I'm not surprised to see some people happy about the automation ends... tho I am FAR from being one of those...
I'm hoping they include an option to use the "old" one-lane automation or the new multi-lane...
For me this was a bad choice if it's forced and I'm sure it was in an effort to improve on the myriad of issues many of us have with X1's envelope system...
I'm almost blinded to the many other improvements as this one is so central to my work and has been hurting since X1's release.... Now to get "worse" for me...
Plugins are always fun but as things improve in technology, the many plugins I have area already all I need... But the loss of work-tool-situations is killing me.... <sigh>...
I'm again a very unhappy Sonar user...

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.
Brandon! Thank you a million times over!!!
Now I can hope that the Edit Filter issues that were talked about have been addressed as welll? Pop-up automation envelope names when not yet in envelope edit mode? ...or maybe better/easier-to-see colors for the envelopes when not the center of focus?
Some of the tools have been very handy such as the easy creation of 4 nodes to quickly create an envelope-area....
Now I can relax and look at the many interesting things I see in X2... You've aleviated a lot of my anxiety very quickly and I can't thank you enough for not keeping me waiting to find this out.... Rant over (at least on this topic! ;-))
Now I hope I can get back to touting Sonar over everything else as I always did before X1! tho I admit there are a number of things in X1 that I do enjoy, my work is much slower and more frustrating than in 8.5.3 and I believe that it I didn't like the PC and the wonderful new plugins you've created for it, I may still have stayed with 8.5.3..... I curious trade-off...
Even using Sonar Plus, I still fight with multi-dock issues and keeping the Browser un-docked as I prefer it.... but I'm hoping these were 1st release (new UI) issues and hopefully tightened up in X2....
Now I'm getting excited (in a good way!)
Much thanks once again.... You and the other Bakers are always so on-the-case and easy to talk with as well as maintaining your cool when users rant (such as I find myself at times)....
Keep up the great work!
