I've become accustomed to the email notices of upgrades...

May got out soon?

They are shipping on the 28th...which puts availability around the 1st of Oct. for 
in store purchases....I'd assume the download will be available the 28th...

Looks like Sweetwater pulled the Sonar X3 ads within the last hour or so. Maybe many baking is still going in.

A fellow forum member stated he got the Sweetwater catalog by mail yesterday (9/23) and it had a spread on X3

If I was king of Cakewalk, I'd pull the plug on X3 and just go with "Tascam Professional Recording Software" on the package and in the program. I mean really what is Tascam going to add in the near future ?? Otherwise it could be a year or two wait for the new name. If they are going to change the name, the sooner the better in my opinion.

djwayne ...pretty interesting comment...
 
the ad has been pulled from musician's friend, sweetwater ...IMHO... the advance marketing was premature...
I did read the sweetwater info ...sounds interesting... if all is correct
speculation abounds ...for us long timers, I reckon it's become an annual event of hoping desired changes will be forthcoming...
 

Well I'd feel much better about buying an upgrade to the new improved "Tascam Professional Recording Software" than a soon to be defunct X3 upgrade. They may have to order new boxes and a simple re-write of the dvd's, but it'd be worth it, to roll out the new name now, rather than wait 1-2 years for the next upgrade. Even if it took a month or two, it'd be worth it. They've already decided to change the name, so why wait ??

buy a product, wait a year for bug fixes that don't come, buy the next product, leaving another partially broken product abandoned... sonar 8.53, sonar x1, sonar x2...
 
if the corporate policy continues to be the same, i'll probably pass.

I've already predicted the 27th Larry.
 
And you can believe in what I say.

You could demand that they stop it right now.
Others are doing it, why not you?
