Your point is well taken, but regarding point 2) I don't pay the piper for upgrades unless something is wrong with my current system or its been soooo long that the new features sets will undeniably better my productions/workflow/stability etc.
Basically, once I have a great running system I leave it alone and do nothing (if I can help it). My CPU/software systems run a good 5+ years before I have to upgrade, and often much longer.
Been doing it that way for 20 years and with rare occasion (this being of them) its fine.
As for your other point, Cubase used to rock solid, something about this OS and this version just aint working like it should. So at this point, why not audition something something new that could potentially solve my problems and save me a little money?
Have you done a clean install of El Capitan and a Clean install of Cubase, no updating over existing installs? I can't tell you how much legacy crap is left over in the System with updaters vs. clean installs. Definitely worth trying.
I know in the past with pro tools that was an issue.
Try clean install with stock plugins only - then add in whatever you're using. You may find the clean install helped, or you may find one of your VSTs or VSTi's is the culprit, not Cubase.
Thanks, yeah I’ll try reinstalling. There’s definitely a few steps I can take when it comes to troubleshooting.
I obviously don’t have to switch to a new DAW, just exploring my options. And so far S1 has me intrigued. Part of what has me frustrated is that I feel Cubase 9.5 is just a crappy release. The midi latency has been horrible, much worse than version 6, so I really wanted to upgrade to 10.5 (initially). 10.5 has some cool new features that I think would be very useful. But you upgrade one thing, than you have to upgrade another etc etc..It’s just a rabbit hole I’m trying to avoid.
Thanks for the input everyone, I’m going to do some more troubleshooting AND continue to demo S1.
