Seeing that the $49 expanded is not available anymore...and not really sure what it is...
 
Looking to upgrade from 7PE for $199 it appears and then another $179 for the prochannel stuff....?
 
And anyone know if ADK or StudioCat can do upgrades on a new computer build?  (I guess I can ask them, but wondering if others had upgraded and had them install the software too on their new machine)

Good question.

X2 includes everything that was shipped with Expanded so you will just need to pay the $199 to upgrade from 7PE - no further payment to get the Prochannel (unless you mean the additional modules that were sold separately).

I could not find it on the StudioCat site, maybe Jim will stop by and clarify how they handle it but ADK does sell SONAR upgrades on their site. The ADK site does not show X2 yet probably because it is only a pre-sale item.

yes I mean the extra pro channel stuff for $179, as it doesn't come with X2.

I probably should have split my questions apart, but I (maybe double) posted in the computer forum about upgrades on a new machine.

From the webinar on X2, it appears that Prochannel extras are included. Since you're coming from 7PE, you have to look at that particular upgrade list to be sure. They usually list what is included.

Maybe this will clear up the confusion

If you buy Sonar X2 you get everything in X1 Expanded plus whatever is new in X2. 

Corrected: Changed Production Suite to Expanded.  Cakewalk needs to stop fragmenting the product into so many different versions.

Erm, don't think so . . . for example, you don't get Z3ta+ 2 or the PC4K S-Type Expander/Gate.
That's why I (and a number of others) fancied upgrading to Production Suite for £70 then qualifying for the free X2 upgrade. We'd be getting more stuff for less money, but Cakewalk pulled that offer when the X2 pre-sale went online. Waited too long . . .
Nevertheless, I pre-ordered X2 and I'm loving the strings, so all's good here 

Is the Breverb included with X2? (I have X1expanded)
