Why 16 Inserts now?

Well… it answers your question. You got that because Cubase users asked for it.

Besides being a user feature request, PT has 15 inserts and I’m sure that the additional inserts in Nuendo will make it easier for some PT users to switch.

PT has 10 inserts.

Yeah you’re right, I had it confused with Logic. Either way, Cubendo offers more inserts than both of them now, and neither of them have post fader inserts. I think it’s a nice feature upgrade.
