I want X3 to be flooded with terabytes of analysis algorithms, capable of determining whether the key, timing, overall sound etc. will be a hit song or not. And I want all of this displayed as a giant "turd" icon in the top right hand corner of the screen. The icon will start out as an actual turd with flies buzzing around it and as you edit and mix, whilst utilizing countless tips and automatic fix ups from X3. The flies will disappear, as the turd slowly becomes more and more metallic looking. Until eventually the turd is displayed as a golden, polished, gleaming, glorious nugget! For that will be when every user will know that they have created manufactured pop magnificence!!! Leaving only one question. Where are they going to hold the Grammys? Because they're going to need space to fit every CW user on the planet!!!
 
This is a real problem...

scook - you're kidding? Really? I'm going to give that a try next time I'm on it. Wow!

In Sonar X3 I wish to see VST expression map. I try to do it with Drums Map and it works. In Cubase this is very easy and very helpful.

Region system and region manager. Or Arrangement track.

A) Maybe an easier way to convert your midi into audio from a vst by right clicking the track or bus. Also when bouncing to midi clips, have a dialog for preferences to be set and the clip gets added to your clip library? Sort of like preview does but maybe populate? Populate audio rather than having to export and import audio?
 
B) One thing really gets me, the copyright info "ID3". I'd like to have a place to set the default information and a setting to auto fill data when applicable. This way I may only have to change track info rather than the whole array.
 
C)Another thing is simple track lane quick sort. have a button that lists some sorting options and on go could remove empty lanes or and compress to minimum lanes. I don't care that it is smart rather than it is clean and controllable. However the smart could be an option on the list; sort by record #(which may build more track lanes but whatever)removes empty lanes if selected and arranges by # on go.

Wishlist wish: A way to anonymously vote on what new features will go into the next major release. Doesn't have to be on every new feature, especially something major that must be kept secret, but for features that are being considered which could otherwise be left out, like Layers. Example: We now have Take Lanes, which replaced Layers, but would we like to see the Layers feature come back alongside?

Choice to run Sonar without stupid smart tools for users smart enough to figure out which tool to use on their own and without screensets for  . . . . . . those with multiple monitors.

 
I don't get it man ?
 
1st- you don't need to use the smart tool.
you can use the one tool of your choice.

2cnd-you don't need to use screen sets.
everything is docked except the track view.
just grab a dock and drag it to another monitor (Example: Console view)
 
I am sorry though, if I misunderstood your post :)

Remove:
 
o The current vertical zoom limitation in piano roll; I want to see fat notes without using that magnifying glass thing.
 
o The double-linking madness affecting step sequencer clips.
 
Add:
 
o Logical Editor.
 
o Bacon.
 

take lanes - without rebuild function they are useless

I'm with you there, Charlie.

Unless I misunderstood, you don't need to use the smart tool if you don't want. I, personally like the smart tool, it saves time.

I also find screen sets useful. Over multiple monitors.

X3 Producer wish:
 
I would like to save a mp3 file after 30 days of using the software.
