@cake2010... Not to me. I am a brand new user of Cake software so I was merely going by the promo materials. Made sure I got the cream of the crop too. Just looking for some answers.

At last Fx chains in Pro channel, thank you.

Cheers
Steve.

Ok, sorry about that. But it´s easy to google the release dates and check what can be expected.

The answer is that X1 what you have won't stop working because there is a new version out - you don't have  to upgrade. Although it is always annoying when the price drops after you just bought something, I can't imagine that anyone could realistically expect any retail business to say - "don't buy this now, 'cos the price is going down next week"

@cake2010... No worries. It was quite a flurry of research getting this all together as it was because I was completely updating my entire set up. I had to deal with computer (which I built), monitors, headphones, interface, the whole shebang as well as the software. The X1 Suite seemed like the right choice for me (and I explored all avenues in that regard). I can chalk certain things up to just my horrible luck but you can see how this might be a little bothersome. Just trying to figure out if any accommodations will be made for a fellow like myself. As I said I paid the premium price for this software only a few months ago. Then the price dropped almost immediately. I was hoping that there might be at least one more update or I'd get to use the software for a year before it became outdated. You can see how that might be bothersome. I'll just have to see what happens. I'm not trying rag on Cake here but I hope that they have kept these things in mind. When it comes down to it full support is my biggest issue. If that is off the table then yes... I will be upset. Otherwise I'll just be annoyed.

Wow this looks exciting.  Not a huge fan of automation lanes, I prefer them over the actual wave .  This is awesome that you can do both!  I am very interested to hear the reverb.  If your like me, you can never have enough reverbs.

I wouldn't mind a new delay, something like the Fabfilter delay plug in.  This might get more use than reverb in alot of situations.  Of course, we could probably all name 20 things we "want" included :)

I'm exciting for it.  It's almost unfortunate, I never open my Pro Tools anymore.  I used to prefer some of the included plug ins, but I think X1, and certainly X2 will have them beat in the 'quality plug' department. ( my opinion of course) 

@Paulo... I understand that. That has nothing to do with what I am asking here. I want to know if my type of situation will be taken into consideration and if so how? That is all. I am not bashing Cake. I just want to know what to expect.

@Beepster I wouldn't worry about it. You are now locked in to affordable upgrades. Look at it that way. Sometimes waiting for the better deal to happen doesn't. That's the way the software market works.

Beepster, I wouldn't worry too much. The trend has been to make the upgrade price very low. It used to be $179. Than with 8.5 it went down to $99. Expanded came in at $49 on sale. So I don't think you will be locked out due to price. Than you can wait a bit for a sale if you want. 

Early adopters always pay a little more. But they get the product to use earlier. Plus they are able to be helpful to other members about it.  Answer questions and find the bugs.

Your X1 will not be unusable and you still can make music with it until you are able to upgrade. So don't be upset or concerned. 

Besides by watching this forum you will learn what works well and what is broken. It will prepare you for what will be coming. 

I look forward to its release and hope it will live up to expectations. It sounds to me like an evolution of X1. 

I was hoping for better notation though.  

@kitekrazy... Yeah I hear ya. I just want to know the Bakers thoughts on this or the other users. As I said I am new to these products so I'm not sure how it all works and someone did mention the possibility that something might be done for folks like myself. Unfortunately some of the other forum users are taking that as whining or bashing Cake. Very disappointing really because that is NOT what I'm doing. I have nothing to bash them for as I don't even know their stance on the issue yet. Peace.
