I remember a lot of people saying they didn't care about VST3 but wouldn't be opposed to it/welcomed it and I think that is still what's happening here aside from the obvious turd disturbers.

True Beep. I was one of those. But I also remember some of the bitter threads attacking CW for not having it. 

Mike said he's gonna wait and see before forming an opinion on X3... at least he did in one thread that I saw.

what happened to freddy? Did he get banned or just go away?

He started using another platform. He did get told to shut up though so it is possible he got banninated or just bailed.

 That will be a nice change. 

I guess I Miss the Big letters.LOL
I remember him ranting forever about 64 bit... then vst3.... then how much he really liked his other daw.
 
Good Times!

that's exactly what I was referring to john.
there was quite a few attacks from people questioning why cakewalk didn't incorporate vst3 in x2.
 
it also looks like cakewalk listened to its users and gave them almost every feature they were asking for as far as I can tell by reading the new features and  improvements on sweetwater.

Well... I wanted Audiosnap fixed. A notation improvement would have been nice too but not necessary.
 
Not much happening in this release for me. The Tape Sim would be cool but I don't need it. Take Lane improvements would be nice but they never bugged me as much as they did others. AD is great but I already have BFD. Improved video is nice but probably not as good as an actual video editor which is what I've been planning on getting for a while. Don't need more plugs/synths... at least not the ones they've added.
 
The only thing that would be truly useful are any stability improvements but there is no way to tell at this point whether those improvements will actually fix my specific issues and there's no guarantee there won't be new problems even if they are. Even IF they got all those little kinks completely out of the program it's just not worth $150 to me.
 
$50 X2 patch please.

(you could say FL and Ableton are way more modern but they aren't really for actually RECORDING audio). 

 
I would take a look at this video, beep, if you think ableton isn't hypermodern at audio recording...

I guess there is a need for that.  Personally I find that repetitive ostinato stuff boring as heck, and I don't consider it progress to make it easier to do that.  But I guess a lot of people like Phillip Glas too.
 
I think my version of personal hell would be to be trapped on a desert island with somebody who had an Ableton setup, a microphone for rapping, and a violin to play Vivaldi when he wasn't doing the Ableton thing.  I'd be looking for the nearest vine to hang myself.

Funny!

I've got a lite version of Ableton that came with my Scarlett. I'm curious about it because of all the hype but as and actual flesh and nail musician I really don't think it would be something I'd use regularly. Besides Sonar and most of the other DAWs are capable of that production style anyway. I think it's the layout that the hippety hoppers and OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ crowd find appealing.

Then he started trolling the NI forums
