I wonder what the "Silly bugs" are.

Kenni may have a thread about that (which was moved to the Coffee House).

Reviewers are familiar with various pieces of software, so they realize that all DAWs have limitations. As a result they are more likely to review based on what a program does do compared to what it doesn't do. By those standards, X3 is pretty awesome.

:-(
If reviews and reviewers provided any practical value reviewers would be able to make a living preparing reviews.

So you gonna give X3 a shot McQ? Seriously it's pretty slick. Seems to have solved the more annoying issues I was personally having granted my needs and usage are very different than yours.
 
You may... perhaps... like others who were not so keen on the X phenomena... actually like it.
 
Not being sarcastic. Would genuinely be interested in the McQ Review... that is if it were honest and approached with a relatively open mind.

In the cons, iTiDav mentions a shortcoming as "sheet-music management, still very basic after many years". But really, how many of us use the staff view to print sheet music? I gave up on trying to get any DAW to do that and use another program (Notion) if I really need to write a score or print parts. DAWs and notation software are 2 different beasties IMHO.

Be warned, you asked for it......

Wait a minute, didn't X3 come out in 2013? Hmm...
 
Although, to be fair, the 30-day trial version of X3 did finally come out in 2014.
 
Anyway, still plenty of 2014 left, Cakewalk, so don't get cocky yet!
 
 

The definition of 'silly bugs' are bugs that developers couldn't give 'two sheets' about...

In reality, my review was published in November last year. So, the award was for 2013 (audiofanzine).
The english version of my review was published a few days ago, but X3 is sooo good than the award is still running for 2014 ;)

I have to go along with you on that, Dave. I've only once used Sonar for preparing sheet music and I doubt I'll ever do it again, not because Sonar lacks anything I can imagine; I simply don't read music. I've tried and tried over the years, but I have a mental block or something. It just never sticks no matter how hard I work at it.
 
So I've resigned myself to being an idiot savant... musically, at least.

Sounds good to me.
