Not trying to diminish the problems of those actually having problems with this but is a rollback to B and/or not using the CE (or whatever causes this... still didn't get an answer on that) and/or simply unticking the 64 bit option as you work until the patch is released not an option?
 

Well, if your project had a bunch of mono interleaved tracks with the CE on each and you count on the functionality of the 64-bit engine, you'd probably be a bit annoyed.  Apparently, the EQ doesn't work properly in this situation either.
 

Ah... this is the recipe? Do the tracks have to be Mono Interleaved? I'll investigate... and yeah if it was absolutely imperative that that particular recipe was required I would indeed be annoyed. However I would try rolling back or if there was no urgent need to push something out the door (which I know some of our pro members need to do like GIM) I'd just disable the 64 bit engine and wait for the patch.
 
But as I mentioned earlier... for the heavy duty pros who this would/could be a major issue for is the CE really that outstanding? I mean it's a nice/interesting tool but it seems to me for that level of production those types of outfits would use one of the more powerful emulators. If a mix is in progress and you've already mixed into it that would definitely be a problem but again there is the rollback or if the project was started in X2 it could be done there (I've never had problems mixing in X2... just editing and tracking weirdness).
 
So with all that we kind of widdle down the pool of people where this is a CRITICAL issue to be rather small AND we have been guaranteed a fix with the next patch which seems to be taking a little longer than expected but seems to be imminent. I'm going to take a guess and say at the latest we'll see it before the new year like we did with the X2a patch. That feels about right.

Have to say I can't understand the impatience of some folks.

X3 has only been out a few months with 3 updates already and work on the fourth one going on. Cakewalk admitted that x3c broke something in connection with the 64 bit double precision engine and they're going to fix it along with some other acknowledged problems.

I would think patience would be appropriate after years of calls of taking time to make sure things worked blah blah blah.

Surely you can still make good music without this one feature.

Hi Mudgel,i agree with you in general.....i think that Sonar X3c is the best DAW on the market then i'm surprised seeing that Cakewalk technology workhorse feature was broken and I thought that dedicate themselves more quickly to the solution of the problem.
Just this.

You have to remember they are also implementing the new video upgrades into the D patch which I think is something that even those of us who aren't really into video will benefit from. Especially in the youtube age. I was not looking forward to having to purchase a separate video editor just to do simple stuff... AND it's basically free because it is being implemented as a patch. Not a paid upgrade.
 
My only hope is that THOSE changes do not introduce new issues but the video portion of Sonar seems to be relatively isolated from the rest of the program. Only time will tell.

This is the worst question on the blog:
 
WHEN ?

 
Maybe this would be a valid question if this was now February 2014.
Otherwise Cake will tell us when they want to tell us, leave them alone.

It will be sooner than Feb 2014. Much sooner. That's all I can say for now but we are working hard on it.

@Andrew... Well that was Alex's projection, not mine but whatever you guys have in the pipe. I'm not being held up by anything so it's just nice to know something is coming... even if I don't need it yet AFAIK. The R key is working fine, editing seems to be more fluid/normal, graphics are better (had a couple quirks but nothing major), less whiteouts, the Take Lane MSR buttons seem to be working properly and I've only had one real crash but that was because I was hitting Ctrl + Z frantically when I should have used the History option. So on my minimal usage so far this release has been playing far nicer on my system... and I still have not wiped it/set it back up again with optimal settings/config.
 
There is however that matter of the other thing... you know... the thing?
 

Actually I projected ages ago before the end of the year way earlier than 2014 ... but whatever, not like I have access to the scrumage... :)
Argh take lanes - my bugbear - logged a few issues on that - ARE WE THERE YET???

Your birthday Alex? February 2014 ?  That would be something.

Good to hear, thanks for the update.  Are you able to share what other fixes will be included?

Will do an article like we did for the X3b and X3c with the fixes. They are still busy fixing so we'll publish it when we release so it's the final version.
