The (un)Official SONAR X5 wishlist.
Since I can only imagine that any X4 wishlist is already locked down, I thought I be ahead of the curve on this one. Me? 1. Nested folders. (I'll be soooooooo embarrassed if this in X4) 2. Fully workable drum maps with the ability to import/export .xls(x) map data

RMS Normalising of seperate left and right channel
To center a stereo recording.
We digitize old tapes and vinyls and miss this stereo-rms-normalising.
I think only Steinberg Wavelab can do this.
I have never found any plugin for Sonar to do this.
We digitize tapes, vinyl, dat, md ... in broadcast and studio quality for publishers, public institutions and individuals.4 x Intel Quad-CPU, 4GHz Sonar Platinum (Windows 10 - 64Bit) and 14 computers for recording tapes, vinyl ...
4 x RME Fireface 800, 2 x Roland Octa Capture and 4 x Roland Quad Capture, Focusrite .... Studer A80, RP99, EMT948 ...

+ 1 on the Sonar Power Books. An "ambition" button would be cool. An "extra hours in the day" button to create more available recording/mixing time would be awesome. An "Okay just leave it alone, it's not getting any better" alarm. A "stop the G.A.S. you already have stuff that does this" alarm.

My humble wish list: - MultiDock that can stay on 2nd monitor even if it's empty.
- Floatable Project Info window and support for RTF text.
- File stats away from the Project Info to a main menu item.
- Save last used file to Recent files registry entries upon file load (to preserve it in case Sonar crashes).
- PNG support for track icons.
- Quick group support for Load track icon.
- Expand/collapse all take lanes.
- Expand/collapse all automation lanes.
- Create track list to clipboard (as text, xml or html).
- Customize empty MultiDock fg & bg colors.
- External insert: customizable external hardware image (per instance).
- Console view: unlimited send modules.
- Console view: show all modules menuitem.
- Staff view: fix longstanding shortcomings.
- Rec arm on the fly + record fails to record take (waveform is drawn during rec but it disappears on stop). Fix needed.
- External Insert: allow mono send / stereo return.
- Allow defining mono inputs in friendly names.

- Internal Track routing (allow routing of audio track out to another audio track for resampling/recording of vst audio in realtime)
- Gapless audio engine (makes a big difference when it comes to the next request)
- Live looping vst/module or ability to record in a clip slot function like the Ableton Live (yes I could just switch to live, but I want to use Sonar as this is where all is recorded and it minimises the amount of time I have to spend bouncing/splitting tracks and such.
- Sonar Playlist Pro - An upgrade on the playlist function to make it easier to use Sonar in a live setting.
- Sonar Wave editor pro - Sonars Wave editing lags seriously behind many other daws, it could do with a refresh and make it just a case of... click waveform, waveform opens in dock with all options to adjust/trim/timestretch/beatgrid/quantise and such.
