I do have a question about the content. They stated that track layers are gone and have been replaced with the new track lanes. If I open a project created with a previous version that included layers will they be converted to lanes?

Good question. I also use layers quite a bit.

Brandon, Seth... 

Great job on the video.  I pre-ordered X2 and can't wait to get my hands on it. Thanks for the hard work and time you guys put into these webinars. Awesome stuff!! 

Metronome start/stop while audio is playing ??? really ??? :) 

I think I'm gonna cry .... 

Next related feature: PLEEEEASE allow us to record (or actually bounce to clip) the metronome buss .... please please please please.... that would make me pre-pay up until Sonar X10 .... 

Thanks guys !

Why is it exactly that we can't toss the metronome onto a track? Is it just an oversight or is there some kind of fancy technical mumbo jumbo getting in the way?

Tom,


Thanks for the kudos. Layers from projects in X1 and earlier open in lanes automatically in X2, so there is nothing to worry about.

V,


Assuming those are tears of joy?  Not sure I understand, but why would you want to record your metronome track? You can do it with an internal loopback of your audio interface, if it supports it. Or you could make a metronome track out of TTS-1's percussion sounds and a MIDI track.

You can route it to any Bus. Is there a difference if its routed to a bus or a track? Either way you can adjust its volume on the fly, add an effect if desired (I actually use the PC4K Expander/ Gate on mine to tighten up the sound), or mute it at any time (of course now that can be done by the COntrol Bar).

Thanks Seth but I meant to actually get the clicks onto a track to manipulate it. Here's a few examples where I'd use it that way. 1) I like to leave at least a few bars at the start of my tunes (in case I want to add something at the start without moving all the clips) so being able to just have a four or eight count before the music starts and then turn it off/snip it once the music starts would be useful. 2) Songs that have silence or just ambient sounds in the middle where a brief count in to the next part. 3) Having click tracks or click intros on mixdowns for practicing parts on a regular stereo or another computer without Sonar. I know some of this can be done with automation or using a MIDI drum track instead of metronome but it would just be a lot easier to bounce/record the click track and edit it would be a lot easier IMO. No biggie. It's just something I realized would be useful the other night while I was tracking some stuff. If I ever needed to anything like that I'll just use SD3 and the step sequencer. It's just more steps and screwing around, yanno?

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy..... Automation modes. The overwrite mode seems to be just what I was missing in Sonar. Am I wrong when I think the "old" pre-X2 default mode was"touch"?

Oh... and I'm snagging X2 as soon as I fire up my rig. I guess I won't have access to TH2 lite until X2 is released. Correct? Kind of wanted to play around with it while I waited.
