What i want, is only notation editor. But not only for notate, but 100% connection between midi notes (pianoroll). If you know Overture 4 notation program, you know what i am writing about. That means:
- If i create dynamics, it change midi velocity or something else if i add it, for example modwheel.
- Slurs add more length for notes and make possible change value of length notes (this change notes in pianoroll).
- articulation playback - staccato make half length notes, etc...
- clef change in staff (i mean - if you have bass clef and in some position in staff you change bass clef for tenor clef for example)
- 8va, 8bv signs - and make it playable
etc...
 
if you add completly notation like Overture 4, it would be nice compensation for long inactive staff view upgrades.
PS: sorry for my english.




 
Notation in Sonar ... give up.  It will never happen.


 
I dont care. I write what i wish in X3. No notation upgrade in X3 no reason to upgrade for me.

I'd like to be able to record the output of a bus and / or a plug-in.  I use Source Connect to record real time sessions with other studios & it is designed to work this way.  According to Source Elements (writers of Source Connect), most DAWs have that ability.  I have to route a track though hardware outs & back thru hardware ins to be able to use the plug-in.

I have never had a program in my life crash so badly, so often that you are forced to shut down and reboot the computer if you wish to continue. After a bad crash, usually unexpectedly, most times it is impossible to kill Sonar in the task manager, it will refuse to close and the only way to kill it is to shut down the whole computer and reboot.

Go back to the old track lanes. Bring back clean up track lanes.

Would like macro action recording.. For those repetative tasks... With add button function.

Colour customisation should be possible.. Would like to give different tracks different colours in console view...

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.

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




Hmm that's a good idea! I have Notepad++ but didn't know it had such a setting.

Can you not use the project Notes section of Sonar? I don't think it's dockable but maybe it can be toggled. I did not play around with it that much.

I could not work out how that window works. When you fire it up it fills the whole screen. But when you hit the "restore down" button, the notes window is made smaller but so is your track view. And of course if you then maximize the track view then the notes window disappears underneath it. Plus as you say, it cannot be docked. In fact it cannot even be moved onto a second screen. It sucks! Tried it once and gave up on it. Ideally I would like something that can be docked in the multidock.

Yeah it is a little awkward but IIRC I did figure out the trick of getting it out of the way without screwing up the view of the project. Maybe I'll take a look later.
