List the feature request that have implemented in the past 3 years. 

 
I already took the time to do so in another complaint thread of yours, and I know you read what I posted because you basically replied (to paraphrase) that you'd been there, done that and weren't going to respond. Look it up yourself.
 
There's a certain irony that you're complaining Cakewalk doesn't introduce feature requests in a thread about a feature request that Cakewalk implemented. 
 
And by the way, Noel responded to one of your complaints in another thread with "What specifically are you unable to edit? We have plans to enhance editable content as we progress." Call me crazy, but I think most people would interpret that as CW listening, and responding they have plans to enhance editable content as they progress.

If you read my response on the other thread, then you'll know I didn't read it. As far as I'm aware they were just lists of things that had been done, not responses to The Feature Request
 
Link me, I can't remember where it was
 
Clearly, my intentions were clearly to provide useful info. But I am apermited to critisise failings as I see them. Just because some forum host disagree, I shouldn't be called being 'negative for pointing out it's not all rosey and that I feel communication post release has been poor, and not having something set up to firefight initial is pretty dumb in my opinion.
 
Yes I saw Noels comments, but he was replying to Un, in that thread. But the point is that thread wasn't about the issues and the threads about the issues go without response. Makes you feel good for positively organizing something in the very way your suggesting I did. 
 
EDIT: Yeah, just checked your post and you just listed a stack of improvement, didn't tie any into specific Feature requests. They were pretty much stuff Cake were doing, or bug fixes. Cake hasn't taken very little from feature request, all I can recall is recording synths outputs, and I'm pretty sure that came from a discusssion on the main forum, even though there was a request.

In mentioning those items, I thought the community requesting a feature qualified as a feature request from the community. Everything I mentioned was in fact requested by the community. If in your mind only requests presented in the Features & Ideas forum qualify, given that the forum started less than two years ago it seems unfair to want a list of features from the last three years that could be attributed to it. Furthermore, many of the updates happening now were started in response to user requests from X3 and even before, when there was no Features & Ideas forum and only requests in the SONAR forum itself. It can also take months, or even years, for something to transition from "cool idea" to QCed lines of solid code with an installer.
 
Personally, I'm glad so many of the community's requests have been implemented, regardless of when or how they communicated those requests to Cakewalk. I think they've added major functionality to the program.
 
Also, there is no problem with pointing out failings. Many bugs have been fixed because people, including myself, did point out failings. In fact this forum is filled with posts that point out failings, in my opinion to a fault when the same complaint gets repeated over and over again by the same people, as if there's some belief that if you say something enough times, code will somehow materialize. Yet I don't see those posts being deleted, nor those users banned.
 
However, I strongly believe that threads are most useful and receive the greatest participation when they stick to a topic. I didn't expect that a thread called "Theme - Color Guide" would become a platform to complain about Cakewalk after only six posts, particularly from the person who set the thread topic, and particularly because prior to that at least scook and I were conforming to the original premise in order to encourage others to do the same.
 
I still think one thread with all the screen shots and tips would be the best way to go, and I wish you would re-consider doing that. My objective is helping people get the most out of SONAR, but we obviously have different ideas of how to do that and that's okay. We probably make different music, too.

Not really, because it's basically developing the program, You'd expect that, But implimenting feature request, it's basically not happening. Bugs is irrelevant to my post above, because A, that not what I've said, and B. They have a responsibility. Bug fixes are not feature requests.
 
I personally don't see think one super thread on colours is the way to go. I see the value in discussing and elements. Especially are with the oddities, and contradictions. I expressed my disappointment, here, because I think they should have factor in a release period to allow users to find the bulk of issues, and tidy it up now. It really restricts colour choices and creative ideas

Hey Scott. This your picture was very helpful, but some reason now it's disappeared. Can you please send it again?
