Precisely! Some things Cubase did right before they went all gradient/video game. Cubase 5 had tabbed event clip names…Logic still does. Not sure why that was changed.
I wouldn’t want Cubase to go back to the old look, but progress should be better, not just “different.”
Tabbed Event names take up too much vertical space. I’d take the current annoying names over losing vertical space for sure.
One potential solution is that the names should be behind the waveform, as it’s not too often that waveforms are normalized to such an extent that they would completely block out event names, however, as it currently is, it is annoying the event names block out the waveform if there is a transient peak.
One of Cubase’s big graphic problems is the unnecessary thickness of the strokes of each box, every window, every button. The red button on the Control room is the most ridiculous example. It’s like a Fisher Price or Mattel game. My 3-year-old boy loves it. In addition, the typo is super fat. But when it comes time to draw the scrolling elevators, however, there we do it like needles! Another example: I’m in a complex mix, and I have to monitor a series of vumeters. The indicator figures (gradation) are pale grey on a dark grey background. We say: not so serious, let’s see the indicator at the bottom of the fader: worse!
Stienberg would need an artistic director for this interface. Looks like everyone’s touching it, depending on their department. Otherwise, please let us choose these aspects, with a very customizable GUI.
Not everything is bad, but the qualities are crushed by the defects.
Lol. I agree though. 9.5 looked better in my opinion IF you changed the colors to darker colors and blacks in the settings. After that it went downhill and they scrapped the ability to make things black in 10.5. You can only change the colors to dark grey and it’s not that dark. When you’re in a pitch black or dark studio, having the ability to adjust it how you want is important. I have no idea why they would reduce the available colors. I think users should have theme options and 3rd party theme file support.
Yes, Luna is really well designed, and in a year or two will hopefully be developed more fully. I need my Eucon though! If Luna gets Eucon support, I’m there.
Whoever made the decision to implement that gradient cr4p?..seriously.
Not only does it NOT accept your old templates…but after every update they seem to be doubling down on this gradient sh++ and it keeps breaking the templates every time you change or edit your colors.
Guyz, honneslty, just look at Cubasis on ios devices - that excalty how Cubase GUI shoud work (Cubasis GUI Super Smooth & Fast)
Everything in Steinberg already done, just need to put all good things from different products into Cubase
jftr, I watched a video of theirs, let’s call them Luna-tics…
they were so joyful about being able to add a channel to a bus and output at the same time.
Don’t get me wrong, I love competition as it forces manufacturers to be better but this is in no way a DAW that I would jump at.
IMO, it seems like a glorified audicard interface and considering who makes it and how it implements their plugins, I’m thinking that’s exactly what it is…For now.
