I’m using the trial version and I find it great
Clip launch/session view doesn’t fit though, outside of live/maschine’s jam view.
Oh, I hadn’t picked up on that - thanks. Still, looks interesting as another tool in the box…
Though agreed that integration, as you hint, is key. Would be a farce having to wait 3 or 4 more ‘versions’ before something from SB was properly/fully integrated and really useable.
In fact, I’m not really waiting at all if I’m honest. I use Acoustica Mixcraft (‘Performance Panel’) when I want this sort of inspiration/fun for a particular job (see earlier posts from Nov 2021…!). Besides, don’t think SB have it in them right now, to do a complete re-write of the audio engine to make it ‘gapless’ - crucial for this type of (integrated) tool to work properly/seamlessly.

Some of us need a ‘Cubase Sketch’ plugin. Just like Avid made it real for Pro Tools.

I use it as a clip launcher of sorts, because I like how machine works, but I don’t always want to use machine these days. Put various clips on independent loop mode, plan out your sections with an arranger track as the column based selection method so to speak.
I know what you’re saying about it being smooth, And I do find it quite smooth to a certain point, usually for the writing phase, this is this is okay. But I just thought I’d share something I haven’t seen other talk about yet which is the track version feature. I started using this as a better way to keep the screen clean but now I use this all the time as a part of the way the sessions work.
Similar to what I do in machine I might come up with a riff I played on guitar, then I will hit another version, and do a different version of it, that slightly more complicated or something like that, and so on. Different versions of tracks that go together have a matching number which you can control. So then as your repeating your chorus, for example you can hit next version, and you can keyboard shortcut this, and that is instantaneous change , regardless of any like how many plug-ins you’ve got loaded, that’s what I like to do anyway.
Oh and the best bit is a route, the various tracks through about three instances of loop mash FX Which placed just before the master Bus. Symbols might go to one. The kick and the guitars are usually go to another and then I may have a third one for tonal based tracks. This is the really cool because I can instantly halftime things whilst leaving other things at their normal speed, repeating things while leaving other things then normal speed you know all that kind of stuff

I’m waiting for this day to come since I bought Pro as a bundle with Urrt4 in 2019. I like Cubase for mixing and composing. I have to use Ableton Live for live improvisation. Also I use Sibelius for notation - but this is for another topic. If course I want to play music and mix it and master it in one program.
As for the critics it’s simple. There are people that make music for art and job, and there are people that makes mysic to feel themselves better than others and acquaunted with a respected community. Cubase coudn’t have been where it is now if they servered the latter rather than the former in the first place.
Another reason for me to have the looping in Cubase is the greatest synchronisation with Steinberg interface. Now I have to switch morph filter and other dsp effects for my guitar in dsp-mix to apply it in Ableton. Such a shame and waste of good features.
Of course I like the graphic engine of Cubase more. I can rant on and on about the issue. But I’m gonna stop now.
I’m on this thread because I’m currently working on an interactive exhibition where having a clip launcher just like ableton would be really really wonderful. I LOVE cubase and think there’s lots of sound design potential from being able to switch between clips like ableton.
It seems that you’re being somewhat small minded in regards to thinking about the possibilities of using clips to trigger different audio events or midi patterns.
Rather than be incredibly rude (and worse…incorrect) might I invite you to ask questions and listen?
And at the same time, some folks just want Cubase to become a half-ass “jack of all trades” and incorporate every single thing under the sun every other DAW in the world does..
Considering they already have 30+ years of an established workflow, and aren’t changing it any time soon, why not just move to the product that is already designed for what you want and get your work done?

You’re putting words into peoples mouths that aren’t accurate.
I have a workflow with cubase (that’s changing regularly becuase creating art is a dynamic process) that’s been developed over 16 years and now, for various reasons, I would like the option of seemless clip launching in cubase, among other things. I would like it in addition to the features/workflow I use currently.
It’s precisely because I am so integrated to cubase that is why I don’t just simply switch to bitwig or ableton. I use ableton semi regularly and I think it’s a good daw but, as is the same for you I would assume, I’m quite smitten with using Cubase.
Even if a clip launcher was a feature that I don’t want, I still have the capacity to imagine circumstances that my fellow creators would find such a feature useful and thereofre I wouldn’t start yapping absolute tripe in a forum.
