7.5 Wishlist

Cubase
#1

Hey guys,

Its almost 10 months down the Cubase 7 road and at this point we already know that a paid 7.5 will eventually come, so let’s try to make the best out of our hard-earned money by letting Steinberg know what we want.

Here goes my list.

In no particular order of favoritism.

1 - VCA Faders
2 - Option to move channels in the mixer
3 - Option to add multiple blank FX channels
4 - More linking options like individual insert/send linking controls
5 - Rupert Neve plugs
6 - Yamaha vintage collection plugins
7 - New instruments or light versions of Steinberg’s line of instruments
8 - Dual-mono insert option for using two mono plugins on a stereo channel (like PT)
9 - Object-based editing/processing (like Samplitude)
10 - New plugs and/or incorporate more of the Voxengo’s line of plugins (Elephant, GlissEQ, PHA979 would be my top 3 choices)


I know some of the points in that list are just wishful thinking, but who knows? Now go and make your list!

Cheers

+++ 1 :slight_smile:

Yes, 5 and 6 and possibly 10 are indeed a tad wishful, unless you want to over price Cubase and/or antagonise those who have already paid dearly for those plug-ins.

But most of the others, I’m with you.

I would like to see full automation for each track of a multi-timbrel VSTi just as is with individual Instrument tracks.

#4

Dream on :wink:

#5

Instead of features or new gimmicky plugins, it’d be nice if Steinberg focused on workflow refinements for EXISTING features! And improving the window management…

#6

Text in the editors that you can read on a 24" iMac would be nice.

#7

No 2 should have happened a long time ago. Just ridiculous to have to go back to the project window, move tracks then go back to MC. Shouldn’t have to wait for a paid update for that one. Make it in the 7.0.7 build.

#8

Independent moving of tracks between the project window and mixer would be great.

#9

This is true. I’m hoping there will be a 7.1 or 7.2 free update that includes:

2 - Option to move channels in the mixer.

Maybe this is difficult from a Cubase programmes point of view but wouldn’t it be convenient?

#10

This is a bug (right?), so it’s not a feaure.

Anyway, that’s the kind of thing should be fixed regardless.

#11
  1. Ability to arrange frozen tracks (like Studio One, but a better implementation that is fully transformable without loss of ghost/aliased/shared copies)
  2. Batch Freeze / Unfreeze
  3. Bounce-in-place (and that’s reversible; and that’s accessible via right-click)
  4. Remove the 8 (6 freezable) Inserts limit
  5. Ability to choose / remember “affinity” (which CPU cores it will use) in prefs

So much more, but those are my top five (in order).

#12

Wishes one thing, reality another. We will get new colors for fader buttons, and Loopmash update.

#13

Complete track color coding in MC to make track location easier, would be great!

#14

A Pattern-Based sequencing/editing feature.

Basically something similar to what Ableton Live, FL Studio 11, the upcoming Bitwig Studio, and other Pattern-Based DAWs offer. imho. this would be a great feature/option to have for Cubase 7 users who need to build their arrangement in a Pattern-Based workflow. If one prefers the current linear style way of working, then that’s always there for you. I just feel that the addition of a Pattern-Based sequencing option would just make Cubase 7 a better, and more versatile DAW.

Will this ever happen ? So far it has not, and I don’t have my hope up high that it will. But I felt that posting this feature request is worth it regardless if it ever gets implemented by Steinberg.

Cheers,

#15

Yes, and please add to that a Neve desk (8087. but 1608 is good) and Rupert Neve himself (I can settle for a clone).

#16

  • Automation lane for Pitch Bend (with midi <-> automation function)

  • Simultaneous editing of multiple automation lanes (using the mouse, not just the info line)

  • Show Shortcut Key(s) in tooltips (they are shown in the menus but not the tooltips)

  • No hover things, I want to see everything in plain view (except tooltips)

Mike.

#17

Multitrack warping
Polyphonic VariAudio

#18

I’m not holding my breath, as I’ve logged it with support and added it as an issue, with no response in either case. It is the only issue I have with C7 though.

#19

I’d rather see that this update would be free, but thinking about that, it is wishful thinking…

#20

Yes, I agree.
