I hate take lanes.

Another reason for my upgrading to X2 was........stability.

I can say that after watching the hour+ webcast Cakewalk did for X2 I was hoping for better stability and better GUI response. I think there were 'some' improvements, but that quickly diminished once I uncovered some bugs in the first 15 minutes of X2 use. I immediately had a bad taste in my mouth. X2a fixed a few of those issues, but others still remain. 

I would like to see X2 be stripped of a lot of features I don't use in trade for stability; I mean, letting ME un-install certain features I don't use so I can gain better performance. I think some stability issues were resolved, but new ones were introduced. So, whether I work in X1d or X2a, no longer makes any difference to me, unfortunately. 

Feature-wise I certainly like what I see in X2, but I'm not ready to upgrade from X1d Expanded until the general consensus on the forum is that X2 is more stable (via hotfix of X2b). 
 
I would hate to be one of the folks struggling with X2 issues.
 
I sure hope we see X2b or a hotfix before Jan 31st (end of NAMM Special), otherwise, my investment would be a leap of faith.
 
BTW:  Is it pretty well documented that X2a's core functionality operates the same on W7 64bit versus W8 64bit?

I found take lanes to be the most practical improvement for my workflow. My work often requires multiple takes and this speeds things up for me.

What feature SOLD you on X2?

Mooch said he was gonna get it. I have to keep up with the Mooches.

None of the above.
For me its simple; FOLLOW THE UPGRADE PATH.

It was free!
The Webinar prior to release impressed me.
The workflow ->Smart tool, Take lanes, Automation lanes - Midi editing.
 
 

The whole package, a really nice refinement of X1. Auto zoom and the smart grid especially have helped my workflow.

  For the upgrade price, how could you resist. An amp sim, a great reverb and R-Mix plus all the refinements for $99.
  What I'm enjoying the most actually came with the X2a update. 
  TOUCH SUPPORT
 I Feel like Tom Cruise from Minority report when I mix now!

I kind of wish they had released a patch/version without all that touchscreen crud. They could have called it "X2 Cranky Old Fart Edition".

Interestingly, no-one has mentioned touchscreen support as a reason for upgrade, whereas Cake are driving that feature hard in their marketing.

Probablly for due to the nature of most people are of the home studio/band kinda thing most will likely not venture into it until they want to come off the money just to try it out.


Im seeing allot more of it in use in the bigger production type work.  You will see it like on American Idol, the Voice, etc...  with everything brought up and they just kick back and hit the screen when it time to cue a track for singers.


Id imagine it will catch on fast in the smaller world when people can afford the larger mixers and interfaces and start using them LIVE when playing out.  I can see a NICETY in it just walking around large venues carrying an iPad and making adjustments on the fly.
