I do use the VS 700C & I/O it has been a great tool and I will continue to use it until.
I only have one (1) request:
 
For Sonar or the new named TDFKAS to be operable with other Surface Controllers such as the Solid State Logic Matrix 2, or the SSL Nucleus 2 and/or other comparable controllers.
 
Thanks for asking!!!

1. Staff view, update, fixes, New way to draw notes (click and drag to length, ways to make it more accessible such as  time grid option.
2. Chord Track
3. ProChannels – more collaboration, Fr example modules from KiloHearts would complement and double the existing range, while taking it a more creative route. Even the free 6 pack compliments the core Pro- channels (Delay, chorus, 3 band EQ, Limiter, Gain and Stereo.
4. Act clean up, I never got it to work and it never felt intuitive. Gave up a long time ago.
5. Step Sequencer – Ability to open more than one row at a time. If I have four hi hat articulations, I want access all four rows in detail at the same time

 

I had to quote you because I'm pretty much on the same page.
 
I might be in the minority here but the Matrix view really could use a tuneup as well.
 
Also please give Noel the time needed to really tuneup the audio engine. It might not of been a gapless audio engine but it was at the top of the heap or near it in my opinion. Now the competition seems to have bypassed TDFKAS as far as the audio engine goes.
 
 

I'm on this page too, but followed the 'List of 5 Rule'. Figured others would call for supporting Noel working on the tune-up, new cam, valves and fuel injection system.
 
 
I may be in your minority for some Matrix love.  Id love to see Novation's launchpad range 'MengLab' compatible.

1. URGENT - Fix the existing bug where the settings of multiple instances of Piano Views are not saved with the project. I won't be upgrading until this is sorted.
 
2. A project's signal flow diagram, as discussed here:
http://forum.cakewalk.com/m3163639.aspx
 
3. MIDI tracks to include "MIDI send" so that a single MIDI source could output to more than one softsynth.
 
4. The GUI is often sluggish, i.e. the display is slow to update, especially when switching between screensets. Anything to improve the speed would be good.
 
5. Make the Quadcurve EQ independent of the ProChannel.

1. Audiosnap: Have a pre-gate for the detection routine. Audiosnap is a great tool and works flawlessly until there's even a slight amount of noise on a track between hits - that sends the transient detection off on all kinds of "fun" tangents and causes a bunch of extra cleanup work. Being able to set a minimum threshold, or even better yet, a pre-gate/pre-EQ to zero in and clean up what the detection algorithm hears would fix that.
   
   
2. GUI: Adding another Control Bar module (or extending the mix module) to show crossfade state / type, ripple editing state / type, and that kind of thing would be handy. Having to dive into a menu to see this stuff causes a headache if you forget what your project is set up for (ripple editing especially, that can destroy a project VERY quickly if you leave it set on accidentally). Additionally, in the Small size of the transport module, the record mode doesn't get shown on the record icon - that's an easy fix in the theme assets.
   
   
3. GUI: Being able to drag controls from the Inspector to the TCP. Currently on audio tracks, things like phase and stereo interleave are only available in the track Inspector so you need to open that to get to it. I'd find it more useful to have them on the tracks themselves and move things like Read and Write Automation to the track inspector, so those controls should be interchangeable. This goes for MIDI tracks too - being able to see Key+/- in the track rather than in the Inspector would speed up my workflow a lot. You can currently move the position of controls around in the track so this would be an extension of that idea.
   
   
4. Arrangement: Having a Tempo Track visible in the Track view, and now that we have ripple editing, an Arrangement Track based on that idea, where we could define sections that can be dragged around to different positions would be great for mapping out songs.
   
   
5. Master Creation: Having an extension of the Markers view, where each marker could be also assigned other metadata like a track name, index ID, ISRC code, etc. and then being able to open up a specialised project view where you can load in WAV files or (even better) other projects (where it would automatically create an audio proxy) and you can set markers with this additional info, and then export either to Red Book CD or a master DDP image.
   
   

These are my top 5 things I'd like to see. I have plenty more but I expect this thread will be a popular one. 
 
 EDIT: OK, got a bonus one, but I'd expect it'd take a LOT of work to implement...

Make EVERY window a multidock. By that I mean do away entirely with the notion of Inspector, Browser, Buss pane, etc. and have every window contain whatever view you prefer, including doubling up views with different zoom levels. Imagine having your main track view and then down the bottom in Multidock 1, you have another instance of the track view, but this time set to show just the currently selected track but auto-zoomed to fill that window. You could have your complete project overview in the main window but be able to do micro edits in the Multidock. Or you could run 2 different instances of the console view, one with the full console, and another one docked at the top of the screen with an extremely compact view so you could use it as a meter bridge. Combining that with screensets and even how flexible the current Skylight interface is, that would be EXTREMELY powerful.

I'd appreciate a better ASIO driver setup.
Less Latency
Still be able to use software on 2 or more computers
Ability to use multiple monitors and really spread out everything.  (I may be mistaken on this.)
Thanks for giving new hope to Sonar/Cakewalk software.
Peace,
Jerry

1. I want PRV to have even more beauty. For example, I'd like to add the option "Do not thin the note color of non-active track" option.
2. I want custom scale renaming and custom scale export.
3. Chord track! Many people wish for it...!

I wish for the success of TDFKAS!

1)
A much more capable Staff View is the last piece of the puzzle for me. Don Williams mentioned in an earlier thread that there had been talks between himself and Gibson/Cakewalk about integrating Overture https://sonicscores.com/
with Sonar in some way. That to me would be awesome if it could move forward. 
 
I find it kind of strange that such a capable DAW like Sonar, can't produce things like quintuples and more complex notation figures/polyrythms. I mean not all music is straight 4 on the floor kind of stuff and it makes Sonar incomplete, like a wordprocessor not able to write the last 5 letters of the alphabet. 
 
Anyway, that is my wish. Thanks for asking! :) 

Thanks for asking. My wish list would be : 
1. Simplify the initial HW setup of Audio and MIDI devices, make it more robust and understandable. 
2. Easier support/use of Cakewalk legacy hardware like the VS-100 and the A-PRO series.
3. Make it the King of MIDI in terms of control of legacy MIDI hardware. Integration with SoundQuest. 
4. Stability. Limit addition of "new" features, until what is ... is rock solid. 
 
Thank you. 

Thanks Meng,
 
1 Would like to see horizontal scrolling in console view fixed so tracks snap and scroll bar appears correctly. Repair Hide tracks  When a track is hidden, the WAI control does not update and is left controlling a track that is not visible. The WAI used to skip to the next visible tracks when hiding tracks. (These used to work correctly in Sonar X3 and early Splat)
2. OMF file export repair. Sonar most times will crash after a successful export. The exported OMF has all the midi tracks exported empty. Since OMF does not support MIDI, the empty MIDI tracks are unnecessary.
3.Would like a drum machine/sampler/sequencer like Groove Agent in Cubase or Ableton Live.
4. Would love features like scratch pads and projects for mastering as in Studio One.
5. Another vote for negative Bars.

I really like the way you can raise the volume/gain on individual audio clips in Studio One and ProTools with a simple mouse swipe in the track view.  Its great for quickly editing vocals where you can break a take into clips for individual  phrases - or words if need be - and get the volume levels per clip that you want before applying compression.  I use this feature all the time especially on vocals but its useful elsewhere too.    It's much quicker and more intuitive than clip gain envelopes.  I'd love to see that functionality in Sonar
