• External Insert: allow mono send / stereo return.

• Allow defining mono inputs in friendly names.

• Plugins used (and their version numbers)
• Plugin settings
• Audio files used

• Internal Track routing (allow routing of audio track out to another audio track for resampling/recording of vst audio in realtime)
• Gapless audio engine (makes a big difference when it comes to the next request)
• Live looping vst/module or ability to record in a clip slot function like the Ableton Live (yes I could just switch to live, but I want to use Sonar as this is where all is recorded and it minimises the amount of time I have to spend bouncing/splitting tracks and such.
• Sonar Playlist Pro - An upgrade on the playlist function to make it easier to use Sonar in a live setting.
• Sonar Wave editor pro - Sonars Wave editing lags seriously behind many other daws, it could do with a refresh and make it just a case of... click waveform, waveform opens in dock with all options to adjust/trim/timestretch/beatgrid/quantise and such.

A Sonar Power! book that comes out at the same time as the program rather than just before it gets binned in favour of the new version.
 

Thanks, Paulo! I'll see what I can do. I always try my best.
The nice thing about the current book release is that it's up-to-date with all the X3a, b, c, d, and e updates. If it was released earlier, it wouldn't include those updates. They would have to be included in the following edition.
