Attn GOL -Pls Fix the basics in FL9 above anything else

[FOURTYw]

I don't care about adding new features to FL9. I just want it to do the basic things well. I've posted several issues I've had with FL8 after the honeymoon period (ie impressed with the demo, bought it, only to uncover loads of small & annoying drawbacks).

Please!

To name just a few (check my earlier posts if you need to know more about my other grievences):
Sequencer Related:
*Why can't the piano roll pick up the first note of a sequence when I record!! ???
*Why does playing the last note of a pattern (piano roll) fractionally long, create a whole new bar of space to loop around??
*Why does recording midi when looping (piano roll), not replace notes played on the same beat intelligently while keeping previous passes??!! Have they never used an MPC or Cubase?!!
*Why do I have to go to the options to switch between recording to Piano Roll or step seq??! Was FL designed to just use one or the other??!!
*Why can't the piano roll both quantize & preserve the note length the way you play it at the same time!!??

Mixer Related:
*Why is there no auto PDC in a DAW released in 2008??!!
*Why is something as important as the mixer so small??!! Do they want me to squinch my eyes every time I have to mute/unmute by clicking a tiny dot??!!
*Why does the mixer have no EQ bypass??!!
*Why does the mixer only contain stereo tracks??!! Yes, I can merge to mono but is that the point??!!

Other:
*Why does Edision not display true Stereo waveforms
*Why can I not use keyboard short-cuts with VST instruements??!

I could go on but these are the ones that came to mind.

I really couldn't care less for any new features as for the most part, most of the above are basic requirements for a sequencer/DAW to have in 2009. Most of the sequencer related issues came as standard on Cubase I was using waaaaay back in '95 and on the MPC3000 I used just as long ago.

May I point out that I like FL alot but most of what I'm asking for is basic stuff. Please don't bomabrd this post telling me to 'stop complaining' or by defending your 'favourite' DAW. My requests are fair.

I hope this post doesn't go ignored by the people that matter most but noticed by those with nothing intelligent to say.
