Not sure if this is for CW to work on, but this is what I'd love to see.: WHen we hide or archive a track in Sonar, the track should become invisible in the control surface ...MCU in my case. apologies if this has already been discussed (and beaten to death) rhythmeus +1 for me Best John

Put all options in the options dialog box. That includes aud.ini, cakewalk.ini, freeze options, meter options and so on. Doesn't mean you need to remove options from where they are, of course, just add the possibility of centrally configuring them.
Took me years to realize that a button is the only way to configure audio meter options like horizontal/vertical. This is really not what buttons are used for in Windows programs.

Dear Cakewalk,
Not to rehash old feature requests but with the advent of better converters at cheaper prices, integrating external hardware during mixdown is more a reality for the average Sonar user. Automatic delay compensation (ADC) for external hardware is the one feature I wish to see added to Sonar 7.

This may have been suggested previously ... I would like the ability to burn Red Book-compatible audio CDs on-the-fly from the arrangement, without having to take any destructive or intermediary steps. Additionally, it would be nice to be able to create audio DVDs, DVD-Rom backups and even MP3 CDs directly from Sonar. Our friends using Samplitude already have these capabilities.

I would love to see the ability to set a restore point, or rather multiple restore points, for a project.
The idea being that I can essentially save the state of a project and then tweak and play about with it with the ability to undo all the tweaking with one click, or undo different levels of tweaking with one click. Even better would be the ability to A/B different restore points - allowing you to cycle through and listen to various configurations.

I would like to ask not for more features, but fully implemented features:
- Implement usable ACT, i outlined a possible usable implementation here: http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.asp?m=1020385
- Finally add ALL possible commands to the key binding dialog, there are missing commands.
- Moving a loop point during playback should not stop audio for a short time
- All configurations in ONE place, and with the option to export/import everything.
The list could go on for a while... While i know that shiny new features attract new customers and make everybody update to the newest version, it would be nice to see that the new SONAR 7.0 would be more bug free than 6.0. my 2 cents

Point three is essential, I think, I was stunned to find i could change loop points without glitches. Used to do this with Cake pro on midi and assumed that 10 years later this wouldn't even be a feature on an audio package bt part of the operation

Yes, Restore points or even mix templates. Track with a light load and then load up your typical 4 piece band mix template and start from there.
Restore points could be similar too. Create a template project which has a restore point after it has been set up for a full mix. Then strip it down for quick and easy tracking. When done...restore to the full mix setup. That would be KILLER.
I know it won't be in 7 but maybe we can get in the Queue Cake?

Heres another vote for a pause button.
Mike
Me too. Cake needs to improve the play/pause/stop functionality. I think this has already been discussed in other threads. As it is implemented today, it is a workflow hindrance for me.

. more track freezing arrangement options, like 'preserve updated clip positions / editing on unfreeze'. arm audio track during playback. better crossfade algorithms in Audio Snap - to get rid of clicks and pops from slicing on off axis transients. .

I don’t know if it’s mentioned earlier in this thread (to much to read through) but I would like to be able to place “busses†on the left side of the mixer…e.g. if your snare drum uses two tracks it would be much more intuitively to have the sum of these two tracks right beside the actual snare tracks rather then far on the right in between all the other busses…

Better soloing! That is: exclusive soloing of a track when pressing the solo button in combination with for instance the Ctr button. If you have, say, four tracks with different versions of the same instrument and want to compare them, you could thus switch between them in exclusive solo mode with only one “solo†click, instead of – as now – first turning the solo off for the previous track and then turning it on for the next. Or am I stupid: is it possible now to pick any track and turn it to solo while previously soloed tracks are automatically “off-soloed� Or has this been proposed a hundred times already? wb

How about a note pad/comment sticky attached to the track. What it would be is one would be able to insert a comment similar to the per clip FX bin. This would be indicated by a flag in the track at the point where it is inserted. Clicking on it would open it to read or edit. The inspector would have a widget not unlike the patch drop-down to access the list of comments from there or on the track. All track types would support this new way of annotating a project. I would like them to resemble stick-its. Best John

I'm confused. I've seen the feature request for a pause button for years, but have to clue why one is needed. I just spacebar play/stop and the project picks up from that spot. Is there something more a pause button would do?

YES, a Pause button would allow the transport to temporarily stop without moving the Now Time.
I would think that by now, CW would have added it just out of being sick of hearing it. It's not glamorous, but it would sure help a lot to have one. And it would be 100% backwards-compatible!!

YES, a Pause button would allow the transport to temporarily stop without moving the Now Time. Lordy, lordy, again with this!  Hi Donald: This has been hashed and re-hashed ad infinitum on this forum, honest! You can probably find explanations of the difference a true Pause would make just within this thread, but if you do a forum search you should find plenty others. In a nusthell: Don't change the Now Time, don't rewind to the Now Time, don't DO ANYTHING except pause playback, period! -Susan

there's an option whether the now time jumps back to playback start or stays where you stopped.

. so, if everytime the pause button issue comes up, and we all pause to discuss pause, are we actually in some kind of thread pause, or, at the very least, life pause mode, ourselves?? let me just pause for minute to contemplate this pause phenomenon....

Very funny. And weird, too. The Pause button is one of those relatively simple (even trivial) things that CW just hasn't been able to get executed. Why? Is there some central decision maker in CW with an irrational hatred for Pause buttons?

And it can't be Ron Kuper anymore But seriously, Project 5 has the pause button. Please, pretty please put the pause button in Sonar 7 Raise of hands for this feature. I'd upgrade for this feature alone, well almost. We need the MIDI improvements Too!!!!!!!  Ed

Is there some central decision maker in CW with an irrational hatred for Pause buttons? I don't know. Wasn't it Louis Armstrong who said "There's some people, if they don't know you can't tell 'em?"? It's so obvious to many why this would be useful, and it's been documented on this forum so often over the past few years that I really don't feel like doing it again. There was an excellent thread/explanation re this some time ago, but I don't even feel like finding/posting that link again! For those of you who don't know what we're talking about, pls do a forum search! IMO, either you get why it would be useful, or you don't. I'm sick of this, I tell you, sick of it! It's not really that hard a concept. Aargh- -Susan
