just ordered!  note: i alway save the download files to disks and print important things to pdf as a backup. Don't need to pay etra $30 for that.  I store them in my Sonar 5 box with all of the other upgrades. :)

I just pre-purchased X2. There was a new welcome kit labeled Sonar X1 welcome kit 2 with Zeta, a DSF coupon and some video teasers. There was also new versions of the PC4K comp and gate and the Symphonic strings. What happens if I hit the download link on X2? I'm looking forward to X2!!

When I clicked the download link I got a text doc stating I would receive an email when it was ready or something. Can't remember the exact text. However... I did not get a welcome package. Maybe that's new... or perhaps I'm not welcome. *sob*

Looks like I'm late to the party. Just paid and DL'd the DSF strings. Turns out I don't like strings. Oh, I love the EastWest Hollywood strings, though. I gush whenever I hear my friend's work with those. These are just strings though... Just like Garritan, Kontakt and so on...

Seems like you gotta pay a lot to get strings worth writing home about (unlike drums and piano)!

As far as I know, you should have received a welcome pack when you purchased X1.  I know they updated it to Welcome Pack 2.
 
When did you purchase X1?
 
As for the CL, I (and many others) think it is WELL worth the money.  It's GREAT on drums and bass, and many other things as well.  Just used it on an acoustic twelve string guitar, and the client BEAMED when he heard it.  His words - "It's like night and ****ing day.."

Heh... I bought X1 in May and likely have all the stuff but maybe there is something extra in there now since I last checked after my pre purchase. I was just joking around really but you mentioned CL... as in Concrete Limiter? We aren't getting that free are we? Naw... it couldn't be. That would make me go from content to exuberant... and that never happens. ;-p

Oh just to clarify I did indeed check my account after I purchased X2 and the only new thing I got was the DSF thingy and some updates for Rapture... I think, can't remember now. I'll check later. I don't feel like doing that boring stuff again tonight.

No, we don't get that free, AFAIK.
 
I just saw a reply to you that read "@Beepster,I wouldn't be too hasty about the concrete limiter,If you need to be real careful[like a lot of us!]as there are other good limiters out there.." and thought that you must have asked about it.  Sorry for any confusion.  I'll go back and see if I missed something in the thread.

Aw no need. I was just talking about how I saw the CL demo and thought it was nice. I appreciate the effort though. It's likely I already have enough to make things sound crazy as it is. I just thought the CL sounded like something that could push my sound over the top. It is certainly something I am now keeping an eye on. Apparently I missed it when it was on sale but back then I didn't even know what the heck it was. n00b problems fer sure. ;-)

I'd keep an eye on the PC2A as well, it's a monster, especially on vocals
