Beepster you missed a great webinar. X2 is going to shock you. It makes X1 look like a toy.

@John... Yeah, everything I've seen so far about it seems to be implying that. Just a couple specific questions... Is the early adopter price for Producer users still $99? How long will the DSF special be valid for? I saw them mention it can be preordered but when will we be able to actually get our hands on it? Cheers.

Okay... I found my answers here http://www.store.cakewalk...ductid=10-CXSP2.00-20E Cheers.

I don't know Beep. I wont buy it now but when it comes out. I have everything already that they could offer me. 

@John... Do you have the DSF strings package? If so how good is it? Like ultra realistic or just so so? I am very interested in stuff like that for composing epic "classical" pieces and adding to more contemporary tunes. Cheers.

And yeah... I can't really afford it but I'll probably snag it anyway. I won't even be installing it until at least a couple months after the full release though because I want to see what others say first.

Wait a minute... "Special Offer: Download a Free Symphonic Strings expansion pack for Dimension Pro ($149 value) when you buy SONAR X2 Producer today. DSF Symphonic Strings HD is a collection of string ensembles with 1.7 GB of HD samples and 100 programs. Includes Basses/Celli/Violas/Violins arranged in Large Ensembles, Small Ensembles, Individual Sections, Cinematic, and Effects." When they say TODAY... do they mean today as in September 5th or just preordering it? This is important as I'd have to shuffle some money around to make it happen today.

I'm in your boat Beepster. I decided I'm not gonna do the shuffle/run to make it happen today. If they keep the offer up for awhile I may jump on it. I hate high pressure sales. I found this:
http://www.digitalsoundfactory.com/products/orchestral-strings it's only $29. Is that the same package?

Hi, bluzdog. Andrew just confirmed it will be available for any presales so no big rush. Also that does not seem to be the package. It is actually selling for $149. That confused me as well and I'm not sure what the difference is. More info here... http://www.store.cakewalk...ductid=10-CXSP2.00-20E

That's a Sound Center package - pretty sure Symphonic Strings is for Dim Pro, but it might be the same
