Running great on an older Q9300 + Focusrite 18i6 here, with just some of the graphic/glitches mentioned above.   But very stable.

... didn't save once during the session and everything saved & closed nicely at then end.

You dig living on the edge eh? :O)

I don't dig it, but I deliberately threw caution to the wind just to see what happened on this one occasion.

It's not my normal Modus Operandi

Guitartrek, have you tried running X1 again after the install? That's my real concern.

Yes, I've run X1 since installing X2, and it has worked okay so far.

I have X1 and X2 installed on my system - win 7 64 bit, Intel i7 2600k @ 4.5GHz and 8 gb ram.
I installed X2 and used it for a couple of days, found it unstable (in my case mainly very strange graphics bugs) so went back to X1.

X1 is running as it did before install of X2 and is very stable.

The only thing MIGHT be (and I do say might as I think I may be being just slightly more paranoid than usual!!!) is there may have been the odd minor graphical hic up (jumpy console screen sort of thing) but I REALLY do mean minor.

To be honest I don't think if I were you I would bother with X2 just yet - I am busy at the moment and I could probably have done without the distraction of a few days wasted trying to get used to the new features - personally X2 is "retired" for me until first patch, which will hopefully sort out the weird behavior.

Quite stable for me. When I think back over the last three years or so Sonar has always been quite stable for me. I'm not sure that I can recall any stability issues that could be directly attributable to Sonar.

I can recall issues that were caused by external devices while I was in Sonar but to me that isn't a Sonar, that is the external device. As an example: my current rig can lock up if I am, say watching a training video, and using a DAW (doesn't have to be Sonar). This can occur very randomly...I can go for hours (days) doing both and it is fine. I leave the room, go to sleep, and come back and all input devices are dead. Only recourse is a reboot...could be me going to sleep (lol)?

But Sonar itself is quite stable, though there are a few items that could be called bugs or workflow issues that I think can still be improved upon. Such as I like the increased functionality Track Lanes provide but I think they still need work.

Regards,

there are regulars here that always have problems with updates or new versions. I usually have very little issues if not improvement. Am i really that lucky?

I found I had more stability issues working with projects started in X1. Seemed to be better with new projects although still had several crashes a night at times plus aload of weird graphical glitches. If stability is hyper important for you then I'd recommend you wait at least until x2a arrives and see how it fares.

I spoke too soon.

I dragged the Channel Tools plug from the browser to the Pro Channel and BANG!!

I didn't lose too much but my confidence has been shattered.

Tempted to do a reinstall
