StudioOne and Arranger Track

Finally spent a little looking at StudioOne, and I really like their Arranger track. I would love to have something similar in Sonar to quickly remodel a whole song, insert new sections, without complex copy/paste/cuts. Even just looking at a song with a larger track for sections would help (something like a lane for markers with colors for sections).
The fx splitter is kinda cool too but I can live without it. Also they have nice midi type of plugins (splitters, arpeggiators, etc.).

Thanks - was not aware of the feature forum. I hope it is on the radar of the bakers...

Yeah, lets just not add anything new that is seen as useful by the user base in other DAWS.
 

There is already a request. Please do not encourage duplicate requests. Duplicates get merged.

I'm a techie and been around since the CP/M days of Supercalc and Wordstar, and now I'm on Win10. Having more than one company develop a certain type of software gives us choices.  Taken to the extreme, if every program looks and feels like the competitor, what's the point of multiple programs in a given field?
In the auto industry, the only difference between mfgs would be the color of the paint.
 
PS- I may have been a touch sarcastic in that post, but this is the first PC forum I've been on where a huge number of folks either use old outdated versions on old pc/OS, or seem to want the software to conform to their workflow, rather than conforming their workflow to the newest versions. How's that for a run-on sentence?

In a sense, this is very much what Project 5 is/was.
Then again, if one is pretty deterministic about how a song will flow, then querying a bunch of outcomes can be a drag.

Sorry for not knowing that there was already a request for this. I remember there being discussion but not specific requests. I would have thought multiple requests show that a feature is popular.

Hi Charly-

As it happens, I'm about 3 months younger than you are! My first computer was a Kaypro, so I'm also familiar with CP/M, Supercalc and Wordstar, not to mention dBase II, although I'm on Windows 8.1 for now. I also remember when Lotus 1-2-3 ruled the spreadsheet world rather than Excel. IMO, the point of multiple programs in any field is competition, so that the end user has choices and the choices s/he makes encourage developers to improve their product to better compete with other choices in the field. Every DAW will still have its unique "personality" and look & feel, but I don't see anything wrong with advocating for features another DAW has that might make SONAR more attractive to more users.
