eq.

B-reverb + console emulation and roland r-mix

Automation lanes.

improvements to the audio engine to...   64bit double prec, and 348 htz... That should get a speeding ticket imho!!!!!!!

Plus lots of other tweaks and enhancements..  and that is just the beginning.

---  Count Me In!!!!!!!!

That console emulation looks like a load of fun. I am wondering what the new model is if I remember right the current ones are a neve and a ssl in producer right? what is this A model?     

I believe you are right about the SSL, neve?  I don't know neve well enough, that could be though.  As for this?  Also, I don't know.  :-(  I trust my ears though, and I've been in a few high-end studios with SSL and, "$100,000 desks," and I think Cakewalk nails this sound!!!  I honestly believe they provide this quality like no other daw right now...


As for your soundcard..  I'm having a few audio troubles too.  a lot of my troubles went away with proper system tweaks.. You are using windows 7 home premium?

Even with system tweaks, I am getting the occasional dropout, but nothing like it was before..  plus, I think Cakewalk knows it, and they have probably done some tweaking for X2...  I'm not worried though about the whole, "paid update/upgrade." thing..  I know some guys have complaints..  but you know..  when you want to the next model car, or the next model tv, or the next model software...

:-)

cheers

Wish I could see the full list (not rapid fire vid).

 
You can... try here, mouse over the boxes or yu can pause the vid and ease the vid forward bit by bit. I did the pause thing first but I think the same info is under the boxes here: http://www.cakewalk.com/SONAR-X2/ 
boxes ie perform; record; edit; etc

I mean it is August 1 and it's supposed to be 30 days away. The list must be somewhere, no? Andrew...?????.....?????.....?????

pause the video and scrolled through frame, by frame...


:-)

Yeah, I did that. I mean the "real" list.


You know, where's full color customization? Where's folders in folders? Where's true solo of drum kit pieces on a multi-out drum kit when a drum map is employed? 


All the other stuff is great but those are the three things I'm looking for.




BTW, if R-MIX is thrown in at a $99-$149 upgrade price, I'm a (reasonably) happy camper. Not that R-Mix is my #1 priority.
