Yes, that's right mate. In the perfect world we would have the perfect DAW.

Who's to say Cakewalk isn't working on this now? For all we know, they could be rewriting Sonar from the ground up with all fresh new code, slated to appear in 2 or 3 years or so. I doubt it, but it's possible. 

Yes, Sharke, in the perfect world anything is possible. 

It's utterly pointless speculating about stuff like this.

i see some users who have bought some very expensive plug ins and when they realize they cant get their full potential out of these plug ins unless they have vst3 they hit the roof and get upset. mean while if they did get those plug ins with the notion sonar will be vst 3 on this release so im going to get them. shame on them.sonar hasnt put out any info even hinting towards vst 3. but if they dont look at it soon,they're going to be left behind in the technology department catalog under "V" for vst 3.

 
 
I bought a lot of Waves plug-ins but I didn't buy them with the hope Sonar will support VST3 but it would be nice to sidechain with the ones that are sidechainable at least. It would be nice to get all the features out of all my plug-ins regardless of the DAW I'm using. I don't think people care if Cakewalk hates Steinberg or not. We just want functionality and to get the most out of what we have.

You could make a feature request to waves mosalve. Make their VST2.4s sidechainable like so many companies do- fabifilter, sonalksis , izotope, etc

I did not know that.. I will. Thanks for that info. I have all the fabfilter plugs to. good stuff. I'll bet they will rush to get it done once I make the request. Lol.
 
You know, all these companies better get with the program. Pun intended.

I'm sorry... this is totally inappropriate but... am I the only one completely mesmerized by OPs avatar?

I'm frustrated all my stuff doesn't talk to each other too. And when it does it only lasts a couple of years and then standards change and some stuff gets forgotten about.

heres what else i think is going to happen..
 
sonar someday will release vst3 capabilities; users will be on the forum saying how its the samething as vst2
you hear the quotes "is that it"?

The code would have been completely be rewritten from Dos and the Windows 9x days. Totally different beast. I'm sure the code would have been rewritten as well when going 64 bit.

@shark nope it would be more like message queuing system code. Plugins would request to be stopped or started. Only the Daw would grant the permission. Its would be a little bit like KVM messaging. As an example have you ever typed something on a slow Pc and then the text pops up 5 seconds later? Cakes engine would have to be more of a plugin management system which will isolate each plugin and the more I think about it the more complex I think it would have to be. Vst2 would be running off the same engine as well but all vst2 plugins would be treated like a single vst3 plugin to maintain compatibility. Burgh, coding and testing nightmare...
