Personnaly iv'e been testing here and there cubase for years , and this is why i bougth the Cubase 10 pro , this one is the first time it's solid in pretty every apsect including some aesthetics stuff ....
ok don't tell me how i know that , and don't spread it , but chance are they're going dongless : when ? will it be done or not ? can't say but , thy're into it that's why i said don't laugth , it wasn't a joke lol
and i know their update process is expensive that's why i waited a version i could stick with for years , the only thing missing is the ability to have complex routing of complex fx / instuyments chains,reakltime Clip FX and an easy way to read overlapping audio clip events ... in all other areas it's pretty equals or superior to other daws ...
So wait and see .... at 179 euros the licences , risk is minimal , versus benefit if it rocks !!
I will def use it as a PT replacement and use S1 as my go to witch is the case since one year ...(still waiting bandlad to give that burst to next level , will be happy to help an any way by the way ....to get their things up to actual market needs )
