I really don't understand why the only (crappy) way to display vertical rules on track view, not just acording to one mesure but also to the snap to grid measure (half, quarter, 32th, etc...), has dissapeared on 8.5!!!!!!!!!
When I discovered that lovely button on the upper rigth corner called "add Musical Snap to Transient Snap Pool" On sonar 7 I thougth changing from cubase sx2 to Sonar wasn't a mistake after all... (What a FOOL!!)
Since then, all my relationship with Sonar is like a war against the workflow. And after 8.5 update SONAR beat me down!!.
How can be the Cakewalk Folks don't think about their software is a DAW? All DAWs in the market (I said ALL) have nice VERTICAL RULES, GRIDS, etc on their track/sequencing view. And they fit nicely on the interface. I mean, they let you configure a lot of parameters. SONAR used to have this crappy lines with an ugly aspect and a big circle on the top of each one, messing wiht the time rule and fighting against you each time you want to set the NOW position with some accuracy.
The most weird thing is that in the PRV view there are a nice grid lines.... Why they aren't in Track view? I don´t know...
Anyway, someone knows where the crappy grid is? Please I need it because as a composer, it helps me a lot to place correctly the audio clips...
Also If the pepople in cakewalk want to retain me as a client in the future, please let me set the output of a MIDI track to more than one VSTi.
Please, let me have more than 255 synths and 744 effects (i'm not sure if this is the correct number), today with the really big bunch of free plugins aviable...
Please redraw the sonar interface in the line of the new plugins interface!! Look Live 8 or Cubase 5, they look awesome, they invite you to work... (Sonar still maintain those awful faders on the inspector).
This is a good one: Don't force me to open regedit to configure properly a vocoder!!! This BUG is in SONAR since SONAR 6 and it's still alive!!! When I told the plugin manager my vocoder is a synth, not an effect, i don't want to travel thru my windows registry untel reach the "inventory folder" to tell regedit the same i told plugin manager a few minutes ago!!!.
And some more I don't remember right now, but they can be resumed in a sentence: do a better work.
