How much of a back hander did they bung you?Ĭ'mon the guy is joking about. I hope I have as positive an experience with it when I do take the plunge, meanwhile thanks for your thoughts and perspective!īetter late than never, but we have finally published our review of Sonar X1 here on Audiofanzine: but all in all I get the impression that your overall positive tone is due primarily to having an overall positive experience with X1, as opposed to Twigman's contentious alternate suggestion. I would say in that context that it would be fair to point out, like the ComputerMusic review did, that there really are some longstanding bugs and objectively underdeveloped features that CW has this tendency to leave unattended for version after version.

It strikes me that this review is somewhat more aimed at new users than oldtimers and serial upgraders anyway. So it goes - CW probably knew there was a risk factor in making such a substantial change and I doubt they're entirely surprised by some degree of backlash from people that are more invested in the way things were. You couldn't really comment on bugs that weren't there in the version you were reviewing, so laying that aside - some quibbles but obviously overall the workflow changes seemed positive to you, which they clearly do to many and equally obviously don't to others. I think overall the review was fairly balanced. So, getting, back to the review, thanks for that! - quite useful to me seeing as I have almost an identical desktop setup (I still haven't jumped on the upgrade, waiting for a demo - hopefully not too much longer - and some funds). So I sincerely hope - for their sake, mainly, it's nothing to me - that X1b is getting polishing touches and very careful11th hour testing. I figure that no-one wants a fix for AudioSnap in place more than CW does - with Winter Namm less than 3 days away now I would be very surprised if they want to be standing in that booth with one of their key features flagrantly out of commission while their competitors roll out whatever they've got in the wings.


Definitely a major drag and shouldn't have happened, but really these things do happen, the only question is what the company is going to do about it - and when. It states on the review page that the review was based on a release candidate, and it's already been reasonably well established that AudioSnap was working up to and including at least whatever version they used for the Groove3 videos - it seems to have been broken late in the game and slipped below the radar for release. Call me old-fashioned, but I think throwing around accusations like that should not be done or taken lightly. That's more or less what I was trying to say. With comments like "Are you on the payroll at Cakewalk? How much of a back hander did they bung you?" being called cranky is a VERY polite response!
