This is not about “bashing”, “thinking” or “liking”.
It is out of question, that the designers have done a bad job.
The new Mixer is simply not good !
- Taking more space for the same information.
- Hidden information all over the place.
- Completely missing information, that was there before and is still needed.
- Not ‘point and click’, anymore ! Instead You need a ‘master’ in ‘mouse gestures’.
E.g.: to see a send level for several adjacent tracks,
you need to make certain mouse gestures and then wait …
If nothing happens, try again … - Bad contrast and readability.
- Everything has the same shape / looks the same.
( unintuitive, steeper learning curve, error prone ) - Gain changes up to +/-2db are not visible.
- Everything can be sized, but settings can not be stored/recalled, globally
- there’s more …
Nothing above, is about taste.
It just shows, that the current Mixer is not “well done”.
It brings Cubase’ workslow to new heights !
But yes, it still can be used to mix a song …
On Toppic :
The Control Room Mixer can show more info, now. Good. It now remembers it’s visual settings. Good
Still not as good as it was before, though.
Sadly nothing more, for me …
Looks like they want me to pay the ‘major fee’, again.
