Yes, nice to look at but not to use…
I have been using Cubase for over 20 years (from version 1 Atari and then PC) and since then, love using the floating high transport bar, but I do not like this new long one.
I prefer to have the possibility to resize the float transport bar at our discretion. In this way it would be (as it was before) more efficient and faster to use. Having more commands on the same area is better than having the same commands spread all along the horizontal bar. Forgive me, but even a child understands it…
The same goes for the Toolbar.
The changes must be made to optimize production times, not to lengthen them in favor of a good aesthetic taste.
