More automatable effects! :)

You don't need Sonar 3 for that. Where are all the 3rd party plugins with automatable FX??

Nope, but I want them for free... :D


And apparently the Waves-plugins are automatable...
 
Maybe an reminder alarm set to tell that you have to go to bed or date with your girlfriend.

Kidding !

Seriously :

Maybe an integrated 3 sweepable band EQ and compressor / gate on each track / mixer (instead of always put an DX one) not required but nice to have (i'ts a matter of taste).

...or have sex with your wife. Thanks to this board and Cakewalk software, she's currently masturbating. Excuse me, I'll have to go now... ;) :D
 
thanks

but that's really a little more knowledge than we needed.


Have fun.

I was going to suggest a 3 band EQ on each channel (by default). Also, I know this is in Vegas Audio... better clip meters that tell you how far you actually clip by so you can reduce the faderes by that much. Also, on the V mains, split faders... ie if you are sending to a DAT machine... 4 busses = 8 tracks ;-)

Now that's just sad. :(

Get your priorities right! :rolleyes:

You guys have already hit on my two biggies - VST/VSTi support, and the ability to route VMains to other Vmains. I suspect this latter one HAS to be included in Sonar 3 - there's simply too many people asking for this capability.

I actually don't expect Sonar 3 to allow Vmains to route to other Vmains -- it would be way to easy to create a feedback loop. What I think would be easier, and would avoid any wierd feedback problems would be the ability to route a number of vmains to one master, honest to god, MAIN which in turn could go to hardware outs, but never to another vmain.

So a virtual main it is,anything less will be a disappointment!:(

While that's better than what we have now, it is still only half a loaf. I can see a need for more than just one sublevel below the "honest to god" main.

Absolutely. Lots of folks are screaming for fixing this on the Cakewalk boards. (I really wish they'd move those to the web!)

Its not an original idea with me -- but it really bit me on my last project. I really really really needed to be able to have a couple of grouped bunches of channels, and then some processing across the mix as a whole. It wasn't just routing to physical hardware - its holders for the effects.

Perhaps. Maybe if you assign each vmain a number. You could assign more than one vmain a number. You could route the vmain to any other vmains with a GREATER number, but never the same number or less. End result - no feedback.

I'd like to have busses handled like plug-ins, so they would be insertable anywhere in the effects chain, also not hogging all the space in track view.
 
Bundled Frequency Analyzer !!!

Cum ooon... there's gotta be a simple way to analyze the wave rather than inserting the VST plugins (...along with VST wrapper :rolleyes: ) or put the Timeworks EQ on the master, set flat, Graphic Mode... :rolleyes:
 
Extended routing capabilities!

Maybe something like Reasons back-view...
 
have yall seen the new feature Logic 6 has its something called Freeze: scenario

has this ever happened to you? when u start adding a few high quality reverbs compressors eq..etc... the computer poops out then u have to archive the track and apply efx etc..well in Logic 6 u don't need to do that cuz the function freeze will freeze the settings on the efx on each track sort of like applying efx but its completely reversible..so you may have a CPU usage of 90% use freeze and it'll drop down to a more safe no drop out level. This revolutionizes Native DAWs in my opinion

I vote for freeze..as well as VST support...the routing is a good idea too
 
Cool Edit Pro 2 has the same feature as freeze. They call it "locking" the effect. They also pre-calculate the mix wherever possible. These things make performance on a low end system WONDERFUL. Sonar should definitely add it. That being said, the multi-track performance of CEP2 just doesn't make it for me. For example, you can't record automation by moving the faders as the song progresses.

I use both - Sonar for mixing, then CEP for editing/mastering.

Track sheets

Vmain to Vmain assignments or 4 dedicated external effects loops.

Option of wet software compression and limiting pre track writing. I don't want to record dry vocal tracks with wild transients and have to add compressors and limiters after the fact, eats up processiong power.

Dbl clik zoom and edit mode on wave files. I get tired of zooming in from the track view to edit.

Built in Genesis 3 or POD XT.
