In a sense, this is very much what Project 5 is/was.
Then again, if one is pretty deterministic about how a song will flow, then querying a bunch of outcomes can be a drag.

As a side note, Studio One's Arranger Track and Extended FX Chains were the two features of v3 that were swaying me back and forth against Sonar Platinum. I was able to cut the decision down after I (re)discovered Image Line's Minihost Modular. It offers a lot of the features (and some additional functionality) of S1's Extended FX Chains.

There is already a request. Please do not encourage duplicate requests. Duplicates get merged.

Sorry for not knowing that there was already a request for this. I remember there being discussion but not specific requests. I would have thought multiple requests show that a feature is popular.

Multiple requests are discouraged see "Features & Ideas" section of  http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3096121

I'm a techie and been around since the CP/M days of Supercalc and Wordstar, and now I'm on Win10. Having more than one company develop a certain type of software gives us choices.  Taken to the extreme, if every program looks and feels like the competitor, what's the point of multiple programs in a given field?
In the auto industry, the only difference between mfgs would be the color of the paint.
 
PS- I may have been a touch sarcastic in that post, but this is the first PC forum I've been on where a huge number of folks either use old outdated versions on old pc/OS, or seem to want the software to conform to their workflow, rather than conforming their workflow to the newest versions. How's that for a run-on sentence?

Hi Charly-

As it happens, I'm about 3 months younger than you are! My first computer was a Kaypro, so I'm also familiar with CP/M, Supercalc and Wordstar, not to mention dBase II, although I'm on Windows 8.1 for now. I also remember when Lotus 1-2-3 ruled the spreadsheet world rather than Excel. IMO, the point of multiple programs in any field is competition, so that the end user has choices and the choices s/he makes encourage developers to improve their product to better compete with other choices in the field. Every DAW will still have its unique "personality" and look & feel, but I don't see anything wrong with advocating for features another DAW has that might make SONAR more attractive to more users.
