That is frustrating, yes. I have metering issues with X2. So I paid for the upgrade and can't use it.
But, I make web apps for a living and know that no matter how much I test a site, there will be some user somewhere with a different machine, browser, screen size, etc etc that will not have as great of an experience as I'd like them to have.
And I realize that software development such as audio-apps is 1000x worse because they all depend on external 3rd party hardware to run as intended. Does Cakewalk own my interface? No idea. I don't expect them to own everyones because that list of interfaces is huge, let alone controllers, digital mixers, etc etc etc.
So my metering issue can be solved in the next patch. That's cool with me. X1 works and allows me to continue as I was before.
