More Pro Channels Modules or the ones Cakewalk were selling that just disappeared.

As I see we have small updates. So:

-smart tool with split feature like in S1. Put it on a clip and split.
-group transient markers for multitracked instruments (more easy than “add to pool”)
-“add gain” feature in clips (with smart cut and this feature it would be great and fast to make stable dynamic audio clips).
- maybe more simple container like S1 to simply drag them in project

Less resource consumption for audio recording:
 
I noticed that other DAWs need significantly less system resources for a simple audio recording (project with max. 5 tracks, and only +TH3), i.e. I can use lower buffer sizes (less delay) than in CbB without having clicks.
 
That is why I currently use Samplitude instead of CbB for guitar recording (on the laptop). The audio recording is also much more stable.

Which audio interface are you using, what driver mode and how many tracks are you recording at once? Also what are your hardware specs and mention any specific changes you have made to the audio preferences in CbB.
I have zero problems dialing in the lowest latency on my audio device (RME UFX) and recording with input monitoring on. 
Recording at low latency itself doesn't take a lot of resources at all. Its the plugin's in the project that typically cause more load at low latency. 
 
Are you getting clicks simply recording a single track at low latency with an empty project? If so there is something else going on.
Try running the DPC latency tester on your system. There could be external factors affecting this.

I always forget to mention it until I need to do it (like just now) A global meters option to set the 4 categorizes & all their options all at once instead of individually.

I'd like to see better.
I don't look very good.

A way to turn off the Toast screen. That would be  good.

I think that you are asking too much... I will be very happy with any of this additions:
1 - An update to our beloved General Midi synth (Cakewalk TTS-1).
Oh yessss, please. It has some very nice instruments, but for example to apply .scl files (tuning hacks) would be great. And some more drum sounds.

2 - Improvements in the staff editor, which I think is abandoned.
Oh yessss, please. Especially an xml export would be fine, so staff editing could be exported to notation programs which often have xml import.

  Especially about point 6, web page and forum: It works well, doesn't it?

7 - The possibility of buying Cakewalk synths and effects.
Oh yessss, please. There are quirte some things in the old Sonar installation that should come along with Sonat by Bandlab.

8 - Refinements for the Skylight interface. For me, it seems a little bit bloated sometimes (Cubase 9 has copied the Skylight layout but I dont know... It seems more "clean").
9- More stability improvements and bug fixes.
10 - Drag and drop audio and MIDI files without having to create audio or MIDI tracks first.

11 - Drag and drop fx-chains with all automation lines from an audio output track to a bus track. I have, for example, some percussion track with fx-chain and automation, later I find there should be some more percussion, so I create another track for those, but then I wish to apply the same fx-chain ti the new percussion. I did not find that it is possible to copy automation lanes from an audio track to a bus track.
