1. Why does it take 30 days to get a response from the Cakewalk Help now that Roland has bought them? 2. Why when I tell them that this works in X1 Producer but is broken in X2 Producer do they tell me that it must be the other VST parties so ask them? I point out that it works in X1 but is broken in X2 and they still blame the other companies. 3. Why does X2 Producer break down after 24 tracks. After 24 VST and audio tracks, suddenly the keyboard is playing 5 tracks instead of the one chosen. Again I load 30 tracks into X1 and it works perfectly. 4. Why is the last X2 bug fix from 2012? 5. Is it possible that Roland wants to not compete in the professional DAW market so they are killing Sonar Producer? That is what it looks like to me. 6. I have been with Cakewalk since before Sonar, 1998...Cakewalk 5. Now I have to learn a new technology because of this. It is making my spirit sick.

Welcome to the forum (mabe..)

Are you just a troll or do you actually want some help and advice on how to make this work?

Did you check your spam folder for a response?  Can't help you if you don't provide system specs.  I'd say its a little unfair on your 1st post to completely condemn the product without asking for help with a specific problem. Saying X2 is a bust is a bunch of baloney. X2 works great for me. X2 is a BLAST!

I have to say, I had the same problem.  I had a plugin that was working fine in X1.  When I upgraded to X2 and tried to insert the exact same plug in, it would crash.  I reinstalled the plug in and reinstalled X2...same thing.  I called support and they also told me I should contact the plug-in manufacturer.  I also run ProTools M-Powered version 8 and wasn't having a problem with this or any other plugin.  So, I feel his pain.  I never could get it to work.  The plug-in manufacturer said to contact Cakewalk.  It can be really frustrating because it's not a free upgrade...so to pay money to upgrade and then be pushed off without even an attempt to troubleshoot is frustrating.  Sampletank is the plug-in that stopped working for me..and that's no cheap plug-in and one I use a lot. So I've had to make major changes to the way I work - or use ProTools if I know I need to use Sampletank.

Sampletank 2.x or earlier is one of those programs that has UAC problems.  What version are you running that is failing with X2?

I'll take a wild guess: 32 vs 64?

It would help if we had system specs but my guess is that help isn't what is wanted. 

As for X2: it is very stable on my system. I think the product, by and large, is the bomb. Stability + fantastic workflow = happy comper (sic).

Just look in the Software forum. People are really frustrated with IK Multimedia and its lack of updates for Sampletank. Infact its become a standing joke. The fault if IK Multimedia, not Cakewalk.

Indeed, CW tech support is not very responsive these days...

Same thing in the Reaper forum...
