I used to have a studio in a studio complex with 15 other studios with most of them using either Cubase or Nuendo and every single one of them used to bitch and moan about the hover buttons, the language in the communal area was quite rich at times i can tell you!
I haven’t met a professional yet who works to tight deadlines who actually likes this hover stuff, and i’m in and around studios all over London a lot, everyone hates it.
Steinberg really need to be brave here and admit they got this hover experiment badly wrong and fix it asap, it truly is infuriating.
