The ability to set the root tuning of the project to 432, 444 etc. An orchestra can do this, why the hell cant I do it in Cubase? Ridiculous.
Summing Folder tracks , any tracks dragged in to the Summing folder Track would get auto bussed (so no more having to check all your tracks are buss correctly to a group) , and when you close a folder on the arrange window the Mixer follows .
This also has major benifits for people using large hardware fader units , it lets you"spill" out a folder on your mixer (bit like Protool or Logic). then close it down giving a single master fader for that group of track, and would clean up the massive amount of faders you need to look at .
No I would not remove VCAs or Group track , Just add a 3rd track type .
Because with an Orchestra you tune the instruments and not the conductor. Same thing with Cubase.

VSTi GUI/ Window that follows selected track which has a VSTi , just like channels setting window does now …
Release it??

Ai integration shot even something that can make a sound, midi patterns, or loop for the user or a gain staging function before touching anything, Console Summing for (SSL, API, Neve), When i put a one shot sound making that easy to be able to change pitch automaticly & adjust length. I still cant understand or figure out functions and something that tags where the orginal one shot sound is on the key.
I’m sorry, but this made me laugh.
We’re living in a time, the first in history where you can have an orchestra in your house to use anytime you want. And not just one one orchestra but a bunch if you want, plus a multitude of other instruments from bland to exotic. You don’t even need to feed the players. Mozart, Wagner & the rest never had access to anything even close. But the inability to adjust the tuning rises to the level ridiculous!
We truly do live in privileged times.

Exact. I greatly respect how Dan Worrall remembers and emphasizes the word engineer in this job.
Parallel filters worked great in my workflow.
In Cubase I have to create groups to change the phase for just the sends.
Likewise, I suggest placing an eq on the sends.
Got it. Unfortunately that would be hard to implement in Cubase even from UI point of view I cannot imagine how they would squeeze that in.
The parallel chain(like studio one have) is likely possible feature they will add but probably 5 years from now (I cannot mention any version otherwise my comment might be deleted )
Majority of those things I solve with Blue cat patchwork and little bit of melda. Now it depends of the task you want to achieve but it’s worth trying.

Because MIDI notes only send the note value and not the frequency. That’s ridiculous.
Joke apart, if Cubase had to transpose every channel in real time this would result in an awful audio quality because of the added artifacts. Dedicated transpose algorithms that come with the instruments generally perform much better.

So I guess Fruity Loops can do something Cubase can’t.
I guess it’s impossible for Cubase to auto adjust midi inputs I need (though the micro pitch variable) to go through the tedious process do to the same for every single instrument or midi track.
It is ridiculously easy for them to implement and ridiculously tedious to manually do it. Pretty easy for those of you to comment on it without ever attempting to try it. Maybe comment on something that you actually have tried in the past or would want to do in the future instead mocking something you don’t care about or never use.
NO, because when they composed they could afford an entire orchestra of people to tune their own instruments for free while they met the top noble leaders of Bavaria while drinking espresso and maybe some wine in probably an establishment worth more than the net worth of an entire social circle.
I quit using Fruity Loops because I was told Cubase was cutting edge and FL studio was for amatures. Now when I’m asking that Cubase implements something that the software I formally used now has you call me privileged. I call it the Steinberg and the community (IE YOU) being pretentious. This attitude crushes innovation and stifles prosperity. Maybe people like you are the reason individuals leave for Studio One! Clinging on to what you think things should be in-lieu of a brighter future, holding advancement behind.
This is some weird joke, it has to be. One of the easiest requests in the history of software update requests which would sure, not save YOU any time, as YOU probably don’t need your music tuned at 432hz, and that’s fine for YOU. YOU probably haven’t spent the time tuning hundreds of old projects and their midi files while also having a pile of mix engineering to do as well, so frankly, if you haven’t spent the time to try and put yourself in my shoes, maybe YOU should rethink your pretentious attitude and maybe consider that some of us have also been using DAWs since 1998.
Implementing an overall software modulation which affects all midi inputs to subtract a certain amount of cents to the pitch input for a given project should be probably the easiest update in the history of updates yet, many of you just assume you’re smarter than a poster who doesn’t get specific enough for you.
That’s all fine and dandy. Maybe I’ll go back to fruity loopy loops as image line has cracked the da vinci code of basic midi input modulation for an entire project. It’s a biblical epic like David vs Goliath. Imagine Line the master at their crafts figuring out the elusive software engineering riddle of a project midi pitch modulation. I can hear trumpets now!
You probably laughed at Massenberg when he posted about inventing the Parametric equalizer
Hmmm… if one instrument has a pitch bend range of 2 semi tones and another has a pitch bend range of 3 semi tones how would Cubase know how many cents to change the pitch bend in order to change the master tune from 440Hz to 432Hz? It may work for virtual instruments but external instruments would not be includable.
I think we are speaking the same language here. I’m only referring to VSTs
I took a look at how FL Studio does it and it seems the Master Tune really only works for virtual instruments. I am not sure Steinberg would include a function that only works for a part of the addressed instruments. Plenty of Cubase customers still use external gear to make music.
Ultimately it is, of course, up to the folks at Steinberg to decide whether to implement a Master Tune or not.

You could try to use Direct Offline Processing instead of track freeze. With Cubase Pro at least, where you get a nice preset system. You can even drag’n’drop insert plugins into DOP to have the same plugins with the same settings working there.
Ultimately both create new audio files. DOP on an event basis, freeze for the entire track.
this is not possible with instrument tracks
