I tend to think that Breeze is probably spot on.
This could mean the end of Steinberg being able to keep up with, or beat, the competition as far as hardware-agnostic software (nice phrase) goes.
This would more than likely bring to an end my long association with Steinberg (since the PRO-24 days), although I am less motivated these days and may be getting a bit too old to think about learning a new GUI - I could perhaps give up completely and start re-organising my stamp collection (much overlooked for the past 40 years!). This would bring an end to my financial support for Steinberg while at the same time being an unwitting beta-tester for every new release.
Looking at the Cubase site, it seems that there may still be a lot of things that have not been fixed with the release of v.7.5.20 but let’s hope that they will be fixed before the release of Nuendo 6.5 - that’s what’s supposed to happen isn’t it?
