Nor have I. It believe it’s clear that they don’t want improve the app too much before dropping a major release, if it all.
Something tells me Cubase 8 will bring forth a whole new slew of problems. And voila: we’re at the beginning of the cycle again:
- Here’s how the update cycle has been.
- Product release. Great features added, but also many new bugs.
- Users request features. Bug reports submitted to address said issues.
- A few updates. Issues largely ignored…
- Paid .5 update. Old features may break here.
- Repeat #2 and #3
- Announce new version 3-6 months in advance. 50+ pg. threads anticipating features, everyone hopes that the improvements they’d hoped for are added.
- New version released. People optimistically buy. Outcome: Goto #1, rinse, repeat.
Right now we’re between #5-6. I hope it doesn’t go like that, but honestly the outcome isn’t looking good. They’re not in any rush to address these problems now, I don’t see why they’d revise their entire strategy after Cubase 8 is out and suddenly have open betas, etc.
