Is there a single version of ANY program that is bug free?
DAWs are a lot different from word processors or most other software. By their nature, DAWs incorporate and/or integrate a huge variety of hardware and software products from hundreds of suppliers. And in order to perform acceptably in real time, DAWs typically must use low-level OS services, which is atypical of normal applications. Moreover, power users of DAWs often use the very latest hardware, OS software, monitors, and other devices.
It is really asking a lot to be “bug free” with all these constraints. I have a 6-year-old PC running Windows 10 with a relatively modest set of non-Steinberg plug-ins (Izotope and Waves mostly.) And a big project for me is 20 tracks. That puts me toward the simple end of the spectrum. I really don’t notice any bugs and can’t remember the last failure I had.
I don’t really think I’m going to upgrade past 12. I think I’m fine with Studio One and Logic. If they revamp the UX, I’ll reconsider, but I kind if hate using Cubase after doing so much in those other DAWs.
For anything to do with video I’ll look at DP again, now that I have a Mac… when they have another crossgrade discount. It’s a lot less bloated than Cubase.
Ohh look it’s Wednesday and just a couple of weeks after the last Fix that wasn’t a fix for fixing non fixed things soooooooooo , could today be the day ?
Ummmm, dunno , it’s strange Steinberg haven’t got a sale running at the mo , only the Arturia stuff soooooooo , maybe , plus they normally do one last release for the current version a little before the next New Update
Usually you avoid to place a major selling event in the summer (vacation) months of the Northern hemisphere. I might be wrong, though.
So, chose your Wednesday from between now and 31-Dec-2023. Which one is it going to be?
Everytime I read, that Cubase is expensive, there’s is no mention of how many included mature stock FX plugins you get with the package.
So actually one can save a lot of money not needing to buy a 3rd party dynamic EQ, transient shaper, actually usable reverbs, maximizer, modulation FX, analyzer, vocal pitch correction, imager, “OTT”, vocal alignment, etc., etc., …
Thank you Robin_s, this could help, of course!!
But I continue to not understand why Steinberg doesn’t use the same scrolling/zoom system used by all the other DAWs!!
