Way back, when Cakewalk was MIDI only, there was a great little program you offered called Cakewalk Live that allowed you to easily play back cakewalk sequences on stage. It was playback only, with the emphasis on getting thru your set list. I think loading the complete Sonar Platinum for performance on my laptop is a waste of CPU overhead, when all I'm gonna do is execute a playlist. I  think a new  endeavor, Sonar Live perhaps,  Playback only, with a revamped customization for  lyric view, sys x view, playlist view, etc.  would be a great tool  for us working musicians.     

This would be awesome, but sadly seems unlikely. There have been a few threads but there just doesn't seem to be that much interest, which surprises me. Those of us who use this feature are certainly attached to it. I would happily settle for a revamped/updated playlist!
