Actually, I went directly from 6.5.5 to 10.0.20 last june. I did have 7.0.x but the thing was absolutely unreliable, and I was hating the clumsy new MixConsole at this time, to the point where I took a Reaper licence and tried to do something usable with it during more than five years. A bad move that I still regret : life is short…
So, C10 was nearly another world, for me. I actually like the way the windows are designed and working (among others, no more ‘Maximize’ issue - yay !). It’s not perfect, though, and I recently made a feature request concerning the arrangement view. And I might do another one, concerning the fonts management in the MixConsole, this time, which is getting on my nerves each time I’m trying to use the ‘Gain’ control of a strip, but well… Overall, I must say that I’m rather pleased with C10.0.xx GUI.
