I’m waiting until after the manual has been made available for download, then after I’ve read it, I’ll decide whether I need the upgrade or not.
There’s no mention of any changes to e.g. the spectrum editor in the marketing blurb. I’m OK for limiters, compressors and dithering, I’ve already got CurveEQ thanks to Cubase 7, EBU metering with DigiCheck, don’t need speaker management, so it’s going to be down to workflow improvements … the “volume clip handles” looks interesting, but it’s hard to understand what AutoClip is and what it will bring that will be worth the upgrade.
So in other words … the manual better have enough detail in it this time to explain these things before I buy!!
