Guyz ...i'm not using 8.5 ....lol my bad if i've not been clear ...i use X1 , have still 8.5 installed and i already have X 2 but not installed ...;)

I think every update has at least "that one thing" that makes it worthwhile.  For me it's Breverb.  I think it's a huge leap forward compared  to other included verbs.  For those that already have outstanding third party reverbs, this might not be a bog deal, but for me it helps tighten my plugin pool considerably.

I wasn't having any problems before I installed it and now I'm still not having any problems.

X2 is running like a champ !!

That's my small dilemma - Cake states on the download page that if you're not having problems, no need to install. I chose to not install. But that goes against what I normally would do.

It seemed to have fixed the blank PC issue. So far so good.

I've been following the X2 stuff and my impression is that the Pro Channel is still the main culprit. I could be completely wrong so please correct me. The issues with displaying PC modules seems to need a permanent fix but I'm unaware of anything else that big. The Pro Channel seems to be the backbone in Producer so I use it as my barometer in Xn stability.

Is anyone summarizing the bugs and fixes with X2?

lol guyz ...

Jumpy console ? ( can you elaborate ?)

the thing is that i'm on SSD and each GB is priceless and so X2 mean 8.5 out !!!! and so id on't want to screww things for nothing (uninastllling a previous sonar install is like when my wife come and say "we need to talk " !!! lol) 

so x2 is as ok as x1 or not yet ?

The fact that X2 ran the first time I clicked on the icon makes it better than X1.
Seriously though, I've had only 1 ProChannel redraw episode before the quick fix and none since.
I'm about to finish the last if my testing on the rig in my signature and I don't think 8.5 is going on it. X2 only as far as SONAR goes.

Before quickfix 308 I had one crash while adjusting settings in pro channel on the master bus. After installing the patch its been smooth sailing here.

Had some problems with frequent crashes before, big difference after nearly 0 crashes. Can actually work in the program now.

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. 

Sidroe,
As you can see I have a bit more of 100 posts in this forum. I'm using Cakewalk begining from CW 6. I'm absolutely "not negative" and I think that Sonar concept is the best for me. I'm only facing the problem I described and I have to complete a mixing session (!!!). This is the only place where I should find an idea to get out from this situation. Really I'm not negative and I love the work done by Cakewalk crew.

I too would normally install patches whenever they came out, but I have learned through some painful lessons to be more careful.  I evaluated and chose NOT to install the quick fix, as I do not seem to have any issues with anything it addresses.


Hope that helps your decision making process.
