Oh... and I did not drop a dime into Vista. I tried it. I hated it. I waited and bought 7. I've seen 8 and I know I won't like it so I'll stick with 7. Why would I pay for something that isn't gonna do what I want it to? That's all it comes down to for me. I have loyalty to people (like some of the awesome folks I've met here and even some of the Bakers who have helped me out), not inanimate objects or corporations.
 
Again... I love X2. It just needs some fixin'.

I worry too Keni. It's so hard to predict what's going on in Cake land. Was the new forum something to soothe the masses in lieu of an update? Who knows.

It backfired.

So, who is not blaming Steinberg for selling a Cubase 7 before fixing all the issues in Cubase 6.Same can be said for Propellerhead Reason, I suppose. Then. Did Microsoft make a blunder with Vista, then made us pay for Widows 7? ...and so on, and so on...

No! I blame Cakewalk. :)

Think your joking with the multiple post?

I like the new forum.

I've only been posting from phone though. I rarely log on with a computer anymore.

lol... intentional triple post?
 
I am hopeful though. New forum. More activity from the Bakers. Implications they're cookin' something up. I'm gonna take these as good signs.

Before Vista. Cakewalk was probably the only DAW, with Sonar, to be developed for the 64 bit OS. I suppose Cakewalk products are too integrated into the Microsoft OS'es. Steinberg went 64 bit only at Widows 7.
Steinberg, Reaper, Studio One etc. they are all coded more independent of the Operating System and thus able to "wrap" the OS around them. This probably is a weakness of Cakewalk's way of Sonar; being more dependent on the advancement of Windows.
Its July '13 already: Should Cakewalk give us what has been coded for their next cycle as a free update, as X2b? Then it most likely will not fix 100 percent of issues for 100 percent of end users. Then a demand for X2c will emerge. At which point Steinberg releases Cubase 8 as Sonar users demands perfection at X2x and so on.........

Uh, sorry but there are certain features that have been touted over and over again that still have bugs in them after the A patch. I don't expect perfection anymore but when I encounter weird problems and outright broken features (with confirmation) any time I start trying to do something in depth then yes, something is wrong. There is no reason not to expect at least one more patch for X2. Heck... X1 got 4 of them. You seem to have confused me with one of the serial Cake bashers. I've been pretty positive and supportive. If they expect me to pay for simple fixes to obvious bugs... that will change. I won't run around here slagging them. I will just do what needs to be done.
 
Seriously, my money. My computer. My choice. Just like it is Cakewalk's choice to release a patch or a paid upgrade. Business is business. Not sure why my decisions would bother you in the slightest.

Steinberg have had 4 releases since Christmas. We've had none. Its an absolute disgrace.
