i used a Atari 1040ST with Emagic Logic when i was very young.
i created ~4 Eurodance etc etc 90is Vinyl records and some CD´s just with this Atari,some Studio Devices like Yamaha TG77 , Roland Devices compressor, limiter... +32 a channel Soundtrak Pult which left me bankrupt...

Now you can have all that in a 400 Euro laptop + Basic DAW

 

Cubase 15? People still use that in 2025? I am mildly shocked.

 

Based on google trends

 

Been using Cubase since Atari days, these are just trivial cosmetic touches, all those useless fiddly little wotevers reminds me of Ableton.

The only recent update that made sense to pro's is multi track stem take, instead of one at a time.

I'm still waiting for the sample track to be able to map different samples one on instance, especially useful for me when playing vox in.

Also fed up with only being able to work in one sample format, happy that it's 24/44.1, but i have to convert 48k samples etc before i can use them in same project, pathetic, especially as a lot of sample packs are 48k.

I'm still on 11, I think mostly, updates are to impress hobbyists to tempt them into unecessarly upgrading.

I only use it as a seqencer recorder cos that's where the real action is...

 

I'm really happy about the Expression Maps updates. Digital Performer's had per-articulation delay compensation for ages and film composers have been wanting that in Cubase ever since, and it seems like the sound slots feature at 0:32 in the OP's video makes it easier to use like Studio One so that's nice as well. If it allows setting and playing of multiple articulations at once e.g. staccato on top of a legato not for libraries without sampled marcatos, that would be fantastic. I'll have to see if Dom does a deeper dive on this feature.

 

It's the same complaints every year by people whining over it not being a deserved update while many probably aren't even paying for the software. If you do and you don't need the new features nobody is forcing you to update. And the complaints about not updating the Dolby Atmos issue in 14 they also have provided some updates for older versions when it came to these types of bugs. Or find a DAW that has all the features that you whised Cubase ever had and make the switch.

 

Well except the little e licenser shutdown thingie . As far as I understood I had to buy the 14 update to be able to update later in case something useful for me will be added . Otherwise I would still use 11 or earlier
