I understand what youre saying, but in my opinion alot of these default preferences are limiting features or affecting performance.
Why should someone have to go into preferences to enable something that they did not know even existed in the first place.
As a professional DAW I would highly recommend for Steinberg to optomize preferences a bit more out of the box for users, we shouldn’t have to go into preferences at all basically.
Would you care to explain more of your thoughts on what you dislike about the changes ?
Im preparing myself for a awful release of Cubase 9 full of bugs and bloatware…yay ! its time for myself to stop sucking upto Steinberg, I have been affected with horrendous DAW performance and instability for years now ever since Cubase 7 !!!
