been looking for a daw for a while and im using ableton atm but i want to switch because i dont like mastering in ableton.
but i heard cubase 8 has 8 insert limitation for plugins ? maybe that’s enough but subconsciously its not enough.
there should not be any limitation when using creativity and by knowing there is only 8 insert then it may affect many people and not buying this software 
You could just route the output of that track to another and add another 8 Inserts.
I’ve seen this come up a number of times from people. Personally I struggle to hit anything over 3-4 maximum but thats just me.
