x2 has things...

I'm with you on the lagging behind on the cost POV.

I may indeed make the jump here the take and automation lanes may just be enough to prompt the jump if only because layers have never worked properly for me, and of course the messy Expanded bolt-on has been swallowed up which was inevitable and welcome.

There's normally a small grace period between release and still being able to get it via the 'buy it now and get the upgrade free' deal to check out the hysteria on release to see whether it is messed up as X1 was.

So I'm waiting and watching and liking the fact that it seems more about refinement rather than radical reform.

I also noticed one of the X1 devout was even saying X2 looks like what X1 should have been...  If it wasn't so funny it would all be very, very sad.

Quality of fit and finish is the only breakthrough Sonar novelty I'd REALLY like to see this time around.

Wait a minute you had X1 from the start.

You had no issues?  How can that be?

There have been 4 major updates fixing a whole rake of issues, and there are still issues dating back from several versions, you mean that it's been fine all along and they went to the trouble of releasing updates for nothing?  Why didn't you tell them?

Are you still in mono?

You can come out of denial now, X1 is dead.  Long live X2.

ALL THE THINGS!

Things are cool, especially when you have all of them.

@jonbouy... I wonder if X2 will come with a free fez... because, yanno... fezzes are cool.

If it comes with a Fez I'll eat my hat.

Yeah. I had those denial issues.


I ignored them.


Simples.

I saw a sign that said "The best things in life aren't things."

I can only assume that the person who wrote it didn't have any.

 
Any best things? Or things? I'm confused cause I don't have either.

and things and more things. clever things. essential things. as a (check no-one is looking, whisper it)sonar 8.5pe user....do i need this - i've seen bristol jonesy and others poo-poo then extol x1, and 2 cycles behind is about as much as i want to get...from a cost as much as anything POV. quite happy with S8.5. steve? james? [pretend firefox can do very small] Ed?

Like a large number of other users, I found the original X1 and X1a were extremely buggy and practically unusable, but from X1b onwards, most of the bugs that affected ME were ironed out.

Since then I've moved on to a new machine, and X1d runs without problems

someone said 'the best things in life are free'. However, I don't believe that EZdrummer had been invented when they said it

 I don't need X2 but I want it...is that wrong?

 I didn't take it personal.

"History" is the thing it really has. Man...with all the "things"
the bakers have learned from X1 back...I think they are probably
going to make a show with X2. I just feel good about it and
hope it is a great release for them and us.

No, it just means I'm rubbing off on you.


Wait....... that really did not come out right.

That pretty much sums it up though. We all want it. I know I'll get it. I'm way behind on X1 improvements and I want those too. I'm still using 8.5.3 PE on the DAW and I don't want to ditch that program either. What's a DAW addict supposed to do?

Now, now...  Don't be making fun of a member's strange or quirky habits. 

Well, still 8.5.3 here.

Two things would be helful (one critical) for me to upgrade:

1) Return of full color flexibility (essential for some personal RL issues).

2) An update to the circa 1987 notation module (not essential as Finale works fine for the initial writing).

So: no upgrade.

Note: for the relatively simple ways I use Sonar, 8.5.3 works just fine.

At some point, if I ever need to go to using just one program rather than the Finale>Sonar process, at present, it couldn't be Sonar, as Sonar's notation is fairly useless for my requirements.
