I did both of my latest albums in N6, and I still hate the mixer. I like the flexibility, but hate the look and the increased time that I waste having to click around to see anything of any use. For me the increased feature set from N4 has mostly been worth it.
However, it is more important to me that they fix the basic mistakes in coding. For example using a particular tool should never cause a bunch of MIDI notes to change octave.
Yes I´m still on 5.5, as 6.0 didn´t have the desired visibility features in the arrange/project window where I spend most of the time.
I have not tried the new mixer and control room, but it looks a bit out of place to me. As if it wouldn´t fit too well into the overall design of the program. Can´t tell about the functionality though.
it is my impression that the old mixer seemed to fit better into the graphic scheme of the program, but my deciding factor to wait with the upgrade was that nothing I really needed was in 6.0, on the other hand 6.5 is PACKED with stuff I´ve been desperate for for a LONG time (years), so 6.5 update will be a day1 purchase for me.
I´d like to know if it will be free to Nuendo users again, or when the grace period for 6.0 buyers starts in case that 6.5 is a paid update.
Yes, yes and yes!
I want a more seamless appearance of elements and revamped window handling, possibly magnetic docking of elements, but that can wait until 7.0, for now I´m very happy with what is known for the next update
My post wasn’t meant to be a rant.
I really need to know about these issues before I buy into another version with Steinberg.
The price of the update is fair. That is not an issue.
The things I already paid for that aren’t working correctly are the only issue here.
I’ve had to change my whole way of working to accommodate these issues.
(see my post above)
Come on Steinberg, it’s not like I’m asking for your special secret code sauce.
I’m a paying customer that wants to know if these issues will be fixed or not in the Nuendo 6 life cycle.
or
is that asking too much? Really?
Nuendo 6.5 is going to be released in beginning of Q2 2014. Beside all features already revealed in Cubase 7.5 it will get even more post-pro / surround mixing relevant functions, such as a professional Bass Management. In terms of development time, it simply takes longer to bring all the additional features into the upcoming Nuendo 6.5.
We may also be able to correct some more issues in terms of GUI, but in general it will be the status of Cubase 7.5.
Key Command/mixer issue will (most likely) be fixed.
Thanks for the news Timo, but what a long wait indeed !
That’s about what to expect with a Flagshift product.
I’m thinking of buying a bundled UR824/Cubase AI. At least I’ll get some of the new stuff months ahead of Nuendo.
I am hoping that there will be a mixer view lock in the next update. It is annoying to try to resize the project window (which I do constantly) and the mixer resizes cuz the mixer is in focus. Once I set the mixer, I don’t ever need to resize it.
What I meant was, I want to be able to use my zoom controls for the project window even if the mixer is in focus. I still have to click on the project window before I can resize the project window. And I imagine that sometime in the far distant future there may come a time where I might want to resize the mixer and I’m glad that that option is there too!
I guessing there will be some sort of release that comes out with the Cubase update. Maybe not 6.5 but at least an update?. Would be nice to know, but I guess Nuendo does not need pre announcements. :
