@emotive I think the easiest way to find out is via trial version and the manual. There are already plenty of threads about the new hub in C15 - this will also give you a pretty good idea about pros and cons.
@Googly_Smythe Haha, Marmite as the mother of all controversy, good one!
It’s a case of having the same functions, but having them made less functional, by way of putting them is a separate dialogue. Like something that used to be on the desk has now been put in a drawer.
Previews are new and the categorization is a little more open ended.
There’s really nothing new about accessing audio settings since you’ve always been able to access that prior to opening a project. The idea was to put those audio settings in the hub to make it more obvious how to make adjustments in case any are needed for previews. Unfortunately that doesn’t work at all if you’re using the control room
The access to the manual could be better and the choice of showing the last opened date doesn’t make any sense
However, the workflow is definitely more awkward. Moving the location info away from the main window is especially problematic. It all seems like a work in progress. I’m sure we’ll see ir refined further in the next update.
