So, I have been waiting for a number of years for Steinberg to allow Cubase to display the first lane of automation on top of the audio file lane. Have they put this feature in in 9.5 ?

Studio One, DP, Logic and more all have this feature which allows double the mixing work.

So, will I be happy that they have finally put this in?

Thanks
