Of course we realize that, but that’s not really the point (and by the way, professional is spelled with one “f”). The point is that we had a very functional mixer already in C6. All Steinberg needed to do was to find a way to add the new features found in the current version to it. And if starting from the ground up was the best way to achieve that, then avoid removing previous features. The mixer mock up created by David does this. However, it seems to be trendy to remove features on every new release (and not just from the mixer). I don’t get that, and never experienced it until I become a Cubase user. Was it always like this with Steinberg?
