I have been drooling over X3 ever since I saw that they released the new version on facebook. I had some major computer problems last weekend mostly software related. I redid the hard drive and reinstalled windows 7 ultimate.
a few days ago I took the plunge and upgraded to X3 professional. I got the bulk of it installed and there is no more X2 on my machine although I did install R-mix. Now I am working on third party plugs like Ozone 5, Melda and TH2 full version.
There are a lot of older plugins I will not use anymore. I see the nomad plugs taking their place. This version seems much more complete and stable. I have not had the time to run tests yet but I am looking forward to what X3 has to offer. I am very excited to see the direction cakewalk is headed.
