@scook... I don't even really want to jump into working with X2 right away anyway. I just want to snag the downloads and have them ready to go when I see what the buzz is on here. It'll also give me a chance to wrap my brain around any changes. I'll just have to see what happens but I'd imagine if they release it the very last day of Sept. my plan probably won't work so well due to heavy server demand and my own weird timing.

@Luteman... 10GB?! OMG that is horrendous. I hover around 15 on my REALLY light months and light to me is no downloads at all. Just poking around forums and streaming low def vids. They should bloody well transfer those download GBs month to month. I friggen' paid for them. God I hate the media moguls here.

Probably a good idea. When you get your d/l link, you can get the manual separately and checkout the "What's New in X2" section. The links will be your account for you to access at your leisure.

Yeah... I figure it'll take a couple a months for the dust to settle. I really REALLY want to make use of some of the new features in it though. Hopefully everyone's installs go well and the bugs are limited to weird obscure power user crud that won't affect me. If that's the case I'll install and run X2 alongside X1 (which I was told I could do) until I'm comfortable enough to plunge right in.

Yes parallel installation (i.e. leaving X1 on you machine and installing X2) is the safe and recommend approach.

Yet another money-pit hobby - and I do appreciate the Cakewalk deals!!

You don't have a Cakewalk coffee mug either? 

No, but I do have a couple of Cakewalk bumper stickers!  (seriously!)

I just took the plunge along with the leveling amp plugin...

This along with Cubase 653 should keep me busy for a while...

The video and type hype is Looking very good for X2 atm...


(small Prayer to the audio gods....  lightning strike me dead if this turns into an X1 dejaVu... )

But for the 90% of us who don't have broadband ... 

  
90%? Really? Where? Timbuktu? 

we are punished by not being able to cash in on the deal at all even if we wanted to ... or we get slammed an extra $30 bucks to get the DVD's

Those of us with broadband are paying $40-50 per month for it. 

A bit expensive. I pay €20 for a 22Mb/s glassfiber connection.

Damn, you guys are lucky for such cheap internet. Here in Australia I'm paying $70/month for just some average broadband. Got to pay an extra $20 or so from the lowest of $50 ish to actually get something reliable that doesn't drop out every 2 seconds... It's fast enough, but does have a tenancy to hang half way through long downloads so the more small packets it is broken into, the better.




As for the upgrade, my credit card says "NO!" But I say "depends on more reviews of the strings pack first".


Spill the beans on whether of not the strings are worth the upgrade now!!!! So far it's looking like a yes, but I think I'll give it a week or two for some more reviews to come up...
