No,, not really, although to be fair to them, yamaha hasnt been in charge for long.
Dont forget ,, steinberg were in the process of changing over to pinnicle,s way of doing things, and then all of a sudden,,, yamaha buys out the lot.
There are a lot of corporate changes and huge business initiatives to get up and running before yamaha gets to make any solid changes to cubase.
There are still the occassional bugs that turn up in sx 3 although they have got patches together for most of them. The eagerly awaited and some say,, long overdue,, sx4 will be with us sometime this year, but as with most of steinbergs products, there is always going to be the initial bugs and growing pains found in any new software.
I do think that once yamaha gets steinberg up on its feet again , i can see cubase becoming the software of choice. We all know of yamahas fantastic quality, innovative designs and customer support and everyone is hoping that it will eventually lead to a new cubase that is bug free,, runs smoothly, and appeals to newcomers as well as hardened musicians and studio engineers alike.
I am sure they will be making changes for the best when they get going.
