Double click an .exe once and you can run your 32-bit plugins in your 64-bit DAW with arguably better stability than an actual 32-bit DAW. There's not a whole lot to dislike.JerGoertz wrote: I don't like using bit-bridges.
jBridge prevents DAW crashes and offers many per-plugin troubleshooting options that can help your buggy/crash-prone plugins run flawlessly even on the latest DAW versions.
The interface changes have been allowing them to add a ton of new features and workflow enhancements that simply couldn't be implemented elegantly on the old interface. That's probably their main motivation to change it.Whether the interface changes are for the better is a matter of opinion, dontcha think?
Sure it was controversial back when Cubase 7 was released, but pretty much everything bad about it got fixed by the time Cubase 8 came out (years ago!).
I've been following the Steinberg forums closely for the past few years, and I'm pretty sure I saw more people requesting for the Interactive Phrase Synthesizer from the Cubase Atari days to be brought back than people complaining about the current interface or claiming that the old one was better. You rarely see that even on Gearslutz which is full of grumpy old men.
Everyone else either grew to like the new interface or at least got used to it, and I'm pretty sure you would too if you gave Cubase 9.5 a real chance.
But sure, if you would rather waste your time trying to learn a completely different, primitive DAW suffering from horribly slow development like bitwig, that's your problem.
