What Curteye said.
Cubase seems to be going through a transitional period considering all the new features and mix console. With all the changes right now I doubt they would even consider it…even if hundreds of users said they would pay extra for it.
People have begged and pleaded in the past, but it just brings out the same regurgitated arguments…iPad hatred, environmentalism, saving trees blah blah blah… I find it strange some would object to the choice of paying more for a printed manual, but these are strange times.
Could there also be a copyright issue if it was an organized group buy?
