Quick Start Screen

[Wayne Bangert]

I have been using Sonar for 20+ years. I currently use Cakewalk by Bandlab. I perform over 100 shows per year and have used Cakewalk for all performing. I downloaded the New Sonar and noticed right away that the startup screen was missing some very important features. Gone is the ability to have entry show as just text. Also the ability to show and tag play lists. This is big help when performing live. I would keep different play list  here and can change sets quickly. They need to bring this back.  I also think more features for live performance would be fantastic. Cakewalk is miles ahead of every one else in the lyrics department.  I have tried every DAW for live performance and they do not have ability to show dynamic lyrics and chord charts. Some apps like Stage Traxx have addressed the lyrics issue but they are very weak in the tools to produce the music.

All these functions remained in the new version of Sonar, and work completely properly, here is a screenshot from the "Quick Start" window:

Since the introduction of the new Sonar, playlists are no longer displayed on the startup screen and cannot be pinned. I also miss this function because I was able to access my many playlists much more quickly in live mode and also sort them on the startup screen.
I am not giving up hope that this function will return.
