This is really great!!!

Now... how about one for Matrix view, RMix and any other features or tools that had significant changes. This is the right level of detail and I thought the production quality was fine. 


Edit: I found one for Matrix view.

Hey Synkro
 
You're right, I just tried it again and it does work.  I don't know what I was doing before ... well actually I do have an idea but it's so stupid I daren't admit it!
 
Thanks for your help mate

Mr Godfrey, I'm glad you've sorted it, and the pleasure was all mine :-)

Thank you Seth and ALL of the kind folks that brought this video, and software to us.

I wanted to echo all of the compliments before my post, I agree with them all. Great video, great content, great improvements in X2. Thanks Seth (and Brandon?) for the video. Thanks also to all of the Cakewalk/Sonar developers/programers who worked so hard in the background to make X2 what it is. Lastly, I also would like to be able to download the video and watch it offline after I upgrade to X2. ~Greg.

Well, Where to begin? First off, major thanks to everyone who watched and a special thanks to those of you leaving comments. The positive reaction to this video has been overwhelming and you can believe we are taking it to heart. Definitely expect to see not only videos of this style for future releases of SONAR, but also in the near future covering other various topics of X2.


I noticed a few questions in the many posts in this thread and I'll do my best to answer them below. If I missed anything or left anyone out, please don't hesitate to ask again. 

• Yes, that is my voice over in the video. 
• Ctrl + C/ Ctrl + V is indeed how to copy paste MIDI notes, automation, clips, etc. Or you can Ctrl + drag. The behavior is the same as long as you're using the Smart Tool. Other tools may or may not allow you to Ctrl + drag to cop (honestly, I don't know since I only use the Smart Tool for those functions).
• Someone in another thread (possibly about the webinar) commented about my 49ers t-shirt. Being born and raised in San Francisco, it is my birthright to be a 'Niners fan, and I don't see that changing any time in the near or distant future. 

HTH.

Thanks for the reply to all of us Seth. Someone else and I were asking about being able to download the video to watch offline?

I don't know how to do that but I've heard RealPlayer can do it. I thought I saw someone else mention an alternative or two, as well.

Awesome video. Very informative. Regarding take lanes, it is still a bit muddy .... I was hoping to be able to record multiple takes of _many_ tracks and have some take selection widget that would solo/mute automatically things not associated with each take. Right now I work around this by just doing my takes end to end linearly and capture my whole band at once. 

IOW, I record many tracks at once for each take. Sometimes as many as 16 to 20 at once.  I'd love to be able to select a high level "take 4" from a take widget and have all "take four" clips soloed each each track and the others muted.  That would save me a lot of time from a workflow perspective. 

Finally!! great video and extremely informative. As someone who jumped ship once X1 came out and moved to Pro Tools, I'd pretty much given up on Sonar.

I have to say, that X2 appears to be a pretty amazing upgrade mostly because of the excellent editing features which are now available, and a much improved workflow. I think Cakewalk really listened to it's customers, and did a lot of thinking on top of that and I'm certainly going to get it and give this DAW one more chance. 

Being both a Logic user and Pro Tools 10 user I have to say that Sonar X2 has many of the features these other programs have but with it's simplicity of use, I'm very impressed by what I've seen in the video. 

 The other thing which wasn't in the video was that the audio engine has been tightened up, and I'm definitely looking forward to checking this out. 

This is definitely a big step in the right direction, and can't wait to try it.

Cheers
