Well, I always notice how much I’m dragging and placing windows when working in Cubase.
In my primary DAW I find it an absolute breeze to be able to maximize any window regardless on what screen it is and to keep windows open over the mixer and still be able to touch anything on that full screen mixer.
The full screen console was a selling point for Cubase 7 (and buying point for me).
That simply isn’t true for PC users. When I’m fine tuning dynamics and EQ of a particular track within a mix I constantly switch between plugin GUI’s and the mixer’s fader and solo/mute buttons.
So every time I change focus to check the mix or readjust, the GUI’s vanish behind the mixer and I have to click several times to bring them back.
That’s not my idea of: “quick in-place access to the parameters most relevant to the task”.
The worst thing is, support told me it won’t be fixed in 7.x.
I understand bugs happen and it will take some time to fix them, but leaving a crucial flaw like this untouched is presumptuous towards your customers.
