There is no talk from Presonus about integrating Notion into Sudio One.

I also use Studio One. The most I expect is that there will be some form of communication developed between the. 2 programs but it won't be integration but it will be better than something like Rewire which is currently available.

Hi,
ok there is no talk about integration til now.
But as you said if those two programs can communicate with each other it is much better than anything else.

What I think would be great is just a better version of what is available now, with a floating toolbar that displays note markings (seriously - the drop down menu for selecting note values is wayyyyyyyy too slow), a way to write in tuplets, and a few things like that. That would be a huge, huge help for those of us that use Sonar X for soundtrack work - we need to be inputting into a sequencer.
 
It has been very frustrating using Sonar all these years so far and not see any improvements at all. Surely it's not a huge task to do a few improvements like that. A complete overhaul would be overkill IMO. There's no need to make Sonar a publishing program too. It just needs a little attention to have a functioning MIDI staff tool.
 
I really hope we can see something like that in the near future. I do like the layout of the staff tools and it's part of the initial reason I got so hooked on Cakewalk. You can run the staff all the way across the screen, it's a bold big font, it's actually great to work with. With a toolbar, fixes and support for writing tuplets out properly etc, it would be fantastic and I would be stoked, as I'm sure many others would be too.
 
Please please please!!!

I believe this thread is about to become self aware...

That would be interesting. Perhaps when it does, it will write a new program and solve this mess once and for all.

Thanks again Sid, for starting this thread.
With almost 13,000 views and closing in on 500 comments, maybe now Cakewalk will believe staff view IS actually relevant to more than just a few of us!
 
Keep it alive folks.

+1 on the floating toolbar for note length. For now I have keyboard shortcuts for that.

If Cakewalk wants my 200.00 for an upgrade (still on 853 here), they will have to improve staff view. Otherwise I will continue to sit tight and wait for another company to finally produce a complete DAW. Perhaps Reaper, perhaps Presonus. Somebody is going to do it. My hope is that it's Cakewalk, but I'll emigrate to a better land if the opportunity presents itself.

I just bought Digital Performer 8 for Windows.  I'm moving on, after 22 years with Sonar I have lost faith in the company in terms of their notation editor.  Too many versions with no fixes, too many "we'll get to that in the next version".  It's like the boy who cries wolf, at some point you simply stop believing him.

Best of luck Jerry. You're a very talented composer and arranger. Sorry to see you go, but understand your reasoning. Hope you'll stay in touch, as I still believe there are positive changes around the corner.
