Yea, pretty obvious Cakewalk been holding him back. As hard as it to let him go I guess it's for his own good and one day I'll be able to say I knew him.  Fair thee well

When children get older and start to get strange thoughts/behavior they usually leave the house with bad feelings. Just give him a couple of years and he will be back on the doorstep with $149,00 and he will see that the upgrade is gone and will have to pay full price for X3.

Why?  Because Sonar is the only valid DAW?

I have many songs that I did using Sonar so I will not be giving it up nor any more of my money. I will just be using a new DAW for all newer songs and the biggest benefit is that a Pro Tools "Pro" is willing to mix and master for me until I learn Pro Tools.
I had Pro Tools when it was first released for Windows. At the time I was a noob to the recording mixing mastering world and the support was non-existent at the time. So I sold my MBOX and went to Sonar which was very well set in Windows OS and worked well until X2.
 
When children get older they do what...? They move on and in this case this is what I am doing. We all have to grow up sometime right? Do you still live with your parents?
 
 

 At first I thought for sure this was a paid for PT spam. Starting to think it's genuine customer support failure from the Cake. FWIW I went the same route a few years ago to find the grass was not greener over there when it comes to compatibility and support.
 Though I had minimal issues with X2 and XP it's clear that many had issues. I consider it a big mistake for a software company to drop support for a product once the new product has been released.
 I now have win 7 64 and X3 and loving it, but I still think it's a mistake to leave X2 not fully baked. Who knows, their marketing department might think by not patching X2 it will force the folks that are having issues with X2 to upgrade and in some instances it might do that, but there are going to be a certain percentage of users that get feed up and move on.
 I think it would be beneficial in the long run to support the previous version for at least a year after the new version has been released.
 I also think it's pretty important to get a demo out as quickly as possible so folks that are riding the fence can make a decision.

Certainly not, but I think under the circumstances, the decision to chuck the baby with the bathwater is more from frustration than a logical one. The possibility is that PT will also have it's issues on his system and he will find less than adequate support from Avid as well. There will certainly be advantages and in the end it may be discovered that both Sonar and PT can co exist on the same PC and he will have uses for both.
 
In any case I really do wish you well and success Meno.

Thanks ohgrant ... I agree with what you are saying. It was very hard for me to spend the money and make the decision to go to Pro Tools. I really wanted to stick with Sonar.
I actually had a post called ..."X3 Marketing" in the Sonar section and you will see my reasoning flawed or not.
 
Fixes and Enhancements
Pure refinement.
 
(Their own website stated) "SONAR X3 includes over a hundred finely tuned tweaks, little enhancements and general improvements throughout, inspired by customer feedback, making it the most refined and solid version of SONAR yet."
 
When I asked if a patch was to be released I was scolded by Cakewalk and members of this forum. Bill Jackson was at least civil and said  "The word "Fixes" is misused, in my opinion."
 
I was also told by Cakewalk support that they were going to send me a X3 demo so I could try it out before I upgraded to see if the issues were corrected. But that never happened because they later told me they made a mistake and it was not avaliable.
 
Thank you for understanding and wishing me luck.
 
Peace,
John
