This goes way way back, the same pattern of protectionism.
I asked for simple things like a Solo button on each track for RealBand, and rather than a simple +1 there is all sorts of comments like why would you need this it's fine how it is, fighting resistance.
New guys come ask for improvements and "why Would you need this, it's fine, go away" and there is usually a "gang up" on them.
The most amazing thing, after all this time they still don't get it and see exactly why these products have been held back by "Old Guard" mentality, if users still do this then they are old guard, if not then they are enlightened.
I could die tomorrow BUT you will still have the same problem.
I could of left the forum for good way back then like so many do with negative responses of protectionism, as I delete accounts because I say why bother, but then I come back and try again and again and have not given up, WHY ? is it all done for "ME" what I want personally ?
R.E.S.P.E.C.T ? where was it.
It's not an easy thing to do for one person to bring about change for the better for "everyone", is it ?

I liken it to what is going on in the USA, someone gets who is brash and tells the truth as he sees whats going on and looks to make things better and actually does that (and looses millions from being in and not make millions like the current one), but the old guard don't like it and does every illegal, evil thing to get rid of him and succeeds. Now what state is it in ? a better state or a worse state ? has there been enlightenment coming from learning the hard way ? YES ! is the truth coming out ? YES !
I did not need to learn the hard way as I instantly discerned that ages ago.
