Cakewalk Sonar Producer X2?

[john]

Hi

I was taking a look at Cakewalk Sonar Producer X2 and noticed that it no longer supports XP, Vista etc. it only supports Windows 7 and Windows 8.

I've encountered lots of issues with win7 64-bit & Cakewalk Sonar Producer X1 and audio glitches, a bit better on XP. I'm a long time Cakewalk user (since version 2 of Cakewalk!) so I'm reluctant to change to a completely new platform unless I have to. I did use Cubase many moons ago (on my Atari ST lol), fair to say it has changed somewhat. I guess I have used most of the DAWs available at some point. So far I have yet to try budget/free DAWS and find the user interface that great.

The point in this whole post is simple, I'd love to hear of your experiences with the soon to be released (now on pre-release sale to existing Sonar users) Sonar X2 on both Win7 and Win8. A great deal hangs on it for me!

Cheers

John

if your PC is running Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 you will qualify to download an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for just $39.99

I made the leap, even while still on Vista 64bit at home. I won't be able to install or run it there until I upgrade to 8 Pro in October but I couldn't pass up the "free" string library (I can never have too many string samples).

very true. tempting.... lol

I really hope it is more stable, less glitchy
