Andrew and all the other fine Bakers:
 
I can't understand why anyone might feel that the X2 upgrade isn't worth the asking price.  Sonar is, IMO, by far the best bang-for-buck DAW on the market.  X2 only solidifies this position.  Congratulations on the successful rollout, and best of luck in the future!

Yep, BREVERB and Console Emulation alone make it worth the $99 for me.  BTW, thanks for everybody's info on their installations, etc.  I've been a Cakewalk user since Pro Audio 8 but I've never really hit the forums before.  It's a great resource.

The quick zoom and track highlight sizing was enough for me. Great step up from X1. I will easily get my 99 dollars worth out of it.

X2 is the dogs b******* IMO everything that X1 should have been.  Even with some minor hicups, the support on the forums with X2 from cake staff has been fantastic! Great work Bakers!!! :-)

Thanks for the endorsement.

Andrew,
    I feel it was worth the $99 upgrade price. I bought it and once I learn the new features I am sure that I will take advantage of them. However... I purchased X1, 9 months ago and it came with Guitar Rig 4 (a lite version). I upgraded that, plus a few other plugins(approx $300 total). Lots of hype around TH2 but there are no presets, so I have not had time to figure it out and try it out. A little disappointment there. Of course I could upgrade for another $99.  I am thrilled with Breverb. Not sure what is in the full version, but I will not be spending another $99 to find out. Console emulator? not to that skill level yet. A few of the changes I really like (automation lanes), a few I don't like (seperate lanes for seperate takes, smart tool behavior in automation lanes). The lanes use up too much screen real estate. Obviously cakewalk felt X1 was a good version or you wouldn't have released it. I think X1 is fantastic, by default X2 is also. Honeslty (as a recording non pro) if I lost x2 and was forced to use X1, I could continue with little impact.  Thanks for the link.

Great to hear. I just wanted to point out some of the upgrades and new stuff so people see just how much we have included. 

@Andrew... Sorry to threadjack but could one of you kind Cake fellows take a look at my panning problem a few threads down? I could use some insight before I continue chasing my tail around... and yeah, the statement that X2 doesn't include anything new is pretty silly.

Your inbox is full but thanks, Andrew. You guys rock.

Andrew:
Just for the record I'm happy with the upgrade and the price.  I believe the additions were worth the $99 I spent.  (Well actually, closer to $300 because I sprang for the upgrades for Breverb and TH2.)

Which leads me to my question, do you know if there is a discounted upgrade price for the full version of R-MIX?  As I said, it's one of my favorite new additions to the X2 upgrade and I think I could really benefit from the full version.

Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard to make X2 a great upgrade!
