Upgraded from Sonar 8.5 producer to X2 producer this week. Decision made after 1 day trial. I love the GUI, the tools and the positive effect on the sounds I mix.
Spend an evening downloading all the freebies. Rapture and Dimension are now fully available to me. With the voucher I could buy Z3ta+ 2. I got a swift reply as promised from costumer service.
I was kind of frightened after reading all those angry stories on this forum during the X1 release. But I feel a warm glow of love when I think of all the posibilities Cakewalk offer me now. I am one satisfied costumer. I am a proud owner of the total package.
Not only am I thankful, but I feel a deep respect for the comeback Cakewalk have made after the first problems with the x-route. I look forward to more products in the line of Roland's often music making changing vision: what do musician's need as a too, how do they make music?
The fact Boss, Roland and other quality hardware from sister companies aren't forcefully integrated with this software is for me a sign this is serious software. But I am looking forward for that route if it may come.
Thanks and respect!
