Sorry to say, but with the little shown/said and the notice that there are now automation lanes and I guess you guys have decided to join the rest of the gang... I guess It's nearing time for me to seriously consider going over to ProTools for industry stability as it's so much the "standard" in so many places...

You're leaving me no other choice as "you" rapidly approach becoming a left-field, PT clone....

I hope to be convinced I'm wrong, but my first gut reaction has me already...

A very sad day for me as some of the other enticements look interesting... <sigh>

Now I'm gonna be "stuck" with X1 for I don't know how long... I've never been happy about it and I'm getting another big push....

I can't believe I'm already so agitated...

You must mean DOWNGRADE to Pro Tools!?
Are all the new features inside X2 + all the features that are already in X1 too much for you?

I've not used lanes before but I rather imagine they'll eat up screen real estate rather quickly. At least there's the new old way though. Hoping for a pop up on the ghosted data. Have I mentioned that before?

I'm hoping it's just a simple toggle to enable lane automation on/off Karl

X2 has a color editor? Looking at the first look video 0:31 - 0:34 clearly show an editor.

That promo was a blast to my senses!!! That Looks AWESOME! I had to pause a bit to be able to read and study everything in the YouTube video

That promo gave me a headache, and annoyed me more than informed me. By now I am assuming that there is actually a list of features that Cakewalk is working from and not just a dummy list to flash-pan by in tiny little print on a low-res video to give the impression that a product is in process.


Where can I find the same information [sic] in print?

Luckily it appears we won't be forced into that.... I often WANT to see all envelops (or at least a set of them) at the same time yet I don't want to "waste" my very limited, precious screen real estate...

I may find times when the lanes are faster than discovery of envelope as it is in X1... But I'm hoping that issue was addressed as well........?

I'm not sure sure Pro Tools would float your boat then - at least, I don't think so (maybe version 10?). But from my experience in PT you see automation envelopes one at a time OR in lanes. I never looked to see if there was an option to have multiple envelopes at once because that's not how I work anyway, but if it's there, it's hidden somewhere.

Still looks the same... no new color controls. Unless hidden in the 100+ new UI improvements.
Full screen mode should help. 
Improved install experience... much needed. 
I'm not going to get too excited about BREVERB yet or another amp sim. 
MIDI/Audio sync enhancements sound interesting.
Matrix improvements might be nice... I haven't quite gotten the hang of the current i/f.
Producer line of FX Chains... is that like Presets? 
Chinese version? Will it have a Moo Goo Gai Pan control? 

Agree! That was my first thought too? Fantastic update many new features and stability fixes but still they continue use this grey boring console view?
Hasn’t Cakewalk learned yet what we all want? I though it were now perfectly clear that everyone want to use! A dark console view, not grey!
As many like to refer too  "the industry standard"-DAW, haha….Pro Tools has it in dark console too. LOL

cake2010- doesnt look very interactive, probably just a marketing mockup to show the graphical redesign of clips.

The color table you see is part of the dev kit used to make the clips. It's on the factory side not on the user side. We thought you might like a peak at how we make the cake.

I thought so too...
