Seth, can you say anything about an official announcement from Cakewalk? I'm sitting here with my card in hand. X3 is going to be huge. Thank you for any info about an official release from the Bakers.

I already own XLN Addictive Drums, and don't use VST3 effects. I also happen to be one of the few folks out there who like V-Vocal and get good results with it. I imagine it's no longer in the product (and I very much doubt that the version in X2 "just works" in X3 although that would be cool if it did).
I'll have to wait and see what the "color customizations" really means.
 

It works in X3, we wanted backwards compatibility for old projects. This is always something we strive for. 

stickman, I would guess the opposite

I would actually lean the opposite way.  Most legacy plugins work when Cakewalk does not choose to license the product in the next version.  Granted, because of the way V-vocal is integrated in the interface it may be trickier, but it is still just a DXi plugin.  I tell you what.  As soon as I get X3, I will test V-vocal and post if there is a compatibility issue.

See..Seth just confirmed and he seems pretty trustworthy lol

No comment on take lanes???

If you take the "new features" section, and then remove the extra 3rd party plug-ins, you are left with:

• Skylight Interface enhancements and color customizations
• New flyout QuadCurve EQ/Analyzer
• Comp multiple takes together instantly
• Improved video support including YouTube export
• Gobbler integration
• Full support for VST3

Of those genuine new features, I'm hoping the "Comp multiple takes together instantly" means a re-boot of the take lanes.  If so, Cakewalk will get my money.

dubdiscipleTerrasin..i get it.  I'm sure if my experience with Cakewalk was similar to yours I would feel the same way. I guess take a look at demo when it is released and go from there.  Why do you despise Gibson?

Because they own Tascam who will be distributing Sonar. They are a useless company with useless products and useless programmers who make useless drivers which cause you to call their useless tech support. In fact, I sold my DM4800 to buy a VS-700.

Somebody got a frowny face...
