I would like to know why you left Cubase, any good memories? What were some of things you didnt like about it around that time? Got a favorite version? Mine was 6.

Fair enough. If there wasn't Studio One, I'd happily go on using Cubase. Both very good applications IMO. Studio One just works a bit faster, feels more streamlined, and doesn't include so many things I probably will never need, and that's why I switched.
You also feel that there's some legacy stuff in Cubase, which should be modernized. I'm sure it will be, but, with that feature set, it's normal that there's many "leftovers", which can't be updated by tomorrow.

Cubasis AV was my first real DAW on the PC in the late 90ies.
Confusing, tons of windows, somehow non-musical, worked somehow but felt super clumsy, more like a spreadsheet really. Inspiration factor Zero.
Kept at it till Cubasis VST 3.5. Got even worse over time.
Then found Ableton Live.
Never looked back (in fact I did, several times when I got Cubase light versions with another product, each time with the same conclusion: still as clumsy as in the last century, even some of the (many) windows I remembered are still there ).
The company itself felt/feels just as clumsy, as do their installations and support...
Not my world
Edit: Then came Bitwig, so I left Ableton for good.
Cheers,
Tom

Same for me, used it back in the 90s but it felt kind of confusing already back then.ThomasHelzle wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 4:50 pm Cubasis AV was my first real DAW on the PC in the late 90ies.

I've been seeing the new UI and it looks even more confusing than it did in the 90s... and yes, the company also feels clumsy even for someone like me who lives only a couple of kilometers away from their offices.

Aren't you using Bitwig now? Or have you moved on to something else? You're not active on the sub-forum like you used to

I left Cubase because they stopped developing for the Atari ...

Yeah, should add that above.
No, still love Bitwig as much as ever, just read enough silly forum posts to last a lifetime and so laid down my moderator role a year ago. Now I only read what I'm actually interested in
B.l.i.s.s.
Cheers,
Tom

I left Cubase 8 for Cubase 8.5, then I left Cubase 8.5 for Cubase 9, then Cubase 9 for Cubase 9.5, then 9.5 for 10 and recently I left Cubase 10 for Cubase 10.5
Back in the nineties I left Cubase for Atari because I bought a PC
