The ability to undo when you accidentally select audio transients on a track. :)

Zoom's R24 ASIO driver didn't want to work with the Sonar version from Bandlab on a fresh Windows 10 installation, the Bandlab installation broke ASIO completely for all applications, installing and uninstalling ASIO4ALL fixed that though...
Using the Zoom R24 as controller interface made SONAR crash when hardware sliders/buttons are used, even uninstalling and installing the original Sonar did not help.

Reinstalled Windows 10 and using SONAR Professional 23.10.0.14 now, no issues with the R24 what so ever.

sonar/cbb historically seems to have more issues than most with the asio4all driver, must be something to do with how it uses drivers, maybe something to do with the deep windows integration of sonar/cbb?
 
but like zargg said, always use the manufacturer's own asio drivers, if available, to utilise the full functionality of your device... if you have to use asio4all, make sure you have the latest version from http://www.asio4all.org/
 
good luck!

I would love better control surface support, I just ordered an icon qcon pro x with extender and I already know it's gonna be a nightmare to integrate it into tdfkas. And the master fader not working on the controller, what's up with that? There has to be a way to fix that. If I can't make it play well I might have to move away from tdfkas. :-(
 
I would also like it if we could make the faders longer for more precision. Other than that I love Cakewalk, it always does what I need

Staff view. Please, staff view. I don't expect Sibelius level quality, but as much as I can appreciate PRV, it's not always the easiest if I'm trying to go fast on stuff I can't physically play in. Being able to enter the notes in staff, then go into PRV and humanize them is really important.
 
Even more important is being able to VIEW what I've programmed in accurately. Last time I checked, tuplets still don't go up past a triplet, no quintuplet, sextuplet, and certainly no way to specify, for instance, in 5/4 meter, that the last 3 beats are to be played as a tuplet of 4:3 (4 quarter notes in the space of a 3 quarter notes). Having to resort to 2/4 and 12/16 alternating to get this effect without bedlam in the staff view is annoying, as is manually programming it in through PRV. No real way to check if you screwed it up either if it won't display properly short of exporting it and loading the midi into something that will display it musically, even if not 4:3 but simply 4 over the notes would be a life saver. 
 
PLEASE put this high up on the list. I know not that many people use it but for those who do, it is a practical frustration when sketching something out as a demo, which is when staff view is very useful. Cakewalk has amazing MIDI abilities under the hood but they tend to remain under the hood in staff view, and even entering the notes is a pain sometimes, though I've seen improvement on that in new updates (!!!!).  
 
If I enter a quintuplet, or anything other than a triplet, it won't display in staff view, and I end up going into PRV, doing arithmetic about the number of ticks and aligning them, then switch to staff and it's gibberish. I end up using other programs to enter this kind of MIDI data at this point, which have their own frustrating limitations (I love that in Sonar I can have spaces autofilled and that CbB moved the note values seen in PRV to the staff view - this only makes me want some of the advanced features more!)
 
Making it easier so what you see in PRV looks like music in staff view is what I desperately want... Doing a simple quintuplet (just a /5\ instead of the normal /3\ for a whole note doesn't look good in staff, and is a little better but still inducing a migraine in PRV by trying to see the edges.
 

 
When it could look as nice and neat as this triplet:

 
The above triplet is nice, neat, and easily recognizable. I don't see why that can't be done with a 5, 7, or more complicated rhythms since it can be programmed in. I love that the notes have been put right next to view/tracks, so I'm very optimistic but still not having the ability for the program to recognize that a series of 5 notes consisting of 768 ticks in a bar with 3840 ticks is shown in a weird way, not the same as while a triplet, a series of notes consisting of 3 1280 ticks in a 3840 tick bar, is recognized so easily is frustrating since there are 4 over 3 substitutions, 2 over 5, etc, that can be played back perfectly but not displayed right. 
 
I'm not expecting this level of implemention: https://imgv2-2-f.scribda...25bb82/1534795873?v=1, but getting simple tuplets down of 5, 7 and 9 and other small changes so that what I enter in PRV that are exact lengths reflected back as something I recognize in staff view would make a big difference. Cakewalk's MIDI engine is powerful, which is why it's so crippling to have to run to another program to visually enter anything past a triplet quickly and see it displayed as intended. 
 
Cakewalk is not software for creating scores. I don't expect it to be, and I don't expect dynamics and techniques that live in the MIDI to be expressed via the staff view fully, but basic problems like not displaying what I showed above are less about music printing and more about the inability to view the same data in the program while working and see it displayed in a musical way, which interrupts workflow. If I had a request, it would be for these kind of improvements since I still use staff view quite often, especially while programming drums on demos or scratch tracks.
 
Other notation programs insist you fill in the rests before you move on which is time consuming, and I'd do much more work in Cakewalk that will eventually end up in Cakewalk because while I have more freedom to move notes without worrying about filling in the rests, I can't be sure what I entered is correct due to the staff view issues. 
 
And thank you again Meng for the outreach, I truly appreciate the invitation for requests and could not be happier with what has happened since Bandlab released Cakewalk by Bandlab!

MIDI Sends, please.
 
I'd like to be able to drive two VST (or hardware instruments) from a single MIDI track, preferably while playing my controller (i.e. input echo)

Cakewalk would rule the world if it had a feature similar to this competitor

It is a way to control the interface from any remote device on the network.
Thank you for your time

Would you be interested in an interim solution?
I could write a plug-in that would allow you to do this now.

 
Really? Cool!
 
It isn't an urgent request or anything, I just wanted to add my vote to what is surely an existing feature request. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only person interested in such a plugin. I didn't think of looking for existing plug-ins, as I assumed it wouldn't be possible without some plumbing changes on the DAW side, kind of like AUX tracks.

 presumably would be an easy fix?

For Roland maybe. The V-Vocal plug-in was made and maintained in Japan by Roland and bundled with SONAR 5 through X2. AFAIK Cakewalk never had the source code, it would have to be purchased from Roland. Moreover, Cakewalk invested in implementing ARA in order to provide a similar feature set using Melodyne.

V-Vocal rocks and will never, ever, have any more bugs put in it. At least we have a work-around for the low volume thing (not ideal, but mostly works)

It would be good to know how much %CPU each plug in is using - that would tell us which tracks to freeze when we want to preserve cpu overhead.  Studio One has a window with this feature and its really useful for reducing the risk of dropouts.

It would also be nice to be able to see how much latency each current active plugin introduces in the project.

Chord track!
