If I’m not mistaken, software is not a wild animal. To strain the metaphor, it’s a dog that I should be able to train to serve -my- needs… not the other way round.
Cubase is getting -harder- to use. Which is ironic, since many of the UI changes were meant for ‘keyboard navigation’. In fact, it’s =harder= to navigate in C7 than in C6.
It would be interesting to do a series of ‘time studies’… create a list of common tasks and time/video people performing these operations. Look at not only the length of time it takes, but also the amount of -movement- — shifting hands from mouse to keyboard, taking eyes off screen, obvious lapses in concentration. My guess is that C7 is much clunkier than C6 and regardless of snappy paint job that’s what matters.
Conversely: I would -sincerely- be interested in a list of tasks that people can honestly say go -faster- in C7 than C6. Maybe there’s something I’m missing.
