X1+1 is actually X= -1 algebraically. :-P

:)
 
I am going to try and get the word 'algebraically' into a conversation today

What I find truly interesting is that they seem to have killed off Expanded. It looks like one Pro Channel for everyone, and back to 3 versions in the good, better, best format. Thank goodness that nonsense may be coming to an end. And good on them for putting some work into the existing 64 bit plugs.

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!

Nice.
 


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

Wow, some great additions! Are the clip headers a permanent fixture, or can they be hidden?

Who are you and what is this "pop-up" thing of which you speak?

I just saw the video, and I'm excited.  They added most of the feature requests that I asked for, so I'm looking forward to this version.  Imagine, take and automation lanes!  The list of new things will keep me busy for a while.  I guess I can wait 3 more weeks.

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

Wow! Great job Cakewalk. I'm excited about a lot things with X2. More so, I really appreciate you sharing info early on like your doing. Is it me or is this a new marketing approach? Seems to me Cakewalk in the past has always been too secretive until right before the launch. Maybe my memory fails me but either way this approach it is going to serve you well.

All the best...
