Generally has been flawless here.  So far only in a testing mode so far.  Should be doing a Full Band Live session next week....Got my fingers crossed

A few little tweaks for the bakers to make to get X2 awesome, but I am using it without crashes since the 308 quick fix. I don't feel the need to go back to X1 at all.

@Silicon Audio... I thought I'd be running X2 alongside X1 until I got used to it and was sure it was stable. As soon as I started using X2 I haven't looked back. It's just far easier to use from a workflow standpoint even with the occasional crashes (remember I haven't installed the quick fix yet). Definitely needs a patch though.

    I have had 3 crashes with it, about one per session I have done with it though I have been doing different things so I am not sure the reason.    I have had a few instances where while recording it wasn't showing the waveform so I wasn't sure if it was actually recording or not.   
    I am not crazy about the Comps in the pro-channel as I hear them as a volume knob.... for some reason I cannot hear these 2 particular compressors actually changing the transients at all, so I've opted not to use them in favor of others.  
   I really like the new transport section, the slider is a nice touch.
  
I hate the colors, and the fact that I am always struggling to figure out what track I am freaking looking at.     I am sure I'll get used to it...

I've had great luck with using X2 every day so far - no instability, no crashes, everything rock solid.

I like the new features like take and automations lanes, the way the tools work now and the new PC features, Aim Assist and so on. I haven't given it a good work out yet.
The big issues for me right now are,
   1.Track levels get automatically automated somehow. (I have it set to touch not overwrite.)
   2.No level meters during record or playback in track view mostly. (A BIG problem) Cake might have the fix for this shortly.
 
   3.None of my X1 projects I pulled up in X2 work properly. Dumb stuff like auto track zoon don't work.
 
Other than that it's not so bad.

If you are using console emulation at all or even Rmix or loading old projects with the sonitus per track eq you definitely want the quickfix. Otherwise some of your instability is very likely to be related to issues already fixed. There are no negative side effects to installing the quickfix. At this point its pretty well tested by the userbase so its as good as any official release would be.

I really like it but I do get white screen, random hard crashes more than I ever did after X1d. It does need a tested update/patch and it should be a real winner.

Would love to see the aim assist work on midi notes like it does on clips by putting the line on the side of the note but I guess that is a feature request.

oops, I didn't see Noel's post above...

Thanks, Noel. I've just been lazy about it because the issues aren't even that bad or common for me and I'm in the middle of a project. Just the odd blip and blurp and it seems to recover quickly. I might do it tomorrow though. Is there a chance it'll mess anything up with my current project? Maybe I should finish it off before messing around. Cheers.

Oh and I'm not using the console emus or RMix in this yet and it is a project that started in X2.
