That is accurate. Patch points were not planned at the start of the year although we had internally talked about it many times in the past. Its all about prioritizing the needs of users and this was the right time to do this feature once we had tackled some more pressing issues. It was also required to set the foundation for some other cool things we have planned.
 
>>That being said, I sure wish they'd allow an aux track to solo all tracks feeding it, just like a bus does. :)
 You might get lucky again. It is the lottery season after all :)
 Hmm maybe we should have a feature request lottery!

Well that sounds like something to keep an eye out for. :)

I have Cubase AI 8 and Studio One 3 Artist. I haven't installed any of them, I thought they will put load on my DAW PC.

 
Only if you're running them at the same time, which isn't advisable anyway if you're using an ASIO interface.
 

My question is if I install them :
Will I be able to explore any good feature what my Platinum is not giving?

 
Yes and no. You can transfer files among programs, but it's not a seamless process. SONAR makes it very easy to export all your audio, which you can then bring into another program; and of course you can do the reverse. I don't think you can drag and drop between two different open programs but I haven't tried it...maybe it's possible. However cannot use Platinum features in Cubase or Studio One, or use Cubase or Studio One features in Platinum.
 

Will I be able to utilize Chord Track, Arranger Track, Note FX, MIDI effects etc and bring the results in Sonar?

 
Yes, but keep your eye on Friday's Tip of the Week, which tells how to do easy arranging in SONAR. The next one covers how to create a feature that's like Studio One's scratchpad, but is more flexible in some ways. Much of what other DAWs can do is possible in SONAR with a little creativity.
 

Will the VSTi installed by the process of installation of these two can also be accessed from SONAR?

 
Many of Sonar's plug-ins will work in other DAWs, but AFAIK the plug-ins in Cubase and Studio One are "keyed" to those programs and work only with their respective programs. At one point Cubase made MIDI FX based on the Cakewalk MFX standard and offered a "wrapper" to run Cakewalk's MIDI FX in Cubase, but those days are long gone.

Thank you very much Sir for answering each and every question.
Why can't we bring back those days?

Oh right, I was unaware of Cake's comments on this.

 
I guess you don't read the Store forum.  Not sure why I do, come to think of it.
Sorry if I was brash.  It's a bit like the subscription questions all over again.
 

There's a STORE forum?
 
 
Oh yeah, so there is. Never been there before.......

Don't worry, I didn't realize what was there, either. I thought it was a forum for issues with the store, itself. Purchasing might have been more descriptive, maybe. But, it's a useful forum.

Outstanding value!!! Happy to re-up.  Great DAW, great community.
We have "wicked" high expectations in this area and Cakewalk does not let us down.
Thanks to all who contribute in making and supporting this excellent product, and all the helpful forum participants.
GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!

+1 on the forum participants.  I learn as much about human behaviour as I do about Sonar.  How to be eternally optimistic and how to be an old grump.  How to praise and how to rant.  How to worship and how to jump ship.  How to get thrown out and even how to commit suicide.
 

Just renewed!

I really hope that we'll get customizable buttons and icons in the UI creator. I really miss some of the buttons I used in 8.5.

$99.00! Truly a no-brainer deal here. I upgraded! Thanks Cakewalk. Looking forward to another great year.

When I click on the link in the email to renew it takes me to an upgrade page for $149 instead of renewing for $99. Is this price automatically adjusted? Also under "My Products" Sonar Platinum isn't even listed.
