I set up my IvoryII and Symphonic Orchestra Gold programs in X2, made a demo recording, printed out some sheet music, and Sonar X2 is running like a champ !! No hiccups at all !! I set up templates that have my programs all setup and ready to record. So I can just open up those and get busy recording in no time. I set up a couple of screen sets so I can toggle back and forth between track view with PC, and console view. Very pleased so far !!
