Trivia: I own the first Maschine ever made. I was visiting NI in Berlin, and they showed me Maschine. I flipped out. I said I was going back to the states and I'd do anything to take it with me. They said no. I said "At some point, you will have to go to the bathroom. I will take Maschine and run out the door before you get out of the bathroom." They laughed and figured what the heck, they were going to make more anyway  
 
Besides, I think they felt they owed me something for writing the Battery manual (or was it Guitar Rig? Can't remember) in the aftermath of a hurricane in Florida that left me without water, electricity, cell phone, or gasoline for ten days. The only way I got the manual done was from running a laptop off the battery in my VW, and turning on the engine just long enough to charge it up. Yeah, I deserved Maschine for that!!

So much for the zimmer frame eh

Well as the OP is clearly some Child genius compared to most old farts who know nothing apparently, I think we know where thread is going don't we  .

Sorry but I really do hope you never buy or use Sonar, stick with fruity loops or something I suggest.
I also hope you never ever work in any professional recording studio, where the main tool people use is getting along with people.
 
Yup please lock this the child needs his bottle...

Your monikor says it all man. You're nothing but a splat, so get your fat useless overfed ass out of here and shut the ---- up! Capiche!

Such a charmer...

EVERYBODY knock off the negative posts.

Here's what I'd like to see improved, as I have mentioned before in other threads:
1) A basic 16-pad sampler that can layer. Chandler's idea is spot on.  I know a lot of you say buy a third-party solution, but my reasoning here (and for some of my other suggestions) is that most DAW's have this, and I think if you are going to call Cakewalk a 'competitor' then it should be competitive.  I'd also like to get a companion feature to automatically split audio and have it create an instrument track with samples already mapped across the pads.  I think Cakewalk recognized the lack of having this in Beatscape, but just really didn't end up executing it very well, and it was dropped.
 
2) Better audio warping/alignment. Mr. Anderton says AudioSnap is good, and it may be, but for me, trying to use it on a full mix it basically produces unusable results.  I actually use Ableton to beat align/warp audio because it's so good, and maybe that's where it's going to stay, but from what I've seen, I don't think that Audiosnap (IMHO) is even as good as other DAW's, besides Ableton.  I guess if I say that I need to prove it, and at some point, I'm going to do a head-to-head comparison of various DAW's audio warping facilities just so I can see if what I think is actually true.
 
3) Live recording of track output.  Yes, many have asked for this.  This would really be useful for on-the-fly sound design.  Yeah, you can bounce, but it's not as useful, at least to me.
 
4) I would add an option to the Split Clips dialog to split at divisions of beats less than a measure, or maybe by the Snap Settings.  I know you can do this manually, or you can go into Audiosnap, but the manual way is a bit cumbersome, and I don't think you should have to haul up Audiosnap to split beats.
 
Also, as an aside, I'd like to see Cakewalk get Ilan Bluestone (An EDM Producer that uses SONAR) in and have him do an artist's track walkthrough/seminar or something.  I'd be VERY interested in how he's using Cakewalk to produce EDM with.  I'd think Ilan would enjoy it, since he's done instruction on this kind of thing, and it would really be good for the SONAR brand as well. 
 
No, I don't want more loops.  Actually, don't really want more signature FX/ProChannel stuff either.  I'd be content with the top two items.  I do have work-arounds, but they are expensive or kill your workflow. 
 
 

I don't mind the slurring, I started it. Gonna tell you one thing though. If using Cream "without ara is a massive pain in the ass", you're kinda out of your league and you should find another line of work.

Drone7 I will lock this thread if you continue to post personal attacks. That is a serious violation of the CoC.  

And exactly how come you didn't pull-up the two dweebs who dished-out the attacks first?? Double standards? What's your caper man? Looksike favouritism to me. You're showing partiity, not good at all. Geezzz! You people never cease to amaze me. Captain obvious!

Still waiting for those dollar figures on what it costs to create a professional quality ROMpler library. You claimed it's something you KNOW.

The guy is actually just trolling. Look at his latest response to me. No reason to entertain this kid.

"And as i've already expressed, creating a new core library in a rompler is not as expensive as you would have us believe, and this i know!"

Most apparently it seems... He seems to know a lot...

I do know!
No dollar figures needed, simply because as you know dollars are not needed! All that's needed is Kontakt 5, plus one month of time, plus the instruments, no cost involved because I have access to all the instruments. Dollar fugures need not apply, because money is not the issue. You've been found-out man, wear it and move on. As to your other replies to my last post, none of it made sense, you seem to be trying to convince yourself.
