Feature Request: Stem Separation in Sonar

[Jim Stamper]

I can't be the only one who'd like to see Stem Separation included in Sonar, even the paid version.

However I haven't found any other requests for it it.  Or I haven't found the right forum to request features.

It would be great to have this tool integrated with the DAW where I do all my work. I'm not interested in the other features of Sonar Next, and I'd rather not install Next for just 1 feature, which wouldn't be integrated with my workflow.

Thanks

i use the stem separation in Next (it basically uploads the file to the processing cloud which does the work, then downloads it) selecting "add stem tracks" adds the separated parts (drums, bass, vocals, other = guitars, keys, etc) to the Next project.

Next seem stable, easy to use, minimal footprint etc. i don't really use it except to do the separations and since i can output stems as WAV files when i'm done, makes it easy to bring into Melodyne for corrections and MIDI conversion or into Sonar as audio tracks. 

since i do a lot of workflow stuff outside of the DAW (composition, initial project structure (Hookpad -> MIDI), generate audio (standalone apps  mostly), and so on, the DAW (for me) is the raw recording of audio tracks (which i then export as WAV and using RX and Acoustica for prep work), and mixing and mastering only. Next is just another tool to get things done.

maybe they'll add the stem separation to Sonar as it seems like a fairly separated piece of code and processing as it stands.
