I am just doing my first steps in N6/C7…
I love the new mixer. Basically. It gives me all the options / workflow I ever wanted when dealing with those 300track projects…
I HATE the edit window - I HATE the new control room.
Just look at the already posted comparison-screenshots.
There have to be some modifications. I understand that “some” of the options and workflow modifications will need more clicking… it is ok - more clicking here, saving time there. But Steinberg just left out brilliant design details - which (of course) are “old fashioned” - but WORKING!
Mixer concept is great! But leaving out for example on/off button for plugins… I can not understand… I am switching on/off plugins all the time to compare them, because bypass is NOT the same. Some waves plugins have 1 sample delay when bypassed… Messes when doing parallel compression stuff. DSP plugins will not unload in bypass. Bypass I usually use in combination with automation. For example with a simple delay inserted directly on a track. There are plugins which are NOT transparent when in bypass - some plugins will clip/limit off at 0db when only bypassed.
Ok, wrong topic 
Sorry!
