    I am running cubase 11 since the day it came out. So far so good. Stable, it feels faster and some great new tools were added. But I am biased towards Cubase, tried many others, but Cubase is made for my kind of brain.

    Here's some logic nobody wants. If any DAW was the best, every studio and every person would be using it and nothing else.

    I like Cubase a lot but I also like Logic, ProTools, Ableton, Fruity Loops, S1 and Reaper.
    I have one that is my preference but they're all good and for different reasons. If you're using Windows 10 1909 or higher, the 1909 FLS slots seem to work best with Cubase and Ableton. I do not know why they just have no issues with masses of repeated plugins if you aren't bussing them. ProTools and Logic run better on a MAC. But in saying that they're all good and as I said, for different reasons.

    I used cubase for a long time, then I used SO1. And then I discovered Reaper and its free updates; its lightness, its portability (one USB key and I can work wherever I want), its incredible routing. I discovered the actions, macros, shortcuts, themes, the community, all the things developed by the users. The sub-projects, the recording editable in real time for a podcast. The backup on two different disks. And I've never known a Daw so stable, light and affordable for 55 euros. For two major versions.
    So, yes, the midi is different and less advanced than on cubase, but I used it as inspiration to create my tools and shortcuts. I tried to find the best in other DAWs, but sometimes I couldn't find it. I work in very low buffer with an I9 9900 k oc to 5ghz for recording with a sound card in TB3 or in firewire with a Mackie onyx 1640I with bands. and I use zero latency fxin in recording.
    Frankly, I'm disappointed for cubase users who hesitate to upgrade to v11. It's the same for me every year with Reason. Always spending money without finding any real pleasure afterwards when you could go and drink a good beer with your friends instead of worrying about such things. I know this feeling of wanting more and more because you think you're going to do better and make better music. We're all trapped in that system. Imagine if our softwares hadn't been updated for 3 years. Would it change a lot of things? I don't know how much it would. I'm waiting for your answers.

    All I can add to this discussion is that I have been using Cubase for most of my production life ever starting when it was known as Cubase VST, then onto Cubase SX V1 - 3, then Cubase 4 and right up to Cubase 11 Pro. I rarely have an issue with it and when I do its because I have gone mad with plugins and loaded too many on every track. No DAW could stand up to that.

    The arguement of which DAW is best is long, complicated and to be honest pointless as being "the best" means diferent things to different people. How a DAW performs is affected by a multitude of factors, too many to list here so the Ops problems could be caused by any number of things.

    sampler track updating alone (warping, slicing, modulating etc.) worth the upgrade

    finally don't have to use third-party plugins for these tasks (or Halion star destroyer), finally C also has some Simpler, SliceX like solution missed something like this very much previously

    ps. oh and Backbone (not C11 related can be used in any DAW) sampler track can import to it

    lovely, in nutshell it can separate the tonal and noise component in drum samples (to diff. layers) so the tonal one can be tuned without modifying the noise one (or they can be exported independently) + effects + resynthesis + etc.

    working in c11 almost every day, since release. no problems at all. How you can compare S1 to Cubase? S1 doesn't have proper PDC.
    As far as i know, only 2 Daw have PDC its: Cubase & Reaper

    I´m on Cubase since the year 2000. Now it´s Cubase 11 Pro and I still love it. For me the quality has been increased with every version. It is more stable than ever and the workflow suits perfectly to me. I also use Ableton or Reason by time and they are both great as well regarding soundsources or creative work. But when it comes to arrangement and mixing Cubase is on top of it. I think it´s about the overview of the DAWs. I´ve never had Logic or Pro Tools but I guess they are similar to Cubase. I think the stock plugins of at least Logic are better than in Cubase but there are loads of third party plugs which I love to work with. Finally it comes to the point what we are used to and I´ve been working on Cubase for 21 years now. I know it quite well and it´s so fast to work with after such a long time. I won´t ever switch to another DAW in final stage of production. There is a lot more to say about the DAWs´ differences but for me that´s the core of it.

    Moved from Cubase to Studio One a couple of years ago and I've never looked back since. Of course, this is just an opinion and as such, subjective.
