John, I use the same settings for the same reasons, but that is definitely not working as expected in X2a

It is indeed in quite a state in X2. I remain stunned that Cakewalk have nothing to say about this.

I mean, we're not talking about some obscure compatibility issue here, it's their own hardware, sold specifically - and still on sale - as having "tight integration with Sonar". It's outrageous.

John, for some reason I can't send a reply to your message I seem to be getting a lot of server errors which may be related to your problem.

So I guess it's still not safe enough to jump in the water yet?

My very strong suspicion is that they've essentially abandoned it. 

I bought the full Vstudi 700 system last week and I am having problems with intregration in X2.  I do hope they havnt abondened it as I have paid a lot of money for this system.  They will be getting the whole lot back if they have.

I bought the system due to "tight intergration with sonar.."

Exactly my complaint. I could have bought a pretty good *car* for the money it cost. Abandoning it is not on. And even if it's not abandoned, "oh, yeah, we'll get around to that" is just plain not good enough. X2 has been out for four months and v700 support has sucked, hard, for every day of that.

And nobody from Cakewalk even bothers to talk about these issues. It's a really poor show. And I can't see how this wall of silence is expected to get anyone *less* annoyed. Amateur hour from top to bottom, is what this is.

Hi Gary, Welcome to the "club" of VS700 owners. You'll find many of the arguements here are based on what the other users want the VS700 to do. Please take your time and catalog what doesn't work for you and why. The VS 700 is short of perfection with its intregration with Sonar X2a. The integration is still very tight in the aspect of recording and editing music. I am using X1d P.E. with it right now. 8.5.3 PE was toughted as being the tightest version.
Much of the wailing in this forum is due to in-experience and features and command structures that owners-users want. Many expect the  V700C to conform to anything they throw at it. I wish Midi worked that way and every software developer wrote programs for the VS700. I don't think the surface has been abandoned. We shall see. There was an update recently. I have been through several, both software and firmware. The DAW is a progressing art, even at the higher end of equipment.
