I want a Pre and Post Button on ProChannel in the Inspector View. It slows me down to have to go to the Console View. I can only monitor my VST plug ins in realtime with Post activated.  No Post button so I can jump back and forth while in Track View.

quantized automation, when drawing freehand, when ever i try to automate reason in sonar, it only works with the subtractor, not the thor, malstrom combinator anything, would like to see these addressed

Unless I am missing something in your post, this already exists. My Inspector has a Pre/Post for Pro Channel on each track, directly under the Gain control. It's not on the Pro Channel module, but it is in the track inspector.

I would like to see the pre-post knob on the module itself. FWIW, some of the guys that use ProChannel may not be aware that they can even monitor VSTi's thru it with the post activated. If it automatically comes up in pre mode you have no ProChannel in realtime on your VSTi. It would be easier to track down if it is shut off if you had a switch in the module view. That's all I meant.

While I'm at it, I would like to see a de-esser in ProChannel as well. I know I could still use VC64 or Vintage Channel. I like the layout of ProChannel better.

I'd like to see a Real Time Analyzer on the Pro-Channel EQ section.  That would assist with fixing peaks/valleys that needs addressed.

I think if Staff View isn't well and truly overdue for an overhaul, I can't imagine what would be. As always, I'm not asking for Finale-level stuff, but something significant to bring this tool up to a reasonable level. 

And even before that - quickfix territory here - could we please get some buttons put back in there? selecting note length from the HUD is OK (now that it works again) but takes more clicks than dedicated buttons (there, I said it!) and when you're entering music from the mouse like that, it really slows you down - and keybindings for these are still broken.  

And also - why on the green earth can we not input a key signature directly from the Staff View? Am I losing it, or is that basically the place it makes the most sense to want to do that? You need to call up a whole other dialog. Heck, leave it in the meter/key dialog if that's what makes the most sense in terms of program structure, but put some sort of simple shortcut to it on the staff view page - please????

Hear, hear.

Cakewalk - If this is not viewed as the MOST COMMON DENOMINATOR among requests, then I don't think we users are being heard at all. Subtlearts said it clearly, we're not looking for a Finale/Sibelius staff editing engine, just a reasonably useful tool within Sonar, that gets progressively upgraded as future versions are released. Staff View today is, in my opinion, the lowest point EVER in Sonar/Cakewalk history. I can tell you I wrote quite a bit of music with Staff View in Cakewalk 6... many many years ago. Please.

I'd like to see a real, USABLE scrub tool...one that lets you stop on a piece of music and the sound continues to be heard at that point.  Currently, when you stop moving the mouse the sound stops...duh!!!

---um, what?  A "scrub tool" is exactly that--You scrub the tool with your cursor/mouse.  It kind of loses its point if it continues to play.  The idea is you want to hear just one chord--stop--one phrase--stop--The scrub tool is functioning the way it has to/needs to.  - duh.

Ahhh...you couldn't be more wrong.  If you've ever worked with Roland's VS2480 recorder you would know what I was talking about.  I want to be able to stop moving the mouse and still hear sound so that I can then very slowly move the mouse backward or forward to find the very very beginning of a piece of music...with my ears not my eyes.  As you mentioned, with the current scrub tool you can find a chord or phrase...BUT...I want to get even finer resolution and find the very beginning or ending edge of a chord or phrase.
 
Lets say that I've recorded a guitar phrase but I have a little clink sound that is at the beginning of the phrase and is part of the phrase.  I want to surgically remove that clink without removing any other part of the phrase.  With a true scrub I can "hear" exactly where the clink begins AND ends and then just snip out that piece.

I've worked around it with a hidden (Track Manager) Audio track and open that template with Cntrl 'N' as my 'Normal' template but I would like a true Blank template with operational Screen Sets. Maybe someday though I don't think many of us use a true blank template - could be wrong.

hehe--I recognize this particular war-dance, Humble - Your desire for a Normal template that has no tracks.  I'm sorry, but I still don't get what the big deal is.  You either use the tracks that come with the template, or you take 3 seconds (tops!--I timed it) to delete them.--  So not a biggie.

True Randy and also true with a lot of other issues. 3 Seconds and you're good to go. To me that's the point of any change in a feature - the 3 seconds.

It's only one additional click to deselect all MIDI notes when editing a MIDI clip, it's only one click to set the snap to be different in PRV than track view. All of them 'no big deal' when looked at in that way. So no need to change any of them?

First of all, why so rude? Second of all, why not have a scrub tool that goes beyond your limited definition of a scrub tool? Sure, have it behave like a traditional scrub, but why not expand the capability? Have more useful options?

Re notation: I'd just repeat what subtlearts said... I don't need publishing quality notation, but I do need a notation system where I can easily enter in and edit scores.

Sonar and video soundtrack creation is waaaaay behind. Something I don't see requested but is vital is: time based tracks and busses. Right now you can't do music, dialog, and sound effects for a video in one session because if you change the tempo for a music cue it will completely screw up the timing of your track and buss automation. Other DAWs can do this, why not Sonar?

And: show me the LENGTH OF SELECTION!!!!!
