I was told that Melodyne is not locked to X3. How about Addictive Drums? Is it locked too?

Answered elsewhere.
No.

Well now that I have X3 why would I want to use X2 ??
 
As for the Nomad bundle, I'm curious how much did that costs by buying it separately from X3 ??
 
I have no regrets.

Nomad Factory site has it for $399...I'm sure it's cheaper somewhere.

Transitional for some I'm sure.
 
I still have X1 on my machine and will continue to do so until it's time to reinstall from scratch (which is less likely based on my imaging scheme).

I never even thought about that Dave. I guess it's no big deal for me, as I have never gone back to an older version of Sonar and the only other DAW I've used in recent years is Harrison's Mixbus. And that was just to get that tape sound.
 
Depending on how X3 sounds with the tape sim, I may not be using anything but X3 and the other 64 bit plugs I've purchased recently.

This is starting to feel like a weekend with a loose woman.  Lots of regrets afterward.

you've had nothing but negative posts this weekend hu  dave ?
I mean sure, everyone is entitled to their opinions but your just looking for the negative.
 
like yesterday when Panu started a thread about a crash in x3.
what did you say ?  o ya,  "we have a winner folks"
 
like you had been waiting around all day for a crash to happen so you could pop open a bottle of champagne and celebrate a cakewalk failure. 
 
you used to be helpful around here, specially to Toontrack users.
now you sound more resentful more then anything else.

Not as resentful as disappointed.  It's OK.  I'll be backing out of here shortly and going on about my business.  Sometimes "ya pays your money and ya takes your chances."

Wow, $399 worth of plug-ins included in the $149 upgrade price... what a deal !!! I think they sound and work pretty good too !!

I'm sorry you feel disappointed, Dave, but surely we have not reached our venerable age without a little common sense?
 
Cakewalk have released this update with "extras" that are worth more than the product.  It is a great deal for people who use Sonar.  If someone were trying to get a lot of third party software at a knock down price, with a DAW thrown in for free, then surely that is asking too much?
 
I think this upgrade was well worth the money.

Using several daws and cherry picking their goodies is great for any of us when it happens. But it's rare. So no, based on several efx offerings from cake that goes back through the years, they protect their investments, as they should. That essentially allows the sonar users to participate and enjoy group buys so to speak.
 
I've used several really good daws over the years, but from my perspective X3 is the daw to own right now. Smoking...

Compared to the people who seem to contribute NOTHING except repeating the same negative comments, Mod is far from the extreme on the negative scale.  He has voiced some concerns and frustrations but he at leas t seems like he wants X3 to succeed.  There are several people who post  who don't own Sonar and have not owned any version in a long time who just come to troll.  Mod at least bothered to buy the product. 

It's rare when I expect licensed plugins to work outisde of the program i bought them with.  I doubt there is much Cakewalk could do about that since that directive likely came from the third party and helped reduce the licensing fee.  i do think it would be nice if they could offer a fee to unlock these programs from Sonar.
