How about macro controls automation? Or real part(event) automation (not only midi or synth parameters but insert plugins)? It seems easy to do.

macro controls automation would be really nice

Will the majority of people ever be happy with any update of any DAW? Seriously wondering..

Who says this isn't the case? No one ever complains about a free thing...

I have choices, and 2022 is the year that I start killing off choices and hunker down to increase my output and decrease distractions.

Resolutions, etc.

ORLY?

New update has plenty of cool stuff, Listen bus probably best QoL feature with so many using room correction/headphone correction software these days

With midi drag & drop to chord track does this mean they've fixed the quirk where a midi over a certain size will open a whole new song instead of just dropping into the track ?

[jamcat]

Any update where they don’t ruin Studio One with something moronic like a clip launcher is a good update.

Anyway the presentation is over and there are some cool non mixing stuff added in there, like strums, chord stacking etc.

Yup, those are great! But especially the latter would work so much better if piano roll's key & scale lock would follow the chord track, so that the "drawn" chords change accordingly over time, not remain static. Hopefully in v5.6 / v6.

[fairlyclose]

looks a solid update to me - gradually integrating more features, like in mastering, within a coherent design.

Don't need that, but I'd kill for Arranger Track shared clips

[summer2000]

I'm really liking the mix scenes improvement with automation recall. Everything else not so much. I'll only update to 5.5 because it's free.

● Clip Gain Envelopes

Yay.
