Yeah I think people get a little unreasonably upset when things they wanted weren’t included. I haven’t updated yet, but I will when the smoke clears and I’m sure no big issues are going to take me by surprise. Seems like they’ve added some worthwhile things, and the mixer history is essential.
I can only chuckle a little at guys complaining about $100 for an upgrade. You should try being an Ableton customer. $250-300 between versions, and they don’t listen to feature requests any better than Steinberg. Perhaps worse. That said, they did practically add as much in a free .5 update as Cubase did between 8.5 and 9.
