MIDI data entry
Ever since the advent of Sonar X1 manual entry of MIDI data has become very cumbersome, so much so that I use Sonar 8.5 to type in MIDI data. Sonar X1, X2 and X3 does a lot of things better than ever before but it has missed the mark on MIDI data entry. You guys really need to work on that! Until then I'll continue to use Sonar 8.5 for entering my MIDI data, of which I do a lot.

I haven't tried the new version, as the X series really turned me off, but he's right about manual entry. Older versions of Sonar made painting notes much simpler, where as this new Smart Tool stuff is incredibly clunky to work with. At least it was in the X series. That change is what drove me away from Sonar and on to FL-Studio, which isn't as good overall, but has fantastic manual MIDI entry capabilities.
