I should not have mentioned aliasing at all. I was only interested in the CPU usage of the X2 is. So, then, if the X2 is isn't using but such little CPU, then I think Cakewalk should give us x4 and x6 options for plugins. Thanks for showing the Shear example. This shows it's working, and also tells me that this X2 is is very little pressure on even my old laptop CPU.
So goodness sakes, Cakewalk, in a new update, give us at least a x4 option as well, it would be so awesome to use some of my old Waves plugs, for instance, with x4 or x8, stuff like Soundtoys and my Nebula stuff.
If this X2 is so darn easy to run, I can say for sure that if you gave us even x4 and this was mentioned on a forum like Gearspace (Gearslutz), there would be people jumping to Cakewalk like crazy because many folks still love a lot of plugs that do not have built in os.
I have known people were interested in switching just because it has X2. You add just x4 alone in to Cakewalk in the next update and you would see a nice jump in people turning to Cakewalk.
CAKEWALK, GIVE US A X4 BUTTON AT LEAST IN THE NEXT UPDATE and that news would be all over the audio forums. I would be one of the ones out there harping on it because I don't know of any other daw that can stay at 44 yet run it's plugs in oversampling with a simple button push. You have to buy a extra plug to load them in.
Wow, there are massive alliasing threads on Gearslutz and KVR, if we Cakewalk users were able to go in there and tell everyone the new free Cakewalk update allows you to run all plugs at x4 with a simple button push and the CPU hit is barely noticeable, good gracious, you would get a stream of new people jumping to Cakewalk.
A little arrow option with X2, x4, and x8, oh my, that would be HUGE
