It might just be me but it seems like a lot of other DAWs are just following after Cubase. Logic now with a “track version” type feature, Studio One and Pro tools trying to implement a “media bay” type thing now. Even the way pro tools is doing their “Freeze Track” feature now is similar to Cubase and more DAWs with more Cubase like features I come across when watching their videos on youtube. Im not sure how I feel about that. But I guess when you’re trying to be the best you have to imitate the best… Or something… I don’t know but is it just me or are you guys noticing a lot of Cubase wannabes too?
Im just waiting to see who’s gonna be the first to do a “chord pads” type feature. LMAO!
I think everyone follows everyone. Cubase followed/follows others, and others followed/follow Cubase, etc., etc. It’s a good thing all around, of course. There are plenty of features that I love about Cubase which were copied from other DAWs, and other features that I wish they would copy now!
I don’t think that would be a good name, because we already have that concept covered by what Cubase calls “parts”. The concept behind track versions is that they’re musically different – they’d look different on paper. Each track version can have multiple parts/takes, which are performance attempts that would look the same on paper.
I’ve been using one DAW or another since about 1995 and have witnessed a cross pollination of ideas from Cakewalk to Emagic to Steinberg and now Studio One. It’s a pretty cool evolution!
