Unofficial Poll; New Features - Monthly, Quarterly, other?
There have been a number of threads where the timing of New Features has been discussed. Some feel the present approach (Monthly) is a good one, while others feel that New Features should be introduced less frequently ( e.g. Quarterly ) with maintenance versions in the intervening months. Now that a year has passed for many, if not most, Sonar 2015 "Members" it is probably a good time to take a quick survey around the following question:
How often would you like to see New Features introduced, e.g. Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-annually or Yearly?
If possible, it would be nice if the users simply posted their preference in one or two words (no more that 10) and not give long-winded reasons or wax lyrical about the good old days! Feel free to reference a previous post to support your position or start a separate thread.
WARNING; Some will be tempted to start a debate about what a New Feature is but please try to resist your natural "fight or flight" instincts for just one Thread and apply common sense as to what it means.
Thanks, Here is my preference,
Quarterly

I prefer the current model that allows choosing whether you want to update monthly, quarterly, yearly, or some variation.

I would love to have next year's release right now. Jump right into the Deloreon and grab it from the future (go too far and I would have to grab the PC hardware as well).......!
Seriously though, I like it as it is, monthly, with the odd out-of-band release... The monthly gives us something new to look forward to at the end of the month.....

I would like to see areas dealt with, so Mix View, Staff View, PRV, Step Sequencer etc. Obviously some views are larger than others, so you'd see actiopn around these more frequently, but over time all views would get addressed more frequently. This way, they can look at the bugs, look at the feature ideas, work on it as a whole, release fixes and features, some videos on using the functionality, blogs in one month and the following month release any further bug fixes that may have arisen. So the features could work out every 2 months, but the fixes flow monthly.

It would make my life easier if we could do bugfixes when they were available. Weekly for that. As far as new plugins maybe every other month at least. I work every day in my studio and have some very tight deadlines staring me in the face and then here comes an update that ties my computer to get a new toy and then figure out how to use the new toy if it is something I can use. That time taken away, even if just 10 to 15 minutes, eats in to my work schedule something fierce sometimes.
Bugfixes to me are far more important and justify updating on a regular basis. That update is worth it if it helps my rig run faster and more stable!
Anyway, I think about those guys that are in development sitting in a cubicle sweating because they have got to come up with some new earth-shaking plugins every month. How long can they keep that pace up without getting burned out? My hats off to those guys! Lighten their load a little and do the plugins every 2 to 4 months. Get them on the bugfix. Love you, guys.
