    I'd say it a "re imagining" of Cakewalks flagship product, SONAR. Every 10 years or so, Cakewalk has traditionally invigorating their line of top quality audio software and starting with the SONAR series itself as a then modern-day successor to the Pro Audio series of software, Cakewalk now introduces their next iteration of a modern-day audio software suite ...

    How's that?

    Well...it's definitely the successor to 8.5...as to what's the difference that's in the eye of the beholder.  BTW, playing your guitar behind your head is so last generation.  Unless your scratching the back of your neck in which case you need to see a dermatologist.

    X is the Roman numeral for 10.  So X1 is one more than 10.  Eleven! 

    Eleven is two more than Pro Tools 9, isn't it?

    That makes it 20-40% better, right?

    Technically it's not roman numerals.
    Otherwise it would be XI
    Instead it's X1

    So I assume the next versions will be X2, X3, X4, and so on.
    Rather than XII, XIII, XIV


    I always wonder if they'd have done better ditching the name Sonar altogether, then started with a fresh new product.

    "I always wonder if they'd have done better ditching the name Sonar altogether, then started with a fresh new product."

    I'm sure they thought about it, but if you read some of the posts here, the name SonarX1 confused people enough. 

    The Sonar brand has always been received by reviewers, and now most users are pretty knowledgable about what other DAWs do (and don't), so I hope X1 really does help CW expand their base.  I think it will.

    Uhhhhhhhh....... to those confused.

    The product is called Sonar X1, not X1. X1 is the same (product branding wise) as 8, 7 etc..

    Look at the box for Sonar 8, look at the box for Sonar X1. See the similarities?

    Confusion: gone.

    Then they would have had to rename the company too!

    Twelve Tone Systems --> Cakewalk
    Cakewalk --> Sonar
    Sonar --> "X1"

    Sonar --> "X1"  <-------- Not Entirely Correct IMHO

    I don't think it works like that because the only "company names" I see are TTS (I wonder if that's what the synth is named for :p) and Cakewalk!


    The CPA, Sonar + the iterations are just a part of the PRODUCT line from the COMPANY.


    The "Cakewalk Sonar" is just that. Company + Product. The only thing that as changed is the product name. CPA-> Sonar. The numbers used to signify updates, [1-8.5.3] will end up being just that with the "X"(Y, Z) line, When they have exhausted the "Sonar" brand name, they will call it something else. No way do I see them dumping Twelve Tone Systems or Cakewalk for something like X1. That's like Roland or Yahama using brand name synths as their company name or anything and everything else in general. In TTS's case, that seem quite "atonal".

    Actually, I didn't miss anything. Though you may have missed my (admittedly) lame joke. Someone suggested "they'd have done better ditching the name Sonar altogether, then started with a fresh new product." And I said, "Then they'd have to change the company name, too." e.g., Twelve Tone Systems created Cakewalk, then they changed the company name to Cakewalk and launched Sonar. It would then follow that the new company name would be Sonar and the new product be called "X1".

    The funniest jokes are the ones that require 500 word explanations.  :)

    Okay, I guess my post really failed. For the record, I do realize it doesn't work like that and I do realize the real life product is not called "X1".

    All I know is that people are getting ready to spend money on what appears to be (effectively) nothing more than a new GUI.

    After the newness of that wears off......people are likely going to be pissed.

    This could potentially be easy pickings for Cakewalks competitors.

    I think you will find (in time) this to be an oversimplification.

    I too am still to be convinced that X1 is nothing more than just a new GUI... with a Pro Channel added.

    I won't be buying X1 in the near future.
    I might wait and give the trial version a try at some point next year, or until all the inevitable bugs are swatted.
