• SONAR
  • Sonar Event View just awful.

I just upgraded and I am not sure what the idea with the Event View is.
This thing is worse than flying Peter Griffin's cow-kite. 
Maybe I can configure this but it is simply bad.
 
This is why I have issues with subscriptions, because sometimes a company may feel compelled to make changes as a way of keeping subscriptions enticing.

I do not believe the sales model has anything to do with how the event list looks today. The event list looked the same in X1.

What exactly is wrong with it? May be you can post a screen-shot (if it looks so bad on your installation).

The Event Viewer hasn't changed in years. What version did you upgrade from?

Come on scook. You really believe I think Cakewalk moved to subscription because of event viewer?
I am speaking in general, that when a software model is based on subscription, sometimes there is a pressure to deliver changes that may or may not be beneficial to users.

I believe similar concern has already been raised regarding changes to the Notation Editor:

The point is, the sales model has nothing to do with the Event List. As proof consider how long the Event List has existed in its present form. Furthermore, the Event List has nothing to do with the post you linked. If you choose to roll it all up in a big ball feel free to do so but I fail to see the value in the exercise.

There are a variety of reasons software changes happen most have little to do with the way the product is acquired by users. Keep in mind Cakewalk only sells their software. The purchase may be made in a single payment or spread out over time. There is no SONAR subscription.

You keep talking about point of sale and a specific feature.
I am a customer, and like a movie review, I find a feature/scene horrible.
 
I may have referenced the wrong feature, given I am not at my computer but after I upgraded I noticed editing notes have changed.

It's subjective and obviously, I am not going to get in a ping-pong like argument. 

Thanks for the conversation.

You brought it up.

FWIW, I am a customer too. It is a shame you find a feature horrible. There is little I can do about that.

Maybe so, then I have no idea what you are posting about. Do you?

Sonar's event view is better than any other DAW.  It has color coding and you can make the text larger if necessary.  Not sure what problem you have with it, not to mention it hasn't changed in many years.

My apologies: I was under the impression you are one of those Admins with second alias or account suppressing views of those who has not drank the cool aid and that are actual paying customers. Or you are simply one of those trolls/bullies.
 
Any one should be allowed to come in here and say they do not like something about the software. They should not need to have a justifiable reasons. I hate protocols, period! I prefer Sonar, I should not have to provide any reason.

You do not need to respond but again you just cannot help yourself. 
 
You can try to help me figure things out and try to understand my frustration or just not respond.
