Hi,
I had a problem a while back with my system crashing (white screen freeze) and when I changed my build
back to 425, it's been a lot more stable, in fact very few white screens and crashes.
When I buy X2 will I have to move to build 535 (most recent build number) because it worries me 
that my problems could start over again.


Thanks
John

If X2 is like all the previous Sonar versions, it will be a seperate install to X1, so you could have both running on your system, if you so wished.

Yes, all major versions are separate and can all be installed on the same system at the same time, if you'd like. You won't need any of the X1 builds in order to install X2.

Any guesstimate as to the size of the X2 download? My X1 Producer is on discs (4 for everything, X1 soley on 1st disc). My Expanded etc upgrades have been d/ls.

15-20GB For producer, if you d/l everything. I assume it will be broken out like X1 (i.e. several files for the app itself, DimPro, Beatscape, docs etc.)

Im using sonar 8.5 producer and then there was an offer to upgrade to  sonar X1 for $99 and free upgrade for sonar X2, I availed that offer. My question: Is it ok not to install Sonar X1 and just wait for sonar X2? 

You don't have to remove anything prior to installing X2

Yes, it's okay to wait. You don't need X1 in order to use X2. They are completely separate installs.


Whenever Cakewalk puts on a new major version, it is always a separate install and doesn't depend on any other previous version.

when will we see a X1 power book or a significant discount on the old stock of x1 power books?

Do you mean when will we see an X2 book?

Scott did mention that he's working on it, bit it will probably be a few months before we see it.

Publishers, printers, distributors, all take time to do their bit
