A friend has downloaded the trial (including the .20 update) I was surprised (but maybe I shouldn’t be) to see that the problem with variaudio still exists, even though Martin told me in a post that it was fixed…
the problem being that after analyzing the audio in the lower zone if you click back in the project window the audio file switches back to looking like it’s un analyzed, then if you click back on the lower zone the analyzed segments are greyed out, so you have to click back on the pitch and warp flag (which strangely has been moved from the variaudio window) to get them back again…what a workflow mess!,
I’m very disappointed because…
I have decided to stay with Cubase because after working with Studio one for a while now (though it is a much better DAW work-flow-wise) I realise that as songwriting is my primary purpose I just cannot live without…the transpose track…the tempo track…variaudio and the chord track…these are awesome features very well implemented and the reason I will stay with Cubase…but probably in the Cubase 8.5 zone, if only because the variaudio works better…can’t believe they’ve buggered it up and still have not fixed it…
mistakenly posted this in the 8 area also…sorry…
best, Kevin
