I'm curious to know what will be included for those (apparently few) of us using Studio.  I really hope that Replace Synth is included.  I've desired that ever since I started using Sonar.

I also wonder if SonarPlus will work with X2, or better yet, if SonarPlus's functions will be a part of X2 so that those of us who don't like MultiDock can bypass it.  I know that the gentleman who gave us SonarPlus is now working for Cakewalk, so there's hope.

I have to admit,I posted before,before I'd watched the 59 second promo.

It looks alright,although you have to wonder what the gag about "connection lost" alludes to?

Thankfully,it basically looks like a major upgrade of X1,so hopefully not a whole new learning curve,and YES,those of us who already have X1D Producer Expanded,I do hope OUR upgrade costs,are in line with the fact that we have BOUGHT EVERYTHING POSSIBLE ALREADY!,and our move to X2,won't be like starting over!

What's the difference b/w a take lane and a layer? Anyone know?

I think they are one and the same and the poster simply used jargon from another product.

"Take Lanes" is a new X2 term...

Thanks. I missed that and saw it this evening.  I wonder what it's about now.

If it make you feel better I got GR5 for $79 last month. I just bought Kontakt 5 for $59. LOL I would have paid more for Kontakt.

where did you find Kontakt for $59!!! I need that in my life I was ready to pay $140 for a crossgrade only to have my car go down and me have to use that money to replace my starter     

+1....Ditto that...I'd of turned a backflip to get it for $59....I was REALLY tempted to pay the $140 and then the $199 for Komplete...but didn't..and NOW I'm happy I didn't....I got a whole lot more usefulness for a whole lot less thanx to the Waves Voucher program...

If you guys want to get these deals just sign up for Native Instruments e-mail notices. Yeah it can be a pain deleting from time to time but I got Guitar Rig 5 Pro upgrade from 4 Pro  for $39.00 and they offer other good deals like the one John speaks of too..

It's a vicious cycle

Automation lanes are an option in SONAR X2. You can still use X1 style automation as you always have. In SONAR X2 you have the choice of using automation on top of clips (using Edit Filter) or using automation lanes. You can change at will at any time.

 
Nice.
 

I've got my fingers crossed for a pop up over the ghosted data, that'll keep me happy.

BIG time!

Yup, everything looks all gooey good...bright and shiny right now...yippie yay!  Think I'll wait, as per usual, till the rubber meets the dang road.  Do have to admit I found the constant "lost connection...re-establishing connection" bits in the video rather puzzling.  Hope this isn't a subtle hint as to what the future of X2 might hold.

Well, the new audio engine is 64 bit 

384 Khz...but it still doesn't seem to be gapless..

It says...addresses gapping in common operations..

Anyone have a 384 capable interface?

As for your soundcard..  I'm having a few audio troubles too.  a lot of my troubles went away with proper system tweaks.. You are using windows 7 home premium?

Even with system tweaks, I am getting the occasional dropout, but nothing like it was before..  plus, I think Cakewalk knows it, and they have probably done some tweaking for X2...  I'm not worried though about the whole, "paid update/upgrade." thing..  I know some guys have complaints..  but you know..  when you want to the next model car, or the next model tv, or the next model software...

:-)

cheers

Are you using Balance as well? I am on Windows 7 home premium yes. When I called support on this issue the first time they had no idea what Balance was or Propellerhead for that matter. It was very disencouraging to say the least but I called last week spoke with a guy named Dan who had been helping me via e-mail support (though sometimes waiting over a month to email me back) and apparently this issue will not be fixed in x1. I am definately demoing X2 first but if these issues are not fixed I am highly considering going Studio One 2 Professional with a crossgrade rather than Sonar X2 Producer Expanded which is where I will likely go if I upgrade with Cakewalk. I love the Cakewalk plug ins and have not had a single issue with those in any environment I have tried them in. 

SORRY FOR THE OFF TOPIC TO ALL OTHERS...I COULD NOT HELP MYSELF 

Hi xabiton
Are you saying that Cakewalk rep Dan is acknowledging there is an issue with Sonar and your BSOD’s. The reason I ask is that this makes no sense. I may be reading it wrong.
 
I agree with some of what LP is saying...usually a BSOD with the cache manager error message is one of a few things...you point out one of them there are others... failing RAM and/or hard drive, not enough memory (RAM) on the machine, miss-matched RAM, bad device drivers or something starting up in Windows.
 
My gut is that this has nothing to do with Sonar needs a patch but its more something with the PC. The thing is what if you go and buy another DAW and have the same issues? Try the demo 1^st.
 
Every 3-5 years I have to re-install Windows so I keep an extra hard disk drive around to install to and run a dual boot. I can then copy what I need from on drive to the other. Jut a thought on what LP said about re-installing windows. Or go buy some matched RAM from the store test it and bring it back if it still crashes.
 Hate to see someone not being able to use a DAW like X1.
 
Good luck brother.
