That's the spirit Craig ...!

I think merging the FSF with this thread and leaving it here might be OK...
 
As for when X4 might come out, giving hints and times about upgrades and not keeping to them is a BAD idea, just ask Larry, lol.

all I'm really hoping for in "X4" is touchscreen 'stuff'...  the rest of Sonar works beautifully for me.  yeah man, there is always some quirky stuff with software but at the end of the day, I continue to make a living with this product.  My day gig is a producer using Sonar.  There are absolutely NO show stoppers in X3e.  Happy New Year!

I better not mention drum maps... Moving on then ;)

It's 2015. X4 better come with a self producing engine that makes music for you, a midi editor that arranges based on brainwaves and my freaking hoverboard.

I don't think its going to be called X4, new year, new company, new version, and the number four sounds old in 2015, maybe sonar X2015 or sonar X2016 :)

Fred is probably not on the short list of new names.

Every morning I check to see if X4 has been released. I have the forum pinned to my Windows 8 start screen. I hit it as soon as I wake up every morning with hope.

I happen to agree with Craig that it's a good thing to not have a "scheduled" release annually.  I think it is far better to let the Bakers cook up the next release to perfection and not rush it out.  As to new features, I would always like to see stability, compatibility and audio efficiency improved, but I don't know what they could really add to a new release that would DAZZLE the buyer.  I mean, it's got a lot of everything that I can think of.  Unless it might be something like the Cubase features called Chord Track and Chord Assistant... 

The oracle of delphi is saying that  the new sonar release is  announced
arround 22 - 25 January 2015.
Awaiting big surprises  .
Can´t say more without shredding my permission to ask the oracle..........sorry.
