Professional metering and visuals (faster fallback speed/more than 40db/s, Pro Tools speed, non gradient).
Moving tracks in mixer.
Warping on arrangement window/tracks.
Better fonts/colors.
Ability to turn on and off grid lines in arrangement window.
Multi-track free warp
Nudging of events and midi notes by specific musical or time values by key command and nudge tools (without the use of logical editor and independent of quantize grid).
Proper EUCON support (reflect hidden tracks on surfaces, Avid Dock automation buttons reflect Cubase state, etc.)
Gapless audio engine
Folder group tracks (folder tracks fold/reflect in mixer)
Range selection edit on event gain/envelopes (PT style clip gain)
Stereo plugins on mono tracks.
Pro Tools Beat Detective type solution (Cubase can already do hitpoints and then slice events. Then one can quantize those slices or events. However doing a crossfade or close gaps without time stretch is unreliable. We need a Beat Detective-type conform functionality–the tools already exist in Cubase.
Range selection edit on tempo track.
Ripple Editing
Ability to show only event name or event description—not both. Or events follow track names exactly always. Also event names to be tabbed thinly so they don’t overlap waveforms (see Logic or Cubase 5?)
Tabbed VST views
Slicing in sampler track
Smooth playhead cursor and zoom/scrolling (see Logic Pro X, also a preference for blinking playhead locator like Pro Tools that works with the range tool/playhead only appears on playback and record)
Full screen windows on MacOs
.Bak Files Separate Folder
Autosave Enhancement (See UA Luna)
Rename Plugins
Rework of Macro system (scripting language, perhaps record macro moves/process live then save as preset?)
Inspector icons/workflow enhancement.
Disable Mouse Fader Movement In MixConsole
Elastic band in midi editor like Ableton
Improved markers display/visuals
Drum editor and key editor enhancement (patterns).
Triplets and swing grid in warping
Better way to import and store swing/groove Q presets.
Well, i hope you know that DAWs with gapless engine like Logic, doesn’t recalculate the latency compensation when you add or remove plugins until you stop the playback. So yes its gapless but the tracks will not be in time until stop/start playback.
Nice list of features, but why start another identical thread?
(The former one was moved to the Lounge, but then it was moved for a reason.)
Most of these features are well known requests. I could add at least 20 more that’s not in this list, but they are all well known anyway.
If there is something that’s not already known, you’d better make a new request separately for that.
If there is somehting that you think should be really prioritized, you’d better speak about those prioritizations. There are tons of suggestions, they simply can’t implement everything at once, it all comes down to prioritizations (and technical aspects).
The old thread was moved because apparently lists of features are not allowed in a post–but that rule is not really enforced as there are a few threads in the feature request section right now that have never been moved.
I wish they would have moved the old thread to General rather than the Lounge (not much action there and loads of Cubase users and power users miss the thread).
I must add that most of these suggestions should already have been part of 10.5. They are not ground breaking Steinberg exclusives or bullet points for marketing (well, at least, not for non-professional users). And yes, I know. I’ve originally posted many of these suggestions individually.
A) found a way of incorporating the Frequency plug into the channel strip EQ.
(So the little EQ curves on the mixer corresponded to that, rather than the basic 4 band EQ).
B) Improved the GR metering on the mixer. At the minute it’s a tiny thing at that can’t be colour edited in the meter brige.
Would be better if it was also by the faders ala Pro Tools.
Also, the peak GR indicator (orange dot) only works on the basic stock compressor, not for the vintage or tube stock compressors.
Having 3rd party plugs work with all the above would be smashing too, but I’m trying to be realistic.
