Going from 8.5 to X2a, was probably the single most important point in my music creating life up until now. I'm really not kidding. I've said this before, but it seems like the Bakers were reading my mind and frustrations all these years (been using Cake from its beginnings) and changed the tools and interface to fit my brain perfectly. Frustration and confusion before has turned into joy and clarity over night. I feel as if X2 is allowing me to control it instead of the other way around, like so many other programs...(Microsoft???) The process of music creation now makes much more sense to me.
Thanks, Cakewalk... I'll always chime in when there's a "do you love SONAR?" thread.
