As someone who is still going back and forth between 5.5 and 6, I can tell you that 6 has me moving a lot faster. Mixer configurations, sends and inserts in the same view, zones, mixer visibility and now project window visibility, rtas on each channel as well as in the post and studio eqs all equal far less clicking for me.
I used to have a ton of KCs and mackie control buttons programed for different views and different mixers and I don’t need them now because that thing that was one or two clicks or buttons away is now right in front of me or only one click or button away.
On small projects it doesn’t make much difference but it still helps. One larger projects is makes a big difference and it is really hard to go back to N5.5.
That being said, there is room for improvement and most of the gripes and suggestions floating around are warranted and would make it even better.
