Cubase 10 expectations, hopes, etc.?

Agreed.

I’d pay 1000 Euro for Cubase 10 if they only completed the features half heartedly introduced… e.g. Folder Sync (does not work), Import from Song (all types and without media), Direct Offline Processing, VariAudio (be as good as Melodyne or just give us ARA 2 for Melodyne and forget it). Add track Dialog (give the option for the Input as well as the output)… etc I do NOT want to see a new synth or halion content or ANOTHER interface revamp (yawn) .
