When you say auxes, do you mean you'd use sends for it? That wouldn't be a good approach.

Of course not.
I mean routing main outputs of multiple tracks to one bus

Right. And just that somehow breaks your ability to be creative?

Wait, do we already have this?
 
If every track is routed to the same bus, if you click on any of them and check out the track inspector, can you see the bus fx bin, track fader and pan?
 
That's pretty close to what the OP is looking for. It only requires the OP to use the track inspector to get access to those controls. The bus pane can be hidden.

Indeed. It's all right there. I know we're all different, but he seems to be overstating his case a bit / not willing to give it a serious try.

Yeah, a bit more functionality in the folder itself would be nice. I've always thought they have some kind of volume fader offset for all tracks within, for example.

Couldn't you have the tracks within a folder routed to one or more buses?  I do that for most groups of instruments in a given folder, such as drums, strings, brass, etc.

Sure, you can already do pretty much anything you need to. But it would be nice to have some extra things easily to hand in track view.

scratchpading on 10 tracks in 8.5.3
 
Accessible from the get-go. with 5 layers per track... I see everything! the volume the pan, the the fx bin of everytrack, no need to bus anything,  I can grab anything quick, zoom in and out quick etc etc... it's airy.  and I can actually see the 10 tracks if I choose to and still see the fxbin and everything else.
 
 
 
scracthpading on 10 folders in X3
 
so besides having to set this mess up, I can't grab anything without reasonaly zooming in (because of the handle), the GUI is extreme... lines everywhere, text everywhrere, buttons... jesus the record one looks like a graphic bug (to me)... anyway can't see volumes, pans, nothing.
blind.
and I need those 10 buses, and I  cant see all fx's at once... that another view to manage
 
and impossible to see the 10 folders at once of course.
 
 
no-way.
 
 

As mentioned above, if you were using the track inspector, you'd see volume and pan controls.
 
I'm not quite sure what the point of this thread is now; you've obviously decided you're not going to consider anyone's suggestions in detail.

@Wanna Love X3 - I don't know why you are still posting, surely if you dislike it so much you would have gone back to working with 8.x by now and forgot about it.
 
This really reminds me of what Windows 3.x users were posting when Windows 95 came. With the utmost respect I suggest you stop wasting your time posting on this thread and spend the time learning to use the UI with an open mind (I think people have said this so many times now it's getting tiring). I'm afraid you are drawing conclusions way too fast and showing great gaps in your knowledge when it comes to X3 way too quickly. People have been trying to help you, but it feels like we are trying to help a lawyer for the X3 prosecution, you seem to have a single track mind and that is to hate X3 (not to like it as you say in the subject title). Now is the time to help yourself. SONAR X3 IS NOT SONAR 8.x. Accept it, have a little patience, learn it or just forget it.
 
Putting Sonar X3 on trial in the forums and complaining about it really doesn't help you learn the product, and trying make it behave like 8.x will not help your productivity either.
 
BTW this is a good video (all applies to X3 mostly).... I hope it helps....

Whiners like to whine... haters like to hate... I agree whole heartedly with you, Alex... the time spend regurgitating here is better spent learning the tools...
 
Mr. "wanna love X3", you are one of those scuzzy little flamers cluttering up forums with loads of bad energy... you're like arguing with a teabagging right winger... it is senseless. You're lazy, stuck, or just looking for attention. Your "handle" says it all...
 
My buddy tried X3 and ended up in Ableton as it "spoke" to him better... I tried Ableton and could never see switching... you just wallow in wallowing...
 
move on...
