Thanks FFB....


so no music note duration icons  then (again).....   still work in 8.5 to create music .... but use X1 to mix... - 

I was just hoping Cakewalk would give me an incentive to purchase X2. Ben Staton could do it in his spare time with sonar+... can't see why Cake just don't integrate it as it was in 8.5 and earlier..

Wow - I'm really hoping that the posted image is just missing some icons which are actually present, otherwise, to not include Ben's stuff is a kick in the ***** for me.
 
Someone - anyone, please verify the full look and feel of Staff View as a result of X2a.
 
If this turns out to be true, I will not upgrade to X2 - it is a matter of principle.

2 hours?????

Mine took 7 minutes! 

That's on 10Mb from Virgin
I've finally managed to escape the clutches of my provider of the last few years but the change over process is still WIP. I'm hoping my new provider will be better.
I've just done a speed test and if the download was from anyone else it would be fine - I've always had trouble with Cakewalk downloads.
Grum.

I'm in New Zealand where it is now 21-12-12, 10:15 AM. I can report that Sonar X2a installed as intended and that the World is still intact. However, the hippies have gathered at the meditation center down the road to chant, bless them. There is even a contingent of 14 from Spain who have arrived to help. You folk in the Northern Hemisphere can relax: it's all being sorted out for you down here!

Can anyone confirm with a pic what changes lie here please...

2Updated Piano Roll view and Staff view Track pane UIThe Track pane in the Piano Roll view and Staff view has received an updated UI, shows more intuitive buttons, and the current track is now highlighted."

Might get the wallet out before Christmas if there are sufficient changes...


PRV pic here, Staff view pretty much the same



Karl,
 
Is there any way you could please post an expanded picture of the Staff View with some notes on the staff, so we can see if there are any new UI icons?
 
Much appreciated.

Anyone seen a double vertical line during playback yet? Besides me, that is.

Download and install went quick for me. So far X2a is rock solid for me. But I haven't dug-in very deep as yet.

 wow a 531 meg download. 


The large download is because there is a new Microsoft redistributable and also some perfect space impulses and content included.

As usual any download from Cakewalk is the slowest download in the world so I'm looking a close to 2 hours...sigh.
 
Grum.


2hours. It was only minutes here in the Norfolk backwaters and we're still on string and tin cans.

Slowest download since dial up. Hurry up, need to have a butchers before wifey gets home :-/
180 Kbps.... Not bad for fibre optic. Probably a solar flare or asteroid

X2a Rock solid here! Recorded two songs, One with Dimension Pro and it hung for about 25 seconds then everything works just like it should. I really dig the free Christmas Sounds, Lots of great tones in there!
Thanks Cake!
