.....but X3b is the bestest experience I've had with Sonar.

Grum.

Can't agree more. I started years ago with Sonar 1, or whatever the first version was. I remained a Sonar user through the years with upgrades to Studio 6 Home version, then X1, X2 and now X3b.
 
X3 is freaking incredible. Easy flow, great results....

Grum are you using it with reason still , how does that work out ?

The last track I made had to be 100% Reason due to being a Rack Extension competition entry and so I've only just started on Sonar. Consequently I haven't played with rewiring but as I only stream the main left and right outputs from Reason (rather than individual outs from other channels) I've always been happier than some others who use Sonar's rewire.
I know there is a rewire track I'm working on that would crash X2 if the latency was too low - I suppose I could try that but if that crashes X3 then my good feelings will be sullied .
Bottom line: too early to tell but I can guarantee there will be rewiring in the very near future.

Grum.

I totally agree. All things considered, it (Producer) is a significant step up in making music creation more about music creation. THANK YOU CAKE.  I am delighted.
 
 

+1 on my brief 2 hours with X3b Producer last night.  Really just testing existing stuff, but did start a new project.  That expanded EQ in the Pro-Channel was worth the upgrade fee all by it's own so far.  My sense is that they've attended to a lot of background tweaks as well as the trumpeted new features.
 
My only issue at the moment is that although it will 'play' existing project VSTs, they are not listing when I go to add an effect/VSTi.  I'm sure they are there and I just need to locate them properly to have them show up.
