I went to check Pro tools forums out of curiosity.
The main things PT users complain about are : in order of importance
- Please add this functionality (because X daw already has it),
- I have performance issues (but the issue is in reality related to specific hardware configuration and is extremely sporadic)
- Various graphical bugs (X thing not displaying since the update but in fact it had to be turned on again)
- This functionality isn’t working at all (generally minor editing functionalities and key commands, but only on certain tiers of PT)
Now compare this with Cubase and its huge list of bugs and inconsistencies, and it’s worth to mention that the list is in reality much bigger than this.
In Cubase you simply cannot execute even the simplest actions without running into a bug.
Then when you try to find out what is triggering the bug, you run into another bug which is directly related to the previous one. It is just never ending !
They are not just sparse are rare bugs, they are everywhere and can be reproduced by anyone, because they are all hard-coded into Cubase ! Those are absolutely not user mistakes !
