The GUI & associated work flow really needs to be more consistent. Studio One is far superior in this regard after having used both for several years. Its simple to use and super efficient. Working in Cuase is like wading through treacle in comparison
UI is really untidy & inconsistent. The UI uses Different fonts, we have disappearing M/S buttons when zooming in on the mixer
We’ve lost a lot of the customisation in recent versions - can only now pick and adapt from existing from a colour palettes
The inspector is old fashioned. Steinberg should expose as many commonly used controls as possible to avoid having to click, open, close and scroll panels all the time
The floaty menu bar in windows is absolutely bizarre and wastes real estate if you extend the project window across two monitors. So annoying!!
We should have an option to have all plug ins render in a single tabbed window or have them separate - this should respond when I change tracks
Dragging and dropping is clunky - If I want to insert an audio clip into the project, I have to position the now cursor and drag the wav file all the way over to the left hand side to create a new track. I just want to drop it directly into project window - such a faff
The features to add/remove a track are not consistent between the mixer and the project window… grrr - means I have to switch back to the project window all the time
The editor windows have lost their integrated transport buttons - I have to jump bakc to the project window as a result
no smart tools in this day in age is painful - Sonar had this 10 years ago
In summary it takes too many clicks to get simple things done. Focus less on adding on adding generic instruments/content and give us a world class work flow.
All true and excellent points. It just needs to be paid attention to and modernized (i.e. made faster, more efficient and less clunky/click heavy) in these and some other ways.
