I love the feature list.
As a sort of hybrid guy, I agree, and don’t always realize the conveniences I’m missing from not having these things. You kinda just find a way to make it happen.
I like that Cubase doesn’t force me into thinking EDM. It’s wide open and I have to make it what I need. I’m always limited, but I can always find a way. I think it keeps me creative and unpredictable.
But yes, these features are needed. I don’t and will never use a program like Live or Bitwig. I think they encourage a particular style of music.
