Elsewhere in the forum someone was asking for a new GUI for the Sonitus effects, not changing the audio processing, just updating the look. You could also make Pro-channel modules that use Sonitus fxs code, but look gorgeous and fit in so easily.
Then you can drag and drop settings between instances from different channels.

5. I'd like to set Recording Mode to "Sound on Sound" as default.

Recording Mode is set in Preferences > Project > Record and stored in the project. The default value is stored in the project template. Alter the template and all future projects made with template will have the new default value.

1. Chord track
2. Negative measures
3. Folders in Console view
4. MIDI loop preview: It's currently possible to audition audio loops (Acid etc) in real time while the project is playing. One simply browses to the loops and clicks them one at a time to audition them. They then play in tune with the project (assuming one has specified the project key correctly), and at project tempo. I would like to see something similar for MIDI loops. I want to be able to click a MIDI loop and have it sound via the synth (internal or external) of my choice, to hear what it sounds like in the context of my project. I do NOT want to have to load each loop onto the timeline to hear it. I understand that getting the MIDI loops to be in the correct key may be impossible in a preview, but it would be awesome if that were possible. Otherwise, just the ability to click a MIDI loop and hear it play immediately (in project key or not) would be a huge time saver.

I'm hoping that the new forum will include a Feature Requests sub-forum, where the pro and cons of each individual proposal can be brainstormed in its own separate thread.

Colors for Markers is in Preference, although the list is shorter than it used to be and most of the important things like numbers and words in small windows used to be also. Tho we used to be able to hover over numbers and change them up or down with the mouse wheel. I do miss that.

Track view - 'detent' on track height:
I often drag track heights of tracks to compare wave profiles. To get two or more the same height I have to do it by 'eye'. It would be handy if there were a way of allowing a detent feature so that it was easier to make heights the same for two or more tracks temporarily.

I have been a happy user of Cakewalk software since it was Dos. That's almost 28 years in my professional studio here in Nashville. In that time I've Produced and Engineered over 40 albums of all styles and tons of Demos for pitching in town. The main thing is that since Sonar X series Way Too Many procedures are in way too many places. If I'm doing odubs I Hate to be forced to keep bouncing around to different drop down menus. I should be able to move a clip around, trim that clip and adjust the volume envelope with Out changing the Tool or going to another drop down menu. We didn't used to, clear up thru 8.5. Sonar used to be The Best recording/midi software on the PC platform. Slow Tools is just beginning to do things Sonar was capable of 10 and 15 years ago. One of the most important things about the software is that it was so customizable. I took the 12 things I do all the time and assigned them to my "F" keys for 1 button access. The full Key binding list needs to be brought back. My.. Clone... Vol Envelope... Pan Envelope etc.. should be a lot easier to access when I'm working. Not on different drop down menus. Obviously the Programers who though that is a good idea have Never run a Recording Session. Not everyone out here is making music in our bedroom in our Mom's house. I have started looking at other Daw's. Because I actually went back to 8.5. But I need to upgrade. Fix Sonar and I'll be happy to stay. How the Program works is Much more important than some new plug in.

+1 on pretty much everything here.  The clip editing and smart selection have been great additions, but at the expense of easy automation.  If I have a track with volume, pan, send automations, and I have to compare or select them, look at how cumbersome that is!  Look at the view, you can't even see the waveform and all the automation lines at the same time with enough resolution to do anything with the automation lines.  I am sorry for the rant, but it really is a huge step backwards in terms of workflow and it is to the point that I am literally avoiding automation because it is so cumbersome.  Same with some of the functions that used to be available with 1 right click:  bounce to track/clip, insert envelope...
 
So, I would like to see the automations return to the waveform view, and perhaps buttons on the track to select which lines to view/edit along with read/write for those.  Basically shorten the number of clicks it takes to view and edit automation as well as a more inclusive view of everything.
 
(edit) While we're at it, can we also have the ability to change values with the fader/pan/etc when there's automation...without a special modifier?  Or, at least the option to turn that on/off?  Using yet another AUX track just to manage volume/etc after automation is a waste of a track, screen real estate, and efficiency.  Please!

I also requested the ability to move multiple tracks at once...both in track view and console view.  I think this idea of expanding the track height also falls in line with that.  
 
Currently we can perform identical functions on multiple tracks with the CNTRL modifier.  Select multiple tracks by holding control.  Insert a send on all those tracks, hold control.  Change volume/pan on those tracks, hold control.
 
I would say continue that logic:  hold control, select multiple tracks, hold control move/drag...just like you can with clips now.  I would also say the same for track height would seem just as logical...and useful.

Maybe you can take a little time to know the software better. Just to create an envelope you have to go to the drop down menu. Then, every time you need to make changes, you select it quickly by SHIFT+Click either on every envelope or on the waveform.

hey, that's pretty neat...thanks for sharing.

Chord track!

 
What is chord track?  
 
Is it a MIDI thing or Audio?
 
Does it display in only one particular view, or many?
 
I'm unfamiliar with this, unless it's something akin to guitar tablature within notation software. 

The chord track is both audio and midi, you can view it here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_YR3WduUNY


Hope this helps, it's a great tool, I bought Cubase 7.5 just for this feature

The non-scrollable, infinite drop-down list of possible actions when customizing the control bar needs some love.

I love the Comping features of CWbBL. However, I do see some room for improvement.
 
Feature Request: Have the comped track be editable and savable in the parent track.
 
I would like this feature to have a button similar to Freeze called Comp, so that when pressed, it collapses all the takes, creates an audio trk of the comp that is editable in the trk and names the new clip same as trk but adds to clip name Comp #1.
 
When I finish comping a track, I would like to be able to edit that comped trk in the parent trk just like I would any other audio trk.
 
However, I do not want the parts that make up the comp trk to be edited. I want the takes to stay original.
 
I also want all the takes that make up the comp to remain with the trk.
 
Also (very important) to have the selected takes of the comp to remain selected, so in the future I can know which ones make up the comp. So that I could go back and make changes if I have to or need be.
 
 
 
Here is where it gets really interesting:
When I unselect the Comp button, the audio trk created when the Comp button was pressed (Clip:Comp #1) is kept (not discarded or deleted) and put on a take lane (along with the clip name) in this same trk. Then I can do another version of the comp. The saved comp would also have to be able to retain/remember/know what parts of the original takes made up the comp.
 
What this would amount to is the ability to do multiple Comps from the same takes, retaining all the original takes and all versions of the comps. You could then select which comp you want to try and decide which one you want to use, without loosing or separating all the original takes.
 
I can dream can't I!! : )
