First of all, I would personally rate X1D a HUGE success! Thank you, Cakewalk! It was definitely worth the wait. Thank you for not only giving us an "update," but also for taking the time to ADD huge things, like the new EQ, which is fantastic, by the way, and metronome subdivisions. FANTASTIC. THANK YOU! But, there's just one more issue many of us would like you to address, either in future X1 updates or whatever your next DAW might be -- metronome STABILITY. Many of us rely on the metronome for recording and use it extensively. I personally do and it seems as if a lot of other people on this forum do as well. I remember in Sonar Home Studio 6XL, the metronome just stopped working for absolutely no reason. Just disappeared. Nothing. No metronome. If it happened to one or two people, fine, but it was like.... tons and tons of people. I'm sorry, that's just unacceptable. So, I am asking you, as a customer, to at least consider looking into the problems that we, as customers, have experienced with the metronome. I am, by no means, "calling you guys out." You have all been amazingly polite, courteous and helpful on this forum (even when we, myself included, haven't returned the same courtesy).... my goal is just to show you guys how much of an issue it really is. Thanks!

LOL seriously? 61 views and not one person? Okay....

I have no metronome issues. Sorry

I don't either. What problem are you having?

He has a problem getting people to sign his petition.


DUH!

No metronome issues here.  What exactly are the steps we need to reproduce?

People who have criticised the metronome have gone missing and never been seen again. Just saying like.

I think they have been trying to improve any metronome issues. Didn't it get a fleeting mention in Webinar:The Movie. Mine went AWOL in Sonar 6 or 7 but I think that's been sorted in later versions, although it never was at the time. It was only cured by buying a new version. £89 was worth it just to hear that soothing click.

Well Jimmy, what I think you have here is the same thing I have with the PC modules turning on/off by themselves on some systems ... and that is, I'm the only one stupid enough to keep bringing it up because, well, everyone else experiencing it abandoned ship.

Yeah, I've seen problems with the Metronome, but I've always got it working again by a reboot, which is something that I've learned is just part of using Sonar.

We could jump ship, but I'm pretty sure it's just about the same on board other vessels as well, so we might as well stay on this one until she's sea worthy or sinks.

I think you might have more success requesting a fix, or receiving technical support via the recommended support mechanism than asking people to sign a virtual petition of sorts.  While a thread can demonstrate whether your issue is something others are having by their responses, Cakewalk still has a recommended problem reporting system by which they document and possibly prioritize valid problems.  

Have you used the Problem Reporter? http://www.cakewalk.com/support/contact/problemreport.aspx

Have you requested assistance from technical support? 1-888-CAKEWALK or Email http://www.cakewalk.com/support/contact/csr.aspx

If others have the same problem and use the same systems I think the fine folks at Cakewalk will more readily be aware of the problem and whether others are having it.

Just a suggestion and no I'm not joking or being a smart @#$ - we have various tools at our disposal for a reason.

As for signing the petition - doesn't happen to me (so far), when it does I'll be sure to report it.

Thanks for the replies. I do think I'm in the Twilight Zone, though.
