Actually, that's misquoting me a bit. I never mentioned Meddle, which has a similar GUI, but not an especially similar feature set. I think the comparison with TERA is more compelling.bduffy wrote:[snip]

it looks like they are *cough*borrowing*cough* from logic, live, and even kore.
soundframe looks awesome. such a needed thing, that. but the plug interfaces just dont compete with the logic ones. they are goregously designed, but it's completely obvious they were going for logic-esque almost too much. look at how the pots are sitting in the middle of negative space on some of those shots. looks totally goofy imo. i know the 'round' thing is emulation of logic ui design, etc, but ffs they are literally floating all over.
not my cup o' tea to be sure but very nice. i can already hear the bitching of users with low res smaller displays.
clarifying; i think this new stuff is great design, just am not impressed by emulation -- i expect steinberg dudes to innovate, not emulate. especially steinberg.
the simple clean look of the controls on the channel strip for example are clearly emulating live as well.. it's a good thing to emulate, live UI rules.
heh. they all look like fun though, for sure. i wonder how the designers felt when steiny said "we need new stuff that looks like logic and live"?
FINALLY docked views!? i may be upgrading to this one. the thing is it's still cubase i'd really like to see some menu shots -- pulldowns exposed to see how all this new stuff is integrated.

if they do have gapless, that will be incredible. can you imagine?headquest wrote:I wonder if the "Sound Frame Browser" will be another take on the NI KORE concept? If so, I wonder whether C4 will offer a new gapless audio engine...

Nah then. That's 33 to 1 against no bugs in the audio engine.
12 to 5 on no more fixes for SX 3, err…
3 to 1 they never get the bugs out of control room, moving up 33 to 1 it crashes the program in the first release.
5 to 1 the new synths are just d'Cota in a fancy gui.
5 to 4 on SONAR gets a new release out just in time to spike the market.
Come on now! You're the fools, give me yer money!

What do you mean?cptgone wrote:Remember Steinberg's first implementation of Freeze (SX2)?
(I do remember that in SX2 they copied the exact Freeze function that Tracktion had pioneered, but beyond that I don't actually remember, so please remind me...)

Sonar 6 is out next month. So is Live 6. And possibly Tracktion 3. And let's not forget Samplitude 9 and Logic 8... Interesting times...cptgone wrote: i hope so... and i'll give it a good look before upgrading my SX2.
