except on new plugins ....on the core app ....is it ok ?

Zo - I LOVED 8.5 - X2 is an EXPONENTIAL leap forward.

Why don't you try downloading the free trial for 30 days?

The complete redesign of the user interface is a fabulous transformation.  It used to be a seriously complex beast - some things are a bit more annoying to get to, but just until you get used to them.

It is REALLY worth it, and is DEFINITELY better than X1, and CRAZY better than 8.5

  Zo, I too am still on the fence about purchasing X2. I mean it won't improve my engineering capabilities any better. I guess I am waiting to hear a stable testimony from the die hard fan of X2. Peace

Here nothing changes. Continuos drop audio and no answers from CW. Probably it's a problem related to some driver conflict or Graphic card not working properly. I really don't know!!! this is what's happening: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63155662/My%20X2.mov

Jesse, slightly different environment between you and Zo.  It seems like he is currently using 8.5, while you are using X1D.

For him, he would get a much more substantial set of benefits than you would, including - for him:

1.  Complete redesign of the user interface
2.  I believe there is a newer version of Rapture, as well 1.2.2 I think
3.  Pro-Channel (BIG-TIME nice thing to have)
4.  Automation Lanes
5.  Saturation Knob
6.  New effects and amp modeler
7.  Side-Chaining
8.  A BUNCH of little improvements, and a bunch of internal improvements
9.  Screen Sets
10.  Improved 'Preferences' section

I had X1 and just switched to X2.  I find X2 to be quite comfortable, stable, and worth the upgrade.  The audio engine improvements alone are worth the upgrade, and the Automation Lanes are too.

As I suggested, since both X1 and X2, (or for him 8.5 and x2) can live quite nicely on the same computer, I would recommend to BOTH of you that you download the trial and test it all out.

Really - give it a try,

Piangio, I don't know why those changes would cause problems.

Sorry, 

Bob Bone

Thank You Bob... Another fatal error. Click and make a selection on a folder track and X2 crashes...

Piangio - 
I don't know if you answered this previously or not - but it would be helpful if you would post your complete system specs in your "signature" of your posts - that way somebody who wants to help you out has an idea of what your are running, etc. It doesn't matter most of the time but definitely makes a big difference when you are looking for help.
I viewed your video but couldn't tell exactly what was happening - Is the Audio engine stopping on each of the "clicks" that is occurring when you move the various aspects of the project around the screen? It would help if you also listed your audio driver mode, your reported latency, your buffer settings etc - 
In my own case, on an older Quad core processor I can do most of what you show on the screen without any interruption to the audio engine, and with (perhaps) only the slightest dropout of audio at all - but no "clicks" or "pops" etc - 
BTW - sounded like a nice tune if it wasn't "clicking" all the time - LOL

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63155662/System.pdf Ignore the win XP partion anymore used. As you see, almost everytime I click on Pro channel (or sometimes on any other widget and so on...) audio drops. Note that if I open 4 sessions of Omnisphere and I browse, select presets, play, Sonar goes flawlessly. I tried with all possible values of buffer size without improvement. I'm waiting for a new graphic card 2GB instead of gt9400. I tried a total re-installation of X2 but with no success. I also tried asio4all instead of my konnekt48 drivers: no success. What else can I do?

I used to drop in on this forum for years before I actually became a serious Cake user. I have seen less negativity with the release of X2 than any other upgrade of a Cake version.. I don't know if anyone else has noticed that. I know this forum went crazy when they released X1! Sometimes it was just brutal some of the posts that were on here. This release, even with some of the install issues,seems to be a very positive one. I know other than the Rapture install issue, so far, this has been the most seamless upgrade so far for me.
