Where's the improve staff view crowd? Did they jump ship?

Sonar Platinum Compatible With Thunderbolt 3 The Next To Come In Audio Interfaces For PC Windows 10
Check Out MOTU Website New Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface For PC.
Thanks Take Care

on top of stability and better performance in general.
 
Midi Aux tracks

My list:)
No dead space in Track view window.
 
New projects, new tracks and new recording looped tracks: The [R] and the [FX racks] need to be [OFF] Or user options to setup in Preferences.
 
The ability to completely remove/shut off the automation view options from the track view window.
 
The audio meter [db range] should be set by user as a permanent pre-project setting by user in Preferences.
 
Preferences [record] [Loop Recording] should be a pre-project setting that will default where the user wants it. (Like it was with past versions.)
 
[Bypass] screen resolution so larger displays can fit more channel strips and tracks on the screen. [Narrow-er] :)
 
The ability to separate the Console Strip view from the Buss view to use with multi displays.
 
Make the primary output level strip "thinner then narrow-er" :) (One slider when locked with audio meter)
 
Theme:
Combined color options of Color track strips of Mercury with the Dark options of Tungsten. A few levels from Light – Dark defaults to choose from.

ACT fixes (yeah, I know I'm the only one), actually you are not!

i guess all of the above, it will keep everyone happy , although for me stability and performance are great as is, better than it has ever been.
 
i wouldn't mind for the start screen to have the ability to have a little snippet of the project/song play when you hover your mouse over/click on or whatever, on a project in the start screen list, it would make identifying the project at hand much easier than just a thumbnail image if you are like me and have a habit of naming songs/projects with such descriptive titles as 'song 1', 'song 2', 'idea 1', 'idea 2' etc. not really a necessity, just a convenience i guess, and probably something i could remedy by other means, but still for me it would be nice.
 
otherwise just keep on trucking, i get closer and closer to returning to using sonar as my main daw, just not there yet.
 
oh . . . something like scratch pads and arranger tracks would also be good, i know there are work arounds, but they are work around's and for me not ideal, an 'actual' feature would be nice

Three big ones for me:
1. The Lennon/McCartney fix your crappy song button
2. The Freddy Mercury fix your crappy voice button
3. The Bob Ludwig fix your crappy recording button into a recording masterpiece

These would make 2017 my most successful year.

Great video support
 
Chord Track
 
Plugin that allow you to play a note and it plays a defined chord.  Plugin I've used for this has been buggy when played along with a fancy arpegiator program, so it would be nice to have something built in that does the same...and should be something pretty easy to put together. 

Mac OS version. :P
