Be able to change ALL meter settings from one window that stays open until you are done.
A new feature that I call split/paste. You can select a clip and copy it. You then go to the track where you want it to be inserted. Instead of splitting the track, making a hole for the clip you want to insert and then inserting it, you simply right click and select split/paste at the insertion point and Sonar does the rest. Our Ol'Pal will probably like it.

MIX VERSIONS:
I'm wishing that someday a feature called MIX VERSIONS will be implemented. My vision about MIX VERSIONS is having an unlimited number of mixes/settings in a single project/song/cwp file. Meaning you can recall a certain mix within a project with a push of a button. You store a particular mix version in a button, With this implemented, you can cycle thru a certain mix with a push of button. Maybe you have a mix with lower bass or a whatever you desire. If possible, automation(vol, pan, mute, etc.....) and plugin setting can also be stored in a mix version with a corresponding description text. IT WILL BE A GREAT FEATURE. :-) At least for me.
 
I wonder if this feature is already implemented in ProTools.
 
This is similar to the SCREENSHOT feature.

That would be super cool, methinks.

Isn't this what a project file already does? Admittedly you need to press 2 or 3 buttons to load a project with a different mix.

Maybe it would be nice to have something that groups similar projects together. Maybe it would be nice to load projects faster...

 
Parameter Modulation, as in Reaper!!
...I've got a friend who's a Reaper-user and I'm really jealous of this function..
 
this video doesn't really show all you can do with it.. but it gives you an idea

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.

A shameless plug filter.

Better tempo map support - ability to scale overall tempo values by a percentage (have tried CAL script but didn't work), or ability to export tempo list values to Excel so I can scale them there. Fit-to-time seems to work for this but would still like the above.
 
Ability to draw curves in velocity with nodes for shaping.
 
A dedicated VST sampler instrument with full support for drag-drop wavs from browser or track view.

Replace awkward take lanes with innovative track layers.  Oh, wait . . . .

I want the option to remove certain things from the Smart Tool, such as Fast Comping. When the Take Lanes are set to a fairly low height, it's hard to get the Selector cursor to show up vs the Fast Comp cursor. I have to expand the height of the Lane to select in most cases. Sometimes the Smart Tool can be just a bit too smart. I'd like to see a way to select/deselect what other tools the Smart Tool can utilize. Like dumbing down the Smart Tool in Prefs.
