I'm a fan of Alt+Drag myself
Cinematic Studio Series (strings, brass, woodwinds) tends to be the most consistent among then all. Spitfire's Tundra is probably the most useable...
The gripes about the necessity to upgrade Cubase are likely more driven by FOMO than anything. If we are talking about a major revision like VST3...
This was a while ago, so I don't know if you have figured it out, if you click the little triangle next to Stereo Out, you can specify the outputs...
Do you have an ARA plugin installed? (Melodyne, SpectraLayers, VocALign Project)?
Depending on the project, my usual go-to's are Synapse Audio Dune 3 and Slate+Ash Landforms (Kontakt).
Why do people have this issue anyway? I have never run across it myself.
Personally, Orchestral Tools Berlin Percussion Edit: Spitfire Percussion has the most charming Celeste I have heard, however.
