There are some clever suggestions in this thread. However, I kind of gave up waiting for anything useful in new versions of Cubase. I even quit hoping they won’t worsen something (like they already did several times).
I guess it’s better to be content with what I have now and just concentrate on work. In fact, I still use 8.5 even as I own 9.5, mainly because I need to use video engine all the time, and new video engine won’t work under OSX Mavericks 10.9.5. And there are NO features in 9.5 for me which would make me want to upgrade my system.
