Oh come on guy’s (and gal’s) stop all this nonsense !
Steinberg decided they were gonna sell a new synth called Padshop for 49 euro.
What they didn’t say was that they would throw in another (rather excellent) analogue synth and a few new fx filters for free, along with some other improvements to boot and call it 6.5 which is fine.
There’s no doubt that lanes will be improved (and other irritant bugs) in due course, it’s not just a matter of telling a few programmers to change a few ##00001## to ##00010## - you can’t change key or chord progression in performance with out telling every one else - same go’s for software houses,no matter who they are or what DAW or plugin they’re working on.
It’s all progressing seriously beyond belied since i got my first PRO 24 on an Atari and, there is (believe it or not) a reason why it is the worlds best seller - it’s a bl88dy good piece of software and it gets better all the time.
Would any one here go and play a ten hour gig every day over a year for free? I don’t think so, the band members will all want paying as would the venue, PA company, van hire, B&B etc etc. So don’t expect Steinberg staff to slave all day and night for free over heady module coding just because a few punters don’t like it, it will get sorted , it usually does, in quite an inovating way - though I don’t thinks we’ll see any major acts, studios or hollywood film stages dumping it over few minor bugs, or because Win 8 displays a wrong font in the right hand corner of a monitor screen, even if it does take a year to resolve, prgrammers need the basics of food fuel and water and have to pay for it like every one else.
It’s a great improvement, a steal at the price so go get it or stop complaining yeah?
if your not happy with it then just sell it off and go buy something different but, it’ll cost you a hell of a lot more tha 49 euro or whatever, then you can start new lerning course and be complaing about all the things that DAW software can’t do either…
The way to please your clients (in a studio or live situation) is to actually GET TO KNOW your gear as well as the short falls and deliver the goods, even if you have to find a few work arounds to do it.
Oh, just like to end by saying a big thankyou to the steinberg team fr the help and support in transition to Win 7 64 bit - cheers guys, you got me sorted
