A couple of annoying things for me:
 
I would like all folder tracks to be narrow by default. Once I start track zooming, the folders are left out of the party for making them narrow - forcing a manual resize.
 
Tracks should be searchable. In use fx should be searchable.  - I would like a project navigation and track details window to quickly navigate to a track/group/buss/fx. I think some other daws have something like that - it looks useful. 
 
Really dislike the right click/popup fx window from yesteryear. The browser's look and mode of operation spoiled me. On that note, I would like to rearrange and edit the order/names of fx within the browser - not have to go to the plugin manager.
 
On the plugin manager note - I want it searchable both on the staging side and customized view side. When building these views form scratch, I can forget if I've placed the plug in my browser or not. Just a little indicator would be nice.
 
I would like a hot key to bring a floating popup of any channel strip I would like to tweak regardless of the window I'm working in. For instance being able to hit control/something? to bring the master fader in front would be helpful at times.
 
Effects management - I may just want to turn off all occurrences of a particular plugin for a while and easily turn them back on. Now we have to bypass all bins of this type or individually bypass. When I'm at the stage of rough mixing and maybe needing to add another recorded track, sometimes I need certain cpu hungry plugs off, while others can be left on and not effect latency.

endless complaining about complaining

*ability to clone the control/toolbar so that i can have it on the top of both of my monitors 
*paste special button
*ability to show the MIDI in the PRV of a selected take lane (not all take lanes at once)
*get rid of the feature that randomly changes my "snap to" value
*since Rapture is now part of Sonar, if i choose a preset & the multisample can't be found, let me find it manually or something (and then force Rapture to "remember" it)

Hi, Bob.  This is an old thread that for some odd reason has had the title changed from X2 to X3.
 
He was referring to the X2 pre-release video.

Nope.
 
This fred was titled X3 from the get go.
 
Yeah the video was from X2, but NOT this fred title.
 
I created this fred right after the release of X2 because I was sure there were a few "missed" things in X2.

Greetings
for Sonar X3 (maybe the b Update)?

I would like to see a text window that could be place in the multidock for keeping general notes about the mix, arrangement etc. I currently use Notepad but of course as soon as you click within Sonar, it disappears underneath.

I would also like to see customizable labels for automation lanes. Presently, only a few characters are visible in the drop down parameter selector, and when you're automating a lot of parameters whose names all start with the same few characters, you cannot identify them at a glance without hovering your mouse over it and reading the tooltip.

maybe try notepad++ with its "always on top" setting?

Also: a dry/wet contoller for any VST in the FX bin.
 
Maybe even parallel VST's in the FX bin with a mix ratio fader?
