Hey, thank you for your respectful and sincere thoughts. I really appreciate it.
Cubase has an incredibly broad user base, probably broader than most other DAWs. It is used by professional film composers, electronic music producers, recording and mix engineers, home studio musicians, veterans who have been with us since 1989, complete beginners who have never touched a DAW before, keyboard wizards, guitarists, and many more.
With every release, our biggest challenge is finding the right balance between all these users and their needs, because there is only so much we can do in a single version. We always try to include something for each user group, but big features require more resources, so there will naturally be a bias toward one group or another from time to time. Still, we do our best to balance things out over the following releases.
What all of these user groups have in common is the need for a streamlined workflow and better usability, and that is our main focus in every release, no matter the target group. I hope that is something you have noticed when looking at the progress we have made over the past six or seven years.
There have been many improvements for “classic” recording, mixing, and audio editing workflows in recent versions. And if Cubase 15 does not have what you were hoping for, I am confident the next version will.
Still, I am curious: What would you like to see next in the recording, mixing and audio editing workflow direction?
