Completely agreed !
As I said, I don’t understand why an upgrade fee would be a problem even some bugs, compare to a lot of expensive and sometimes clearly useless plugins we might sometimes buy…
But in the other hand, I think it’s also important to discuss problems to see if they just can be solved with workaround a or if it needs new direct functions.
The fact that everybody reacts the same as before is perhaps also (partly) due to the fact that a lot of software are delivered with many bugs which are sometimes really annoying.
It’s quite expected (and normal I would say as the soft is really complex)
But I don’t think it’s useless to sometimes say that dev should focus on addressing recurrent annoying problems rather than implementing new functions that could have waited a bit.
As I said, I mostly agree with you and I remember PT3.2 and N2 also… Yes we do have magic tools today, but we are asked to do miracles way faster than before.
That being said, I’m really happy with Nuendo as main daw, but that’s also a reason to try an push it further…
