I use pretty much everything apart from Control Room. Control Room is not the only exclusive feature of “Pro”. Perhaps you should look at the comparison chart.
As powerful as control room is…Its totally not required and a little bit over the top for quick mono compatibility checks. There are much easier/better methods . I also notice its the same names rejecting most suggestions in this forum lol!! In the name of Evolution and Improvement, thank god you don’t work for steinberg!!! Over and out
