Just downloaded it. Need to sync with my friend/co-writer to install at the same time as it's not backwards compatible and once we start using it there's no going back.
So do you know if projects stated on X1 can be completed on X3?
The problems that I have encountered with projects and this upgrade have more to deal with the plug-ins than the DAW. Don't uninstall X1. If you have projects that use X1 components, X3 will use them. It is a bit of a problem when they are no longer there because of an uninstall. I also have had some problems where templates seem to have caused problems and I ended up having to rebuild a project by importing the old wave files into a new X3 project.
I'm looking at the prices on this thing. It'll cost me like $350 to up-grade with bells and whistles,$300 w/no bells & whistles..... and the vid and mp3 conversion.......over $400.....hmmm.......this or a new mic.....been wanting the shure sm7b....&......fishman 3x play midi pup......damn.....the list goes on and on.......
Taking the plunge, down loading X3 producer as I type this. got the instruction video package as well.....$198.99 total, last day of cakewalks holiday special.....
Purchasing the instruction video was a good call. Eli K. does a good job of explaining all of the new features of X3 Producer. We are actually up to X3d so after you've installed the upgrade go back to the Cakewalk site and download versions a thru d. Enjoy and Happy New Year!
Just install the downloaded version
