Something like Ableton's Beatseeker, a plug that allows the sequencer to lock to a live drummer (or other rhythmic source material).

Actually Melodyne can do that now with the tempo extraction feature. You just drag a clip to the time and even if it wasn't played to a click, you'll have a tempo map that follows along. It's not real time, though.

Amen brother!

Anybody mentionned plugin gui displayed it the browser ...ala studio one or fruity ?

I found myself with less remorses when i see all those beautyfull guis like i own gears lol not zillion dolars spent in 0 and 1 lol

One. I would like to work in Sonar with Studio One workflow as much as it is possible.
To be able to select Studio One emulation mode.
 
Two. A Patcher or Multi-Instruments modular environment. 
 
Three. Would love to see midi expression as in Cubase.
 
Four. Would love to see a Sonar and FL Studio as a VSTi with midi and audio file drag and drop exchange.
 
Have you noticed that no additional "future Updates" have been added for a long time.
 
Other than that I love Sonar Platinum!
 

Re-visioning of ACT and the ability to readily detect/profile/assign the transport, faders and knobs on the most commonly used MIDI devices of the last 5-6 years. Including my 1st gen MPK61, of course.

I would like this, as well.

forgive me if any of this is currently possible... let me know if there is already a solution to any of these.
 
1. stability.  Seems like Sonar crashes 2-3x a day on me.
     I also get other 'glitches' during production... something that is not normal and not reproducible.
2. Add time to start of rendered track.  
     I often open my project in SF and insert 1 sec at start of song.
     Either a negative measure bar or an option in export mix popup.
     Someone may have a solution for this already, but I'm not aware of it.
3. Drag a track to any place in any folder.  I can't insert a new track and drag it to the end of a folder.
    I dislike using the 'remove from folder' and 'insert to folder'.
4. Ability to insert an EOF marker and render directly...
    it's a pain to do CTL+A then highlight the track length before exporting.
    has someone built a shortcut to do this?
 
I like many of the other ideas here.

1) a real and heavy Staff View improvement
2) a little bit of Video editing like cut, paste, move and so on....
3) peace for all.... :-)

I'd like the ability to fully color the entire tracks and channels like I was able to do in Mercury.   I don't like the small strip at the bottom of the channels or at the left edge of each track in the track view,  I want the entire track and Console view to accept coloring.
