So I will hold my thoughts on this feature until I actually have it in my hands.

 
I see you're new to this internet thing 

Actually no.  I had a computer in 1978 and I was on BBSes since then.  Yes I am old

Was it a "Trash 80"? (TRS-80). That was my 2nd. My first was a kit built around a 8080....(Am I'm an Analog Guy!)

I am being to think that the bakers should not announce what is coming in the next version.

 
I think the announcement of upcoming features in the Rolling Updates section is fine, because it doesn't provide much information (i.e. it's exciting, because we can use our imagination and expect a lot from the features). But I'm against the sneak preview and the thread announcing its release, because it's not beneficial to us at all. We'll be using the feature in a week or so anyway. We probably only wasted our time.

I guess it's lose-lose :)
 
If we don't people will say we don't tell people enough. And if we do it's a bad idea. Personally, I like do like the idea of giving people a sneak peak. But we'll take this into consideration.

My opinion? Don't waste your time on sneak peaks. Plenty of surprises in each monthly update.
 
Somebody wants sneak peaks? Let them qualify as a beta tester. They don't use SONAR broadly and deeply enough to be a useful beta tester? Then they don't need sneak peaks either.
 
You wanna be first? Go early? Then put in the effort to be a formal beta (assuming CW have such a program).
 
So NOT lose-lose.
 
You keep doing what you've been doing recently.
 
THAT'S the win-win.

It's amazing how people can have an opinion on something that isn't available yet...
Jeesh!

I still think we need a "LIKE" button. Some posts here I "liked"  :-) 

You could use the HELPFUL button.
 

 
When someone hovers the cursor over the Helpful notification, it reveals who selected it.
 
 
 
 
 

The problem with the Helpful system is that only one person can do it.  I would've marked your post Helpful too, but now you'll never know how helpful I thought it was

Jeesh!

To be fair, if opinions weren't being sought there was no reason for the OP to begin with.
 
They could be playing games with us too.  Get everybody's expectations low, then zing us with whatever announcement Craig referred to.
 
What the heck, I'm gonna spoil it.  TTS has entered into an agreement to purchase Tesla Motor Co.  One step closer to the hover car!!

Someone from Cakewalk could say whether I'm right or wrong, but I believe the reason for the OP was in response to those who've complained they didn't know enough about what was coming up next.

Embargoed news is very common if there are multiple moving parts (e.g., X has to happen before Y can happen).

How did you know??!?!!? I guess you're the only person who figured out rolling updates was the clue.

What is the problem this feature was designed to solve? Were people unaware of how to add a track? Was it to improve the speed/workflow of adding a track?
 
I'd love to see Sonar move in the direction of "FEWER menus, windows, and clicks" to truly speed up the workflow. For instance, 1) clicking the Add Track button should just automatically add an audio track routed to the master output. One click. Covers probably 90% of audio track use cases. 2) Clicking and dragging an instrument to the Project pane should automatically add a single instrument track routed to the master bus. Single click and drag operation, covers most use cases. No pop up windows, no extraneous options.
 
Now...for when I want to add multiple tracks or want to route tracks somewhere else, or create a folder, how about: 3) Ctrl+Add Track Button to open the pop-up menu. Do something similar for synths when I need a multi-timbral or multi-out setup. 
 
The goal in Sonar should be to reduce the menu-popup type behavior so more operations are done in a single click. It may involve figuring out how to do things on the back end (like setting up multiple outputs on an instrument from the plugin menu in Studio One) but there's definitely a way to be flexible and fast.

1000++++++!

Studio One 3 does what you suggest. It's a very efficient system.

I believe I was the OP. I definitely think opinions are always welcome.
