i would upgrade Cubase instantly to C10 if it had 3 new things:
1:/ VSTm plugins…ie ability to “plug in” different mixer algorithms. Not just the “vanilla” one it currently has. I want to be able to buy an “SSL VSTm” and have the mixdown algorithm change to sound like SSL and the mixer channel graphics to change accordingly to suit and look like an SSL mixer strip. I dont want to be doing this in a convoluted way with plugins and linking etc etc. It should be clean and neat and incorporated properly into the mixer section, not as a “Bolt-on” how it currently works with 3rd party options. Its a whole new potential market that Steinberg could open up.
2:/ Ability to move mixer channels left and right independently. Untied from track order how it currently is.
ie: Request: Drag Mixer channels around independantly from tracks - Cubase - Steinberg Forums
3:/ Ability to rename VST3 plugin names to what i want in the plugin manager. Simple and logical and reasonable request i would have thought.
Cheers!
Darren.
