This was not expected. I just bought bunch of soft synth- not the best financial situation. But it would be a waist of time to keep learning Sonar's old version (X2) when newer version is out and they probably changed everything again, like always. Wondering if there is "Undo" button as it used to be in earlier versions... I need that button as there is no keyboard near my keyboards...

I know that the base X3 doesn't include any ProChannel effects, but will the X2 Producer ProChannel modules still work with it (assuming that I have both X2 Producer and base X3 installed)?
 
Thanks in advance,

SONAR X3 doesn't have ProChannel. You'll need to go to Studio or Producer to get ProChannel

Thanks Andrew.  Even if ProChannel itself isn't there in the base version, will the X2 Producer ProChannel modules load as effects (i.e., Console Emulator, Breverb 2 SONAR, Compressor, etc...)?

No, you need the ProChannel to use ProChannel module. The upgrade to X3 Studio is only $50 more. Well worth it in my opinion.

just amazing

I see Cakewalk Producer Academic version. Is there any discount for students with X2 to X3 upgrade? I never got student discount with any Sonar versions- paid full upgrade price every year. Thanks.

This is not even vaguely accurate. X1 was the huge change and X2 just refined that. X3 is more refinement. The basic Skylight and key bindings are the same as they were in X1.
 
As for it not being expected only if you haven't bothered to glance this way for a week or so.

There's no upgrade academic version of an upgrade. The price listed are correct.

I don't disagree, but I'm trying to weigh my options and I appreciate the input!   So, will the X2 Producer VST's still work in base X3?  For instance, I have Breverb2 SONAR in my FX list as well as TH2 Producer and all of the xx-64 strips and effects.  Can I still use those as inserts?
