I have had more crashes with X2 in the last 3 days as I did in the last nine months with X1, actually more crashes in the 2nd day then the last nine months!  Not sure what is goiong on. Just stops and freezes at random times. I haven't been able to see a pattern yet.
 
I have learned my lesson.  Next time, I will try to hold out for a bit. Yes there are some cool things but a few things are a step backwards (take lanes). If I have 3 takes on channel 1 & and 3 on channel 2, I can no longer get all the takes for both on the screen at the same time. I do like the automation lane.
 
Bought the upgrade to TH2, not impressed so far. Why would they make you have to constantly move the "floor" to see everything ?  Guitar rig was nice and compact, everything on the same screen.  I spend more time then ever have clicking and scrolling.  Am I missing somthing?! The "workflow" was supposed to be better in this version. To keep the take lanes minimal, I am constantly moving waves from the new lane it creates for a new take to an existing lane, and then deleting the new lane. again, what am I missing?!  this is not easier. When the take lanes are visible the channel lane is empty. this is a WASTE of screen space!!!!! I have 2 - 20" monitors. With all of the extra borders and empty lanes I am getting only about 2/3 of the information on the screen as I was able to get in X1. 
 
BTW, why is the 1800 page (or however many pages) user manual PDF not searchable?!
 
And when I create a new project and select the defaulted "Noraml" template, its empty. no tracks nothing. Not a major deal, but C'MON!!!!
What am I missing? How is the workflow better? Any vids to show a practical demonstration?  2 steps forwad and 1 1/2 steps back.....

Where did you get the pdf user manual? I wasn't aware that it had been released!

must be the X1 manual then. Overall, not much really changed in X2. It was in my cakewalk docs dir. either way, why would they not make any user manual of that size searchable?!

  I'm getting similar results. white screen of death for no reason, at different times, and i've tried different project files. they have all been X1 work projects that i have opened and then saved as X2 before doing any work on them. I'll let you know how the next few project files [songs] do...

I'm sorry but you are totally wrong and the X1 and X2 PDF manuals are "searchable" by simply pressing Ctrl+F

Where is the X2 pdf manual? I can't find a SONAR X2 pdf file anywhere in my installation..

There is a SONAR.chm file which is searchable.

The reference manual for X2 is here:

Thanks I found it in another thread where you posted the link.
I hadn't checked my account today.

And don't forget to hit Ctrl+F to bring up the search box :)

In three days i have had one random (ie i cannot remember what i was doing) white screen, other than that its been fine...so for stability i would say 2 steps forward and 1/4 step back

as far as "how is the workflow better"..if you didnt see the two long videos then they are worth reviewing...
