- Make AudioSnap easier to use
 
- Finer grid line settings for manual quantization
 
- Fix the Clone Last Track In Folder bug. Folders need to be considered first and Track Numbers second, not like it is now.
 
- Allow user to Drag-Drop track to last position of a Folder, between folders, or into next folder.

- Clean audio folder application needs to be brought up-to-date, respect Audio in Project Folder setting.

- Random oddities that happen in ProChannel need fixing

- More considerate with our screen real estate, like in it was in 8.5 
 
As a general observation, I think Cake should in future try think like a user, not like a programmer. 
 
Features from Cake tend to confront you with things that are important 1% of the time. And 99% of the time you have to work around them to achieve your normal daily work.
 
Oh, and get a better forum software!

Workflow improvement suggestion:
 
Add "static variables" in the code which remember what I did last time, until I close Sonar.
 
For example, if I export something, I start from the default directory and then navigate to my project directory.
 
When I again export, I have to navigate to that folder all over again.
A static variable could remember where I was last time and not force me to start from the default directory every time.

+1 ^^^^

I absolutely HATE having to do this for each & every Export.

This should be a separate Folder Location along with all the others you can configure

Other than Pro Channel routing (IE allowing any FX in any order other pre or post for whole PC strip) improvements and other bug fixes Id like to see an improved stable v-vocal or maybe even better an integrated Melodyne.

current version add +3dB when export mono files. so solution is mix/master as stereo then export as split mono, then rename the file. and if you export 500 small files as split mono then its hard to rename those 500 files. this should be corrected in future product.

  I think a few of these have been mentioned already, but MY wishes include:   
 
 
(01) "Friendlier" friendly names for drivers.  There's a whole other thread in the forum about how "another" DAW is doing it better, and I really like that implementation: let us configure the name completely for both mono/stereo pairs (maybe also surround groupings?) and also let us configure how they appear on the input/output menus.  That would save a LOT of clicking and confusion in making those selections, particularly when adding new buses to the project.   
 
(02) Work on the Control Bar customization so you don't need a monolithic display screen to see EVERYTHING at once.  I like the idea of size customization.  I also like the idea of custom CB modules.  Scrolling would be fine, though I think I'd prefer a pagination if that was really the solution they wanted.  I agree with whoever said 8.5 had this concept figured out:  those tool bars were customizable and I had access to all functions with a similar amount of screen space that I use now for less than half. 
 
(03) Speaking of toolbars, I'd like basic program-level functions on the CB again: "New", "Open", "Save", "Close" would be good for me.  "Save As" would be nice as well. 
 
(04) Automation modes.  I'm not optimistic about this, having been hoping for this since version 7.  Right now we have "Read" and the equivalent of "Touch Write" (and "off", I guess).  I'd really love it if there was also a "Latch Write" and "Overwrite" (i.e., "erase last envelope and start a new one") modes.  A "Trim" automation mode would also be handy.  Since I've acquired a Mackie MCU, these functions would really open up the abilities of that unit to improve my workflow. 
 
(05) Speaking of the MCU, I'd also really love it if the Pro Channel modules were ALL accessible using the MCU and/or C4, and NOT just the first PC module in the chain.  There's no more "standalone" EQ OTHER than Pro Channel, and if you don't have Expanded you can't adjust the order of PC modules:  you could use the EQ mode in the MCU/C4 to control Pro Channel functions and scroll through them as well. 
 
(06) Speaking of Pro Channel, I'd also like it if the Pro Channel modules could be put in a floating window:  right now I can't see them all in Inspector, and it's kind of awkward to find them on the Console View. 
 
(07) Speaking of the Inspector, it would be great if that was scrollable.  That way it's less an issue to find a particular parameter of the given channel in Track View.    
 
That looks like a lot but it's mostly usability tweaks.  I like to think those particular features wouldn't be as difficult to implement as some of the other common requests (I'm no expert though): if Cake were to add ONLY that to X2 over X1, I think it'd probably be worth the usual $100 upgrade for me.

**deleted double post**

so when x2 is coming? thanks.

* VST3

* Darker Console view overall take the grey off the GUI make it little bit darker..

* Automation "copy and paste" works 100% with Virtual Intruments

* Celemony ARA

* Better Video engine.

* Make console view show more then 2 auxs and fxs bin 3 plugin in the the same time. I would like to see the console view more like PRO TOOLS console view and be able to "set color"-markers of Tracks in console view.
 
* Make more included PRO CHANNELS modules and better flexible routing. 

i'd like x1 fixed first, before x2
