And this thread is just another example of the reason we sometimes are hesitant to share information and put down exact dates. Software is not like hardware, where you put it in production months before. We try to get these updates out as quickly as possible with the max amount of fixes. Therefore there's always a chance things could slip a few days.
Andrew, please don't let stuff like this alter your way of thinking. You guys are in the same boat as we that release CD's if you think about it. You may get 500 reviews saying how much you're loved and appreciated, and then 10 come out of the woodwork and tell you how bad you are, your service sucks and you guys are ripping people off. The bad reviews (even if they are VERY few) always seem to over-shadow the loads of great reviews. I've always hated that part of the entertainment business. :(
I'm blown away that you guys have resumed being on here like the old days while keeping us informed. If 50-100 people on this forum were to bash on you, remember there are thousands of us that love and appreciate what you guys are doing right now. I'm seeing Bakers pop up all over this forum attempting to help users....I'd be willing to bet PM's are flying all over the forum trying to help people as well, and these patches are coming out faster than ever before.
We may not be in a perfect position yet with this release, but I think we have come leaps and bounds from where we've been in the past. Some people may say "well things like this weren't the case with 8.0 and 8.5!" We also didn't have as much going on with them as we do here. Not to mention the whole new plugin thing....we just have to have a little patience. I think it's much easier for the majority of us to swallow knowing you guys are here where we can blatantly see you and we know you're working on fixes. I know it can't always be that way, but just know that the majority of us do appreciate that form of communication over the silence we've gotten in the past. Hopefully you and the other Bakers can just shrug posts like these off and continue to keep your moral high while interacting with us to make Sonar the DAW that we all know it can be. Thank you for everything...please keep up the great work and continue to update us even if timelines wind up being off by a lot.
