I had no trouble at all with the install. 

I just now reset the VSTs and did a new scan. I can not at present report any problems. 

I'm on Windows 8. I can't say anything about touch because I don't have a touch screen for my desktop.

So far so good. This appears to be a great patch. Now what are we going to talk about?

Near enough... I'm headed out this minute to get a massive multi touch monitor- so long suckers 

Took the chance on installing 2a on my Vista PC even though it's not recommended, and after working on a couple of projects it seems to do just fine. It's a Dell that's been very stable with any program and well maintenanced. 

Seems I've got to buy a new one next year though as updates aren't supported anymore. 

As usual any download from Cakewalk is the slowest download in the world so I'm looking a close to 2 hours...sigh.

FWIW, I'm typically able to download from the Cakewalk site at almost 2MB/Sec.

I posted this elsewhere but got no response, but I'm seeing erratic behaviour when I select "now time to end" and "now time to start". Frequently, but not always, the clip(s) do not highlight. Can someone else take a look?. Thanks, David

I am not having a problem highlighting clips and the Now Time seems to work fine, been playing with it for 10 minutes now. I can't seem to duplicate your issues.

this is the least of my problems; wave files that display as huge blocks http://snag.gy/pQ83Q.jpg no audio from wave files, not audio from vst's, no audio from the browser, old projects taking 5 minutes to open (no audio there either) and no communication with maschines sequencer (even if there was there would be no audio).

In TV the values on hold peak meters only partially display.
Also the now cursor seems to flicker / low definition.

Anyone else?

Sorry to hear of others troubles.

Update,going cool here!,especially the 160 something[I think?]"Perfect Space" IR files,very useful-thanks!

I was turning more to Breverb[stock producer version],as I was getting the "instant gratification" thing,but Perfect Space,is a highly underrated convolution reverb,even if it is still 32bit[using the bridge seems to hog more cpu,not that I have a clue why?].

Anyway,I was nicely surprised to find out about the update here,as I had not checked my mail lately,and yes download time,on Oz's Big Pond-100GB a month DSL deal[for me anyway],is frighteningly slow at times,though that pales in comparison,to up-loading to soundcloud[at least they accept .wav's]where a 70mb 16/44.1 .wav takes like almost 1/2 an hour![regardless of using Ethernet cable,or Wi-Fi-which Iv'e been told NOT to use,but doesn't seem to make ANY difference..odd?]

X2a doing alright,so far,and again Karl's[aka Fast Biker Boy]SWA X2 video is just what the proverbial doctor ordered @ $19.95!

To totally spin"off topic",Computer Music's issue:CM183[our LATEST!@ $19.95AUD-so you can see why I think Karls vid is SUCH a deal!]has a FREE "Sonimus Satson"64bit and all,and I was wondering if Anyone knows WHAT functionality,has been-slipped out the back door,if you know what I mean?,as it seems quite good,and the high/low pass,seem fairly respectable,especially for a seemingly rare-Free 64bit vst.

Any thoughts?,other than I should sometimes stay away,from newsagent stores here,where 3 month old magazines,are the norm as "Brand New"[if US/UK] ha ha.

Thanks Marcus. How do you select "now to end, start" etc? I use the Ctrl F9/F10 commands that have been in Cake since early DOS versions. I bind them so I don't need to change 20 years of habit. These worked fine in X1 but perhaps I need to change my method now. I see the F6 commands are now default. Thoughts?

Well first I don't know what you mean by now time to end. I just click where I want the now time to go and just hit play. for testing purposes I just started to play around with the transport controls during playback. I also tried zooming during playback to see if the now time would jump around. I also tried hitting the double arrow buttons. I did not really use keyboard commands. I also expanded track folders and highlighted clips at a rapid pace to see if any of the clips refused to highlight or if they would take a few mouse clicks to highlight.


I did not have any trouble with the now time or highlighting clips. I guess I don't know what you mean or what you are trying to do when you say now time to start. I just tested for erratic behavior and had no issues. maybe you can give us more details about your issues and what exactly it is you want to do.

As of this posting I think the people that put this patch together should pat themselves on the back because they have done a very fine job.

Thank you CW!

Never mind the scroll wheel thing. It looks like it's disabled in my computer for some reason.

Thanks for that info. I was going to ask if anyone had it working on Vista.

Yep, seems to be working fine on Vista so far.

wow a 531 meg download. 


The large download is because there is a new Microsoft redistributable and also some perfect space impulses and content included.

I noticed that as it installed....both the VC++ 2012 and the new PS Impulses...

I tend to watch what goes one when a program installs in case of issues...LOL

I saw the PS files during install too, only thing is I don't have PS installed.
I looked at the folder & since the dll isn't there can I delete those unnecessary impulses & folder without doing anything harmful to the registry?

A better question would be can you use those impulses on TH2 producer edition? I see no reason why you couldn't. I noticed some amp impulses in there. Since TH2 has the ability to load IR's maybe you should try them in there before you delete them. I seen some cave IRs that are already sounding great with my acoustic. Too cool!

Following the video tutorial from the freebie producer content I see that we could load Wav files into the Cabinet IR, but it only wants a mono file or one channel of the stereo files, so I didn't continue with the Perfect Space imports.
