It is simply the case, than the Cakewalk sales guys are so ignorant and uninformed that they think Europe=EU.

Did you try contacting Cakewalk order support in that respect? http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/contact ... pport.aspx

is anybody else as pissed off as i am about how cakewalk left sonar X2 users with a broken piece of software and is charging $150 just for things to work??? this is AWFUL!

I will not be paying $150 just so i can have a stable version of software that I ALREADY PAID FOR!. Cakewalk, this is one very upset customer. I have been with sonar since 8, paid for upgrades and bought several plugins... I feel horribly ripped off...

I got quite a lot of extra content - plus improved stability - with my upgrade.

I totally agree. I am a user of Cakewalk up since 1999 and I had never hit a thing with their products ... I feel rather taken for a ride.

That's funny, you seem to have plenty of time to bitch, Impatience will always lead to screw-ups.

Totally agree. Mostly the X2 period was the worst experience i ever had. I had a lot of crashes and customer support didn't answer . And you are not allowed to sell the software. There was 1 year total silence from Cakewalk , answering the tickets and/or how they will continue. I even asked someone from a big music magazine whats going on there.

It turns out , that all my projects that are crashing, was a problem with v-vocal. So all the work on the vocals were lost and should be re-done with melodyne. The thing is, i bought Sonar because it has the pitch editor v-vocal and i liked the matrix feature.

Now i jumped to Cubase 7.5 and i only fire Sonar up for transfer old projects or playing around with Matrix Sequencer.

Heh, I hear Cubase is working great only 37 crashes in five hours even! Now that's performance!

X3e patch is amazing, especially new video engine enhancements!

Just for an anecdotal whatever it's worth - I really am loving X3e.

I've liked Sonar in the past, and by that I mean that I've liked its workflow, admired the X series look and feel, appreciated the included goodies and have really wanted to love it all as a whole but have found it either a crash-fest at worst or inconsistent at best (X1 was pretty good, X2, hmm, not so good!).

X3e has been brilliant for me. Like, really slick, fire-it-up and get on with it: no crashes; no surprises. Using loads of vsts/vstis, melodyne, outboard gear, jbridge-ing old 32 bit freebies into the 64 bit version etc. It's all just working, no stress.

As I say, FWIW; YMMV etc etc. but I'm really enjoying using Sonar X3e.

I considered getting the demo of X3, to see if X3 would make my transition of Sonar projects to my Mac any less frustrating (by eliminating Sonar 8.5 annoyances and bugs, like, I can't play a project looped without Sonar freezing and requiring a force termination!!)...

Yeah, bad idea... Things can always get worse...
