Easy -

1. MIDI chase
2. Synth audio recording
3. Bus pane aim assist
4. Ripple Edit
5. Free mp3 encoding

 
 

5. happened because the licensed expired.
 
So easy, then name 20. Even then would it be the reason that Sonar was unstable. Are you supporting Cactus's claim that this is the reason that Sonar is unstable? 

They did not have to do it and free mp3 export was a frequent request. Moreover, they gave it to every Cakewalk DAW customer past and present.
 
Don't change the subject the challenge was name 5 user requested changes. There are many more but why should anyone bother since you fail to appreciate the improvements whatever the source. Out of synth audio recording came patch points and aux tracks. From a suggestion came plug-in upsampling. Also mix recall, more PC FX, improved plug-in layouts, more user control over the UI, cloning instrument tracks.... Feel free to refresh your memory here, the associated knowledge base articles, supporting e-zines and Tech+Music publications. IIRC Tech+Music was user requested too.

How many are going to come back and flood feature requests that their "new love" could do, but Sonar hadn't implemented yet?  In other words...  Bend Sonar into its' competition.
Boy.... a thick channel would be nice and an interface that perfectly integrated with the software....even used the same native plugs on their hardware, where you could transfer settings from computer to hardware.
Maybe colors that look like "cotton candy" at first, but the gaudy-ness of it, starts to grow on you...
ha!

I never left.
 
Feature requests? Fix the bugs first. But I don't expect the new owners to "reissue" SONAR as it currently is. I expect they want to blend their existing products with the crazy advanced IP that is SONAR. I'll wait to see what comes of that before coming up with feature requests.

The one obvious request someone might have: A proper "Sheet Music/Score Editor" - I got MuseScore (free) and "Forte" (Not so free), so I'm OK on that front. They don't directly integrate with SONAR, but they work for what I need.

Beyond that, I want to see what BandLab comes up with before charging in with the Demands... I mean requests.

The challenge wasn't to you Mr walking Sonar Encyclopedia. If it was I wouldn't have said 5.
 
And the subject was 'endless pursuit of feature requests was why Sonar became so unstable for many.'
 
So no subject has been changed.
 
 
Patch points would have been one I named.
 
And your link is to loads of feature implemented, that's not the same as Feature Requests. I stated these came from Cakewalk not Feature requests.

Not from what you posted. Your often repeated comment that Cakewalk did not implement user requests is simply not true. A simple check of the link I provided invalidated the comment. Cakewalk was continually on the bug hunt too. Look at the link provided for that info if you so desire. Better still why not look to the future rather than complain about the past.

You say abut changing the topic, but now you are drawing from past threads.
 
We call that moving the goal posts in England.
 
This is a dishonest conversation based on a different agenda than the post I made above. Probably because you weren't happy about my posts this morning.

Myself I think this endless pursuit  of feature requests was why Sonar became so unstable for many. 
There is a huge difference in stability between using Home Studio and Splat for me,, on the same 2 computers and set up parameters. Sonar ( SPLAT) randomly has crashed for me. Mostly during midi editing and sometimes after saving and export. 
 
So I started working in Home Studio as it has all the same features I need for midi and after more than a year HS has never once crashed. So you can go ahead a dream of adding even more junk and making it more un stable, but my wish for what ever these people produce is the same stability Home Studio ( yes and Cubase)  has. I often wondered if Artist was also more stable? 
 
And last night a midi track for no reason decided to add a overlapping few measures of wonderfully out of tune piano chords at the end of the song.. It also extended the drum track by 10 measures???? These weird bugs are what we get used to, but they don't ever happen in HS,, why? Because it is simplified and what it does have, works solid. From there you can start adding code and the more code you add, the more stuff is going to go weird. 

Johnny, I can tell you that my install of 8.5 Studio is far more stable than my 8.5 Producer ever was, which is why that is what I am now using. Although I plan to upgrade as soon as that becomes possible. I have been regretting that I did not do so before "the announcement."  So Artist could be more stable than Sonar Platinum. Anyone know?

Nope, just trying to dispel the myth that Cakewalk did not implement user requests. Done that...moving on.

Wow Lots of speculation, which is to be expected.
 
All I care about, ATM is don't forget to give me my algo so I can reinstall the product I paid for.
The rest we really have no control over..............
 
Just keep the promise made way back when..........
