I am currently a registered Producer 8.5.3 owner. I would like to make the jump now to X1 Expanded. What is my upgrade cost & where do I find it? I have logged in & tried to add it to my cart and I can't seem to?

CW no longer sells X1, you will need to go to a retailer to purchase the upgrade.

You can upgrade to X2 Producer, which includes all X1 Expanded features.

Scook & Bill, Thank you for your replies. I know it's odd, but I don't mind being a version behind to have the satisfaction that the platform is as stable as possible. I haven't heard any feedback on X2 yet, but I fear the kind of instability that so many experienced when X1 came out... If I bought the X1 upgrade through someone like sweetwater music, Could I buy the pack to get X1 Producer expanded? Here or elsewhere?

If you haven't heard any feedback on X2 you need to read this forum more closely.

Fair enough

Given the sizable change from 8.5.3 to SONAR Xx (1 or 2) it seems only logical to simply jump from 8.5.3 to X2. Some things you'll miss in X1 (from 8.5.3) will come back in X2 (and sometimes even better).

Besides 6 months with X2 will be easier on you than 6 months to a year on X1 and then "X" months on X2 "relearning" some things. JMO.

true, that is a good point too.
