How 'bout my most unfavorite features?
Like Control Surface add Marker no longer working.
Wonky "Delete" key when I put the Synth Rack in the Browser where I'M USED TO IT!
Sorry to shout, but that's just bull shirt.
Everything else; pretty cool. Lovin' my SONAR Platinum.
Why don't we "fix" the Synth Rack, put it "back" in the browser; if you want to "dock" it be my guest!
Oh, but please do leave "Project Info" in the Browser (some of you might think that's "notes"); I got used to that real fast.
Oh and by the way, FYI, rolling back to 2016.9 resolves the Marker and Delete issues.
Just sayin'...

When did Lenses come on board?
If they don't work in "9" no big deal, I never "found" them anyway.
Are they anything like the Screensets I don't use?

Hey,
I am happy! I said "lovin' SONAR!"
And I truly do.
Rolling back to "9" was simple.
That's a feature I LOVE, not "new" but still.
Things will get sorted, I'm confident of that!

#1 - Splat for life!!! - lifetime updates
 
Then in chronological order:
 
SONAR 2016.04
Cakewalk LP EQ and MB
Overloud TH3 Cakewalk Edition
 
SONAR 2016.05
Tungsten Theme (I loaded X3 today, first time in a long time, and I thought ... "Wow, what a dated look", LOL!)
 
Cakewalk 2016.10
CA-2A Leveling Amplifier Is Currently Free
 
SONAR 2016.11
Synth Handling Improvements (Synth Rack)
Lenses
Matrix View Enhancements
Improved Built-in Audio Support (WASAPI)
 
Overall, many various fixes!!!
 
Since I only jumped on Platinum in the middle of 2016, I have found that a lot of the Platinum improvements since X3 from 2015 were awesome as well!  Still catching up on all the new features
 
So for honorable mention, I have to give a big shout out for Synth Recording!!! Since I mostly work in MIDI and soft synths, this is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!
 
Same for Aux Tracks and Patch Points!!! Huge as well!!!  Excellent!!!
 
It just keeps getting better
 
And as a bonus comment, I must add that I was watching a YouTube review for Cubase 9. and the reviewers were falling all over themselves about this amazing interface change in Cubase 9, they referred to as *the Lower Zone.  ROTFL!!!  How long has Sonar had a Mutlidock???
 
*Lower Zone
The lower zone of the Project window allows you to display specific windows and editors
in an integrated and fixed zone of the Project window.  Like the Mix Console view, the Piano Roll, etc ... plus they added a Media Bay in the "Right Zone" of the Project Window.  They should have named the interface "Skylight", as well, ha!
