Please note, I started with Cubase 7 and have purchased and installed every update since. I also own Logic X and Ableton Suite 9.7.2 as well as Machine 2.5.6. which now includes Ableton’s Link.
Ableton’s open source Link really needs to be implemented in Cubase 9. And here’s what would really make Cubase 9 essential: if Cubase was not only Link enabled BUT could record everything that was playing on my computer. There’s an inexpensive program Wiretap Pro that dos this but if Cubase could incorporate this technology into itself - that would be innovation. That would attract new users. That would be exciting. Why not take advantage of the fact that so many of us use multiple programs?
Ableton does things that Cubase never will, but Cubase sounds so much better. And I like Cubase so much more than Logic. So don’t make users choose between programs; allow us to use them all - Steinberg can only benefit from this.
