The installer for the 64bit version of CA-2A ignored my standard VSTplugins folder (/program files/steinberg/vstplugins/) and instead installed to Cakewalk's own VSTplugins folder - where I have nothing else installed. And there's no way to tell the installer where you want it installed.

Seriously. These oversights ...

Actually I think that is hilariously cool!

Do you  think the $20 upgrade price will always be there or is it time limited?

Thanks

where is that offer of a "free voucher" when needed!

Yes life sucks....then you get married!

 
Very funny Freddie. If I might paraphrase?

Back on topic: I couldn't believe this offer when I saw it. Just last week I was thinking how badly I wanted to use the 2A in a different DAW but couldn't. Apparently now I will be able to which is a good thing for me. I use the 2A on all acoustic guitar tracks which is the majority of what I track. Like the sidechain too... Bonus!!!
 
Regards,

Besides side chaining, does this version offer anything new?

Good question.

I don't know if they've worked on the algorithms or anything.. Would be nice to know, actually.

But function-wise the update gives you two new things:
Side chaining and a VST-version (to use outside PC)

I don't think it would be very smart to give it more new features, since it's a emulation of a hardware unit. Better to stay true to the original

I upgraded and did the install.

Now Sonar X2 will not open and is giving me error messages about not being able to open the old version, and not displaying the new version.

ARrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhh.

Beware!
