I cannot confirm the recording bug, the recording function here is working as it should,
but still, this showing that there is an incompatibility with some user settings …
Maybe you should create an option of a clean installation when you update a new release…
(without users losing the old settings, and be able to import them again with a filter, so you don’t create a mess with your .xml files !) 
Steinberg please make an official beta test channel and try to send to some people all the updates before you release it…
Stop destroying your reputation … unless you really enjoy seeing that you unable to make a working release update…
Is not making any sense to see that the build of the update is 20days before the release…
One year after the release of 9.5 … and still is not working as it should!!
Next month you gonna announce version 10…
I am really interested to know what Cubase manager is thinking about all this situation the last years !!
