Sonar's event view is better than any other DAW.  It has color coding and you can make the text larger if necessary.  
 

How does one make the text larger in Event View in Sonar? (Note I am using Sonar Platinum).   I have not been able to find where to do that.

You can do it in Windows.  If you're running Windows 7, right-click on the desktop and choose Personalize/Display (left-hand lower corner) and then Set Custom Text Size DPI.    Any changes you make to the font size will impact the event list.  If you're running Windows 10 I don't know if it works the same way.

Seems pretty clear to me the OP meant the PRV, but called it the Event View.

So the OP is complaining about something and doesn't know what its called? 

I have to admit, it does grizzle me when people come on here to complain, and then don't seem to have any idea what they are actually complaining about, or why they are complaining in the first place. Come on people, sort your crap out! Is this guy complaining about the events list or the prv? Both seem great to me in Sonar, and Sonar is not my only DAW.

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.

 
Re-vamped MIDI was a common request from the community. The reaction to the PRV improvements has generally been favorable, and additional tweaks are forthcoming. 
 
You may be missing a salient point: what you call a "subscription" would be enticing only if the community approves of or enjoys the improvements. Many users are willing to adapt their workflow to take advantage of new features which, over the long run, generally result in more efficient operation. However, there are also people who have stayed on 8.5 because they have a similar outlook as yours.
 
Almost all companies upgrade their software over time; Cakewalk is no exception.

My only suggestion is if you want to bring up valid points (complain or vent), bring ammunition .
 

Sorry my friend I did not duck for cover. But became a little distracted by other life's event.

Today I received a message from Cakewalk, and while I have no issues with the message, the way parts of the message is worded may help explain my point.

When I upgraded, I did not read Terms, why? Because it does not matter to me, I just want to use the software regardless.

Now here is the message I received:
"Just days left before SONAR switches to simplified pricing! That means this is your last chance to upgrade or renew before the new pricing goes into effect on May 1st. You can read more about these pricing changes in our blog post here. Go to the Cakewalk Store today and snag an upgrade to SONAR Platinum to instantly gain access to exclusive features, like this month's Transform Tool! Offer ends midnight, April 30th."

My original point is, I feel if newly released features are tied to customer growth, then it adds or create a platform where I personally feel some things not necessarily needed are added constantly.

If someone ask me, what do you need from Cakewalk: I will say, stability. 

This type of practice is not isolated to Cakewalk, all companies do it, add a new color use same sound and change the name.

I should be able to complain and we can disagree, and that is okay.

Personally, I did not upgrade because of a feature or any email. I simply feel part of the Cakewalk journey.

Mr. Anderton:


I'll be the first to say that I am a Minimalist and a Traditionalist. 
As I indicated, Cakewalk is like a relative or a next door neighbor. If you ask me why I used Sonar, I will not tell you it is based on feature.

It's about feeling apart of something but that also mean I will get annoyed sometimes.

I have a full Adobe Suite and it's based on Subscription, so I get it.

I am just concern that sometimes when features are tied to growth, it can encourage tradition to become lost. 
I have seen brands become destroyed and identity lost because of this.

But that's for another post.

But that is what annoyed me, I did not make any changes to present this effect. I simply opened a previous project and the zoom is like crazy. I have very limited time and did not want to spend it messing with text I did not change.

Thanks my friend.

And there lies your problem: You could say, "How can I help? What are you having trouble with?"

What difference does it make what I complain about?

I have managed to resolve many issues just by looking at Help files. When I come to this forum it is mostly because I cannot find something or I am too frustrated to look.

I should not have to convince you or anyone else:

I often wonder how people like you behave in society? How do you view other people who are not like you? You appear to sound like one of those people who will kick a person begging for change because you have a job and he/she doesn't.

So my problems are irrelevant because you have not experienced it?

Come on, I hope you are better than that.

This is User forum, where users try to help other users deal with the program. If you want just complain to Cakewalk, send them a mail/PM.
 
So far you refuse not only explain what is the problem but also refuse to clarify in which component you see the problem.
 
The thread is now completely off-topic.
 
I vote for locking it

Is that really how you see this forum as a place to come when you cant find something or your too frustrated to look ?
Maybe you have us confused with someone ho gets paid to answer your questions.
I love helping people, but when people take it for granitite, I wont even bother. And you'll find many others feel the same way.
 
When I said "Bring some ammo, I meant.. if your coming here to complain at least know what your complaining about. you can complain/vent all you want, many people do.
 
but not knowing proper terminology (the names of certain features) in your argument, well its hard to take someone serious when they don't know the features they are complaining about.
 
Good luck
