I often use the info page to take pretty extensive notes both for tracking and mixing. I want it to be one click away as a full page, not hiding in the browser and coming up as a tiny window to the side of my screen. I don’t want to have to do the extra clicks to bring up docking option menus to make it full screen. When it docks it doesn’t even say ‘Notes’ or ‘info’ as a tab at the bottom of the screen, it is labelled ‘Browser’. Plus the term ‘Notes’ is ambiguous in a music program where notes are what you play on an instrument.
I’m a bit tired of this ‘moving the goal posts’ with every update. It seems, for the way I work anyway, that every new change is to my detriment. It’s not just different, it’s worse and I can see no advantage in the change.
Personally the only reason I use to occasionally update is because the previous version was not compatible with some new third party plug in, or because of a bug that was ironed out in a new version. If compatibility and bugs were not an issue I would cheerfully return to Sonar 8.5, my favourite version of Sonar.
