Dude, seriously, you don’t think it’s an issue that realtime mixdown plays back louder in a flagship DAW for post-production? Or you don’t think it’s an issue that it works and then gets broken in an update?
I’m all for supporting software and being realistic, but what people are doing in this thread is EXACTLY what you’re proposing: They’ve waited for the previous “lesser” versions of Nuendo 6 to go through “maturation” - remember the release was 6.0.2, not .0. So we waited while Cubase users beta-tested the basic sequencer for us “in the wild”, and then we got our first release, bugs and/or issues were reported, and SB was pretty good at addressing them.
But it is NOT good to introduce issues in updates. Either someone is completely ignorant as to how people actually work with an application, or their testing is seriously lacking. (And seeing that they released seemingly different actual code in download versus boxed initial release, despite same naming, it’s not unreasonable to worry about their internal testing/validation). Many people will mix a show and then audition the “final” version while it runs in realtime. Imagine your outboard gear receiving a higher level once you start your realtime render.
I might have cut people some slack if this was the initial release with a fix coming shortly thereafter AND if someone at Steinberg thought it was worth their time to at least acknowledge that there’s an issue here.
Now? Not so much.
