Hello, I am thinking of upgrading from Sonar 6 Producer to X2 Producer, but I feel the descriptions of which upgrade I need to choose from, are not too clear (could be my lack of english...) Do I need this upgrade then? Download for SONAR 1-2 XL or any SONAR Producer Customers €199.00 I just do not understand exactly what SONAR 1-2 XL means, but I think the other options listed are not applicable when upgrading from Sonar 6 Pro. see: http://www.store.cakewalk...ductid=10-CXSP2.00-20E I hope anyone here can make this clear for me?

SONAR Producer started with SONAR 3. Before SONAR Producer there was a product called SONAR XL. In any event, you qualify for the 199 upgrade.

ah, that is clear to me now, thanks! :-)

You have selected the correct product.  The distinctions are:-

• Upgrading from X1 (2 options) - not applicable to you, you're not on X1
• Upgrading from any Sonar Producer - this is the one for you (you're on Sonar 6 Producer).  It seems that in Sonar 1 & 2 the XL versions are being classed as equivalent to Producer.
• Upgrading from any Sonar Studio - not the one for you because you have the Producer version.  Note that Sonar 1 & 2 are classed as Studio
• Any other Cakewalk product - not for you

I recommend you check out all of the Getting Started videos Cakewalk have put on You Tube (X1 and X2), then the more advanced ones.  They made a huge difference to me learning the product, I suggest starting with the introduction to the new Skylight interface:-.

If the Groove3 all access pass offer (in the content club) is still running when you upgrade, you will get access to the X2 explained guides for free.  They are very good.
 
I upgraded to X1 from Sonar 6.  It was quite a change, I was lost at first.  Scott G's X1 Power book was invaluable to help me learn my way around.  New X2 Power book should be out soon.
 
I LOVE X2, I hope you find it the same.  It has improved my workflow immeasurably.  Come back when you upgrade and tell us whatyou think.  This forum is also an invaluable source of information.
