I never understand cakewalk. One minute they are jumping in answering questions and then suddenly the p..... everyone off by not answering a simple question "Where is the manual"
Is it that hard to answer. Show a little respect to your customers. Its makes life easy for everyone.

Ok guys - this is getting a little ridiculous. Yes we realize you want a manual in pdf format. Fair enough, but many of you keep asserting that there is no manual - at all - telling you how to do things.

It's simply not true. Everything is in the CHM file, fully searchable and comes up when you hit F1. It has all the info 8.5 had. Go ahead...pick a topic and search it. I just checked...and it's all there.

And there is a pdf in the download telling you how to work all the new features. It's there in your account ready to download.

So please refrain from telling people and asserting that there is no help and no way to learn the new features (or the old ones for that matter). Because it's just not factual.

The problem is some of you want it in pdf form. That's fine, but please let's stop blowing it out of proportion and spreading misinformation, ok? Pretty please?

Plus, you don't have to run the CHM help file within Sonar. Just navigate to the Sonar folder in Windows Explorer and double click the CHM file. Not the same as a PDF, I know, but it will do for the moment.

You deserve a beer Brandon - I don't know how you guys are putting up with all this 

Good idea!!!

I've heard the end of the world is coming Dec 21 2012...

Do I believe it?

Here you go...
 
   
 
Oh... I see - you said manual

For those who prefer to 'learn it from a book'?

 
LOL
 
 

I don't know how many would appreciate it, but I certainly appreciated the Fawlty Towers reference!!!

I don't care if I'm annoying anyone by asking this again and again. We've all heard that it's coming, but doesn't anybody want to know when it's coming? If this has been posted, I apologize, but if it hasn't...WHEN IS THE MANUAL GOING TO BE READY?
Call me a 'troll' or whatever it is these net geeks say these days...Say whatever it is that makes you feel important and superior or relevant; I don't care. The fact is, I would like a manual to learn the DAW. I'm not one of these 'click here and see what it does' type of users. I sit, with manual in hand and flip through it page by page and test out every little function. My studio displays are for working on music- not reading help menus or pdfs. I like to sit back in my captain's chair-relax and read the text, then apply what I've read. I print up all of my pdf manuals. When Cakewalk staff and brown-nosers respond back with tone regarding this or other bug-related issues it further validates what another user posted-that X1 was rushed-for whatever reason. Just give us an answer on when the full pdf manual will be ready. I've never bought a piece of software-especially a DAW that didn't come with a full user manual. Pushing us toward an unprintable help file is unacceptable and again implies what seems quite obvious. Did you really think we wouldn't notice there was no user manual?! I guess you thought the bug pile-up would keep our minds off of the manual huh? Unbelievable...

"We've long ago accespted the reality that hard copy manuals are not cost effective. "

And it's a relief to know that software prices across the board have dropped accordingly, since manuals are a thing of the past.  Oh, wait ;P

Again, is there an unsubscribe button for participated threads? Some of these are just too much....

Thanks susan!

Did you read what Brandon just said? You already have a manual. Sheesh.

Wow! Enough said.
