I have been using this since I built my new computer in March of 2013. This is a professional grade system so the more time you spend using it the deeper your understanding will become and the more polished your results will be. There are so many features and plugins out of the box that it can seem overwhelming but the system is actually very intuitive to use and a modest amount of effort will pay off in a good working understanding of the programs features. As for the configuration and accessibility, you really just need to dive in with a practice run to get familiar with everything.

Basically if you have a question there is an answer available online and I am actually glad those thinned versions have stopped being supplied as they always left more questions then answers.
CAKEWALK SONAR X1 VS X2 MANUAL
I had received the X1 and the 8.5 upgrades with a manual but those were only about 100 pages and pale in comparison to the virtual 1000 page documents available online.
CAKEWALK SONAR X1 VS X2 UPGRADE
I have been part of the upgrade program for years and received this version through digital download so there were no instructions included with the purchase, everything is accessible online however. There were no issues whatsoever with the installation or the operation of the program on the Windows 8 operating system. I have Sonar X2 Producer now installed on a new AMD 8 core system with 32 gigs of RAM on a SSD. I have been using the Sonar family of DAWs for years now starting out with Sonar 7 Studio.
