A "Duplicate pattern" button in the Step Sequencer. Better yet, a "Duplicate" shortcut everywhere, a la Ableton Live CTRL + D.

Better Step Sequencer integration with the Matrix View, like editing and auditioning a pattern while the Matrix is running.

Integration between the Step Sequencer patterns and Drum Maps. Save drum maps with patterns. Better yet, save the track template with them, too, and make it possible to audition it directly from the browser, a la Ableton Live Clips. This is one of my favourite Live features. I can save a midi pattern with all the track routing and patch changes to an external hardware synth like a .alc file and audition it from the browser without loading the actual track. If you don't know what I am talking about, think of it like a previewable track template with data.

See your original post in the forum

for export i'd suggest additional setup of exact export time, so now i can highlight it with mouse and selected area will be rendered, but in some cases it's better to do just with changing some number values
And well a new major feature that needs a lot of pro hardcoding 
- enable few cards for play
i got 3 sound cards inside, 1 for music, 1 for games and one with mobo, they are all capable for 192khz/24bit
the problem i got - i described in my previous suggestion post, i need play sound and play midi.
right now we can solve it with freeze track and switching latencies + asio\wasapi
and if i could use 1 card for 1 real time instrument and routing other devices, then other cards i could use for rendering audio in realtime, but for different instruments.
So i could send those instruments for new buses and switch those buses to render with different cards and main bus will aggregate it all with main card.
the hardest part here is about different latencies and different hardware driver modes and well if you remember one of my other req posts, using cuda or opencl for some reasons (fx bin, fx bus, console routes, prochannel) would be good too.
yes, maybe i'm too freak, but no other soft can do this (cub?) so this can be a pro feature for live show.
you'd better ask more musicians about that, to check if it is really needed and enable it as a paid or pro-feature,
but you'll need a lot of supported hardware and tests.

It would be nice if Sonar got the Randomness of something like Dr T's Keyboard Control synthesizer Level 2. (KCS Lvl 2 This system is so far ahead of its time and to my knowledge nothing even comes close to it.  Biab seems to be the only company left with it.

*BUG*
I have a recorded video for better understanding. Video here
 
When you take two clips on the same track and move them together (and create a crossfade, if so desired) I try to drag one of the clips to make sure it is in sync with the metronome and when I move the clip, the part that is crossfaded now has a "cut", or "gap" in it after being moved.  Sonar 4,5,7, or 8 that I've used in the past has NEVER done this, so why now?  When I would drag one of those clips, it would just slide accordingly with the crossfade (if applicable).  I could not find any option in the preferences menu to change this from happening.

80% of the time this works how it SHOULD and does and this bug does not show it's ugly face.  I have to assume this is a bug in the software since I have ALWAYS edited in Sonar the exact same way since Sonar 4 and this editing bug happens MOST of, but not all the time.

I found doing anything with multiple selected clips is hit and miss (see http://forum.cakewalk.com/Issue-when-using-Normalize-in-multiselect-m3763740.aspx).
 
Sonar Platinum/CbB store multiple clips in the same file. It seems that performing multiple-clip operations which involve clips that are in a file shared by other clips just doesn't work properly. You either get corrupted or blank clips, or the contents of other clips affect the logic in whatever operation you're doing (certainly in the case of Normalize or Clip Gain).
 
The only way I found to stop it doing this is to:

• Ensure "Create One File Per Clip" is selected (this is in the "Save As" dialog)
• Select each clip individually and select "Bounce To Clip(s)" for each one.

This ensures that each clip is in its own file. Once this is the case, multiple clip operations should work as expected.
 
Seeing as I'm in the right thread for this...
(a) Can this bug be fixed; and/or
(b) Can we have some method of doing a bulk "Bounce to Clips" for all the clips in a track, so that each clip ends up in its own file?

Sorry, my link to the forum post relating to AAF didn't post for some reason
 
but a simple forum search should bring up the relevant link :)

This was NEVER an issue before when I would edit in Guitar Tracks, Sonar 4,5,7,8, X1 and X3, so why is this happening now?  It doesn't make sense.  I have exhausted the options menu (even in advanced settings) and I can't find anything that pertains to this.  I'm absolutely convinced that this is a bug.  And as far as bugs go, this is almost a deal breaker for me.  I have edited like this for YEARS with Cakewalk products and this has put a serious damper on my efficiency with editing.

I've seen this on and off (raised a forum request about it), I've got no answers other than it seems to be something that happens to a project and once it's happened you can't roll it back, impossibly annoying

I had another feature request of sorts, which is that when there's a new release in the BLA, it should be really really really really easy to find out what changes have been made. I.e. release notes. Updating a sticky thread really isn't a good way to do it, especially when, with the last two updates, no new text seemed to be added.

For the "Easy to find" part - on the BandLab Assistant, you can click the little down arrow bit next to the "Open" button for the app and choose "Learn More" which opens a web page. From there click the "What's New". But as you noticed, they didn't update the page with the last couple of updates to the app - which were bug fixes. That would have been nice... The Release Notes show for the (2018.05) release, but not the two bug fixes released in the mean time. 
 
And the page only shows the most recent update. I think a link to previous updates is in order, too. 

I'm sure this was requested before, individual audio clip gain control, similar to Studio One or REAPER. This will speed up editing process by 1000%.
 
Thanks.

A "Duplicate pattern" button in the Step Sequencer. Better yet, a "Duplicate" shortcut everywhere, a la Ableton Live CTRL + D.

+1 for this, it would be amazing in Cakewalk! I have been trying out Live and CTRL + D is the best thing since sliced bread!

Hi.
 
Thanks for the opportunity to help creating a better software in the music industry worldwide.
 
A great feature like a drag and drop into the piano roll with all the features the current piano roll has to manipulate the Pitch,Velocity, Notes/Key changes to add some external 808's/Snares/claps or any other sample, without the use of certain drum machines would be a great feature for us that are HipHop/EDM/House and tropicana producers. 
This would allow us to work faster and easier.
 
The current Step Sequencer just doesn't work that well in these type of genre's. It's visual can also be changed to look slicker, smoother, simpler and more modern.
I create, compose, record, mix and master solely in Cakewalk and these requests would be a major A+ to every HipHop producer and producers of all genres.
 
Love the DAW, It works perfectly. It's powerful, Workflow is simple, easy and hands on.
This one is for the win.
 
Thanks
Will

I would like to see Session Drummer 3 come back.  I would like to know why they removed it.

I still have Session Drummer 3 in CbB. Maybe you have a problem with your setup ?
