V vocal editor white screen often on longer clips (over 30 seconds). This makes it useless for me.


Cakewalk have ALWAYS recommended that V-Vocal be applied only to shorter clips. Split 'em up and try again.
Plus One to this.
 
I have always used it by cutting up the offending parts into pieces of several notes of maximum 5/6/7 seconds. . Never had a problem.
 
X2 very steady out of the box, had one white screen which was "user error". X2 backed up the track and away I went a few minutes later.
 
Each to his own problems on his/her own PC/Laptop.
 
Cheers,
Jerry

I have installed X2 a couple of days ago and opened the old x1 projects without problems working some hours without negative but only positive surprises at the moment. Whit X1d there was still a lot of bug and issues that i used to face almost during every session (crash, hang of the system, freeze and so on).
I hope this positive feedback will continue, i think Sonar is absolutely the best DAW in term of workflows and overall functionalities but with some important insane instability. If the first impression is not wrong, it will be n. 1 without any dubt.
 
my 2 cents

I have been getting a lot of graphical bugs, namely inactivity on volume meters, blank PC modules and artifacts from deleted clips. Also a noticeable increase in crashes, usually with an absence of Cakes crash reporter. I think I have noticed an improvement in the audio engine, but it is still far from gapless.

The only annoyance that I have found is that unlike 8.5 I can not have more than one plugin open and displayed at the same time... ERRRRR that bothers me.

Not sure I follow you - do you have your plugins docked in the multidock? I can have any number of plugins on display at one time if they are not docked.

For instance... If I want to have one instance sonitus EQ on the kick and I have it up, then I want to pull up the one I have on the bass to make sure I am not pushing the same frequencies in them, when I open the 2nd one the 1st closes. This never happened in previous versions. I can't have 2 scopes up at the same time to watch while listening to a mix (say the analyst & voxengo span for instance).

There's definitely something not right there. Are they being bitbridged or docked? You should definitely be able to have as many VST UIs open at the same time as you want.

Ya got me bud! I did a standard install of 32 bit version. I haven't been working in 64 bit as I like a lot of my 32 bit plugs.

I have only installed X2 this week as I had been finishing a couple large projects - Initially not very stable and I definitely had the graphical bugs as mentioned above by perfect print.
I just installed the quick fix last night and shall now run X2 to see if things are better. One hopes so as some of the improvements do look exciting.
