I went over the list and its rather stunning.  I did know as many do some of the major things in Sonar 2015 but there is so much more. Even having the program I'm still stunned by the depth CW went into do bring this Sonar to us.  
 
This is a must read even if you don't have Sonar 2015 yet. 

Yeah, that's why I got upset when someone dismissed it as "half an update" with "minor modifications." A lot has been done that will have considerable impact now as well as moving forward. It's also why I get upset when people say if they pay their money for an update they don't know what they'll be getting in 2015...this shows some of what they got for their money in addition to the obvious feature additions.

Not only that, when some people say (in other threads) that Cakewalk are sitting on their arses and not delivering what they want immediately, well the blog article was released on a Sunday... when most people are sitting on their arses.

Best point of the thread!!

I wrote 80% of that article yesterday and Craig spent half his day today "mastering" it. He has great editorial skills!
Wordpress's capabilities are only slightly better than a 1970's command line editor.

Its funny I was thinking that Craig fits in very well with the CW people because you all seem to be workaholics. 
 
The above post kinda of underlines that. 
 
I always look forward to these kinds of postings by you Noel. They always give great insights into what you have all been up to.  I am always amazed at how much you stuff into Sonar and the thinking behind it is very interesting to say the least. 
 
Needless to say you have another winner on your hands.

Craig, The real problem I see is that The Customers didn't know what they were getting other than the New Features listed. They had No Way of knowing which bugs, if any, were addressed. To some of us bug fixes are more important than New Features or receiving 3rd party software that we received with X3 or purchased the Full version on our own.
 
Those of us that had issues and, worked with support and, our issues were confirmed as issues and, had submitted bug reports had to set and wait as there is No Way to get any info about whether your issue is being worked on or not. You can inquire forever and a day but unless you are someone special you will not get a reply, at all. Then 10 months later the New version is released but no 'issues list' is available and no one knows when it will be available.
 
So what do you do? You just hope that Cakewalk fixed your issue and spend the $149 anyway? You trust that surely they will fix something that seems so simple. I did, I purchased, and my issue is still not fixed. Seth commented that my issue is still on the radar and will make some notes but I have no idea when I will hear about it. That particular thread was locked by the Host so I had no idea how I will hear anything back. I sent seth a PM inquiring as to what I could do to find out if my issue can or will be fixed but I received no reply at all.
 
I have a lot of respect for your methods and opinions and am curious what You would do if you were in my shoes. I know you have other matters to take care right now but sometime Please let me know. Right now I'm not sure which way to turn. As I see it I can either accept that my issue will not be fixed or I can continue forward and bug the living daylights out of Cakewalk until they get tired of hearing from me...
 
Kind regards,
Rick Tucker
 
 

Rick - what was your issue? URL? I can't speak for Cakewalk but it looks like we are getting bug fixes every month now.
