I hope it address some of the concerns of the forum.  I wish they would let us know what they are fixing so I would'nt get my hopes up!

Would love to know where you guys heard about the video improvements and would like to know more about it. If true, this would a huge welcome addition to the already strong X series.

Just read the official announcement.. these are my favorite parts:
 
...this update focuses on direct “wish list” feedback and suggestions for functional enhancements from Cakewalk customers. In addition, SONAR X3c will include support for Windows 8.1.

Cakewalk’s Director of Products George Persiantsev states, “SONAR X3’s exceptional stability out of the gate means that we can now concentrate on addressing direct feedback from our users—basically the best ‘focus group’ in the world—to take SONAR’s workflow even further.
 

The next question ?????
Will there be a Sonar X3d  ...................................................................................

I'm really looking forward to X3z (assuming that X3 boxed set upgrades will actually be available in the UK sometime before X4 is released) ;)

Am I the only that thinks:
 
1)Cake had a good vision for the future, but it took a little longer than customers were ready/patient for?
2)The Roland actually hampered Cake's ability to do business?
 
 

Wow I can't believe there is an update just for my exclusive arm record button. This is seriously good customer service.

Ok, I'm not too hopeful about my particular request but it's still damn fine customer service! :-)

I heard video feature is getting some love in this update. Lets see.

Video features are getting some love but not in the X3C update, the A patch turned into a B which turned into a C......

Just one of the reasons we try not to promise things for specific releases, things are always in a state of flux. 

Hey Seth,
 
You think CW/they can fix the Audio Import (Preview Buss) bug that doesn't save the Audio Import browser settings after closing it?

At what point is development on X3 patches shelved for development of X4?
 
Some developers have 6 month support schedules, some developers won't tell you anything.
 
X3a was release, X3b and X3c were already being talked about upon release.  will there be a X3d, e, etc if needed?
 
just curious, not complaining.  X3a has been a really good release for me so far, I'm happy.
