X1 wastes space needlessly. Fact, not opinion.

+1

tarsier

Which version of Sonar shows more information in the track view header?


What on earth does "LftASHDRA" even mean...?

A picture is a thousand words... and this is just one instance of X1's UI failure.
How can anyone defend X1 with comparisons like the above???

Because it takes design, development and testing time.

Careful now... I'm only seeing one of those things in X1.

If it was so easy then why don't we just take the afternoon and do it?

n0rd, purely your opinion. I happen to like the way the controls are now. Visually more interesting and easier on the eyes.

So you would just go grabbing envelopes in 8.5 w/o switching to the envelope tool so you woudln't accidentally move clips? If so, then I comend your dexterity and bravery.

/adds dexterous and brave to curriculum vitae

Clip lock is good too.

;-)

Brandon, I'm keen to come up to X1, can you 'let slip' if 'b' is going to return the necessary functionality to the TV header; ie ability to have it define buttons and button order (inc phase) and the ability to colour code the control sliders (so it's easy to see which is which at a glance)  On all the screenies I've seen they are all blue?

I've not used a vertical 'mixer' style control (including the strip inspector) since I came over to SonarXL and I don't want to / understand why I should have to now....

It may be that NoRd doesn't know which is which. LOL

8.5.3 is on the left X1 is on the right. Do you still think it has a UI failure?

I too like X1 over 8.5.3 in the looks department.

Well, I have spent the past day and today attempting to compose a song in X1... and I am much more pleased with it now than I was before. The simple ability to call up the little modules when you need them. My advice to everyone: Spend the time to re-create a new "blank" template. Get everything set up just how you want it and save the template. Once I got the interface to look and work how I wanted, it is quite nice.

I will chock the hatred up to people just not being used to the interface, or just not taking the time to customize it properly. Oddly, I noticed when A/B from X1 to 8.5, the audio sound richer for some reason... and it shouldn't. But yeah, seriously... I hit "I" and it gives me a channel strip for the selected track and its destination... hit "I" again and it goes away... instantly. Same thing with the multi-dock console. I feel it has actually streamlined my workflow once I learned its little quirks.

Now, to fix the real bugs.

Look carefully: "Left ASIO Hammerfall DSP Ray" vs "LftASHDRA"

I'm being objective - not subjective. I'm not saying whether it looks "pretty" or not...

Yeah, the way this works is keep the first and last letter of each word... and remove every vowel that is not the first or last letter... most of the time. Just fyi to the OP.

If you don't know what I'm talking about I don't know how to explain it to you. Buss track in the TV you know the thing that has a track next to a buss.

You could start by explaining whether you are talking about a track or a bus and then you could go on to explain what is editable about it...  Buses live in the Bus pane in Sonar. Are you talking about that?

Is it really that hard to explain? Surely if it is in Sonar it must be in the manual and have a proper name.

I cant argue (not looking to) with Mr. McCue on this. I totally agree. JMHO
