Count me happy. No stability problems. There are parts to the SmartTool enhancements that are so transparent now that I have caught myself giggling (yes giggling!)

Very well thought out upgrade. +1 to the Cakewalk development team.

Oddly, I think track lanes are an improvement over layers, but I find my self questioning the increased real estate that they take up. But that is a pretty niggling (yes niggling!) criticism.

X2 happened to land while I'm in a mixing phase - a little editing, but mostly importing X1 projects that were done except for mixes. 

So, I'm REAL happy because of 1) Auto-Zoom (I love that feature), and 2) automation lanes. Give how much fader movement I do, that's huge for me.

As to stability, I had two crashes when I opened a pro channel module in console view while a project was playing, but couldn't repeat the crash. The Quick Fix seems to have fixed that. I did have one freeze since doing the Quick Fix caused by clicking on the Master module (again, while the file was playing). But I've logged a lot of hours with only these incidents, so I'm not finding the stability problematic.

Very stable. Very happy.

The jump from the 8.5 GUI to X2's has been HUGE for my workflow. It's like they read my mind concerning dealing with the "clutter" of multiple windows and resizing constantly... and fixed EVERYTHING. 

Miguelito... I have also found my self actually giggling...

Best money I ever spent for an upgrade...

Is there any change or improvement in how X2 handles 32bit plugins, or is it the same as X1? 

Is the handling of 32bit plugins any WORSE in X2? 

How does J-Bridge work in X2, who is actually using it in X2? 

Many thanks.

Couldn't be happier. SX2 is running like a champ here.

Since the Quick Fix X2 has been running well for me so far.  Overall I'm pretty happy with X2.

I'm a fanboi, even though I hate that term, especially when it is spelt like that.

I am loving the whole X2 concept, the GUI, Lanes, PC.

My 22 track MIDI Soft Synth only test track is going strong and I am totally happy with X2 in that area.

I've spent the last couple of days concentrating on recording Audio and utilising TH2 on my guitar. That test project has a MIDI drum folder with the usual multi-tracks. On top of that I've got four audio tracks, each with an instance of TH2.

For some reason my CPU core usage has gone a bit weird. The core spread in my MIDI only test project is as expected, with my first core running at arounf 50% and the other 7 at 30%. My new, and quite small audio test project has the first core running at 50% (already) with the remaining 7 hardly reaching 5%. So I don't know what is going on there.

Anyway, I should probably have not mentioned that here, but there you have it.

I suppose that the bottom line, at this moment in time, is I'm sort of happy in some areas and not so happy in others.

I had a couple of crashes prior to the Quickfix - nothing since.

I've got a few minor graphics related problems, but certainly no show stoppers

On a scale of 1 to 10, I reckon it's about a 9 at the moment.
