I totally agree. From a lineage point of view, Steinberg’s Cubasis has always been a MIDI sequencer first with added audio functionality. Auria is an audio app first with a promise of MIDI in the future.
As someone who works 95% with MIDI, I for one am glad for apps like Cubasis, FL and MS. And yes Cubasis does have some ways to go to catch up with MS and FL…but they are getting there.
Maybe Steinberg should consider releasing a Nuendo app to compete against the likes of Auria and apease all those who keep wanting to turn Cubasis into an audio app.
