Swurve, IME, 10 performs a little better on Windows than 8.5 (never used 8)....a TON better on OSX, and actually orks on modern osx, where any version since maybe 4 works in Windows (IME)....
ASIO Gaurd’s performance seems to have seriously matured....where those early ones, it added latency for some mor rbst total DSP....it seems to be snappy AF now playing VIs, which is the only time latency is an issue ith me (all audio monitoring will be hardware forever).....BUT.....heres something for you to cnsider: if you have it turned OFF (the best setting imo for 8.5 on Windows) you will likely need to turn it ON....on my machine at least its now required for similar total DSP vs 4/6/8.5 with it OFF.
This is my struggle with ever upgrading, theyre not adding much I care about. I DO like the way the mixer configurations are handled now(in concert with how they map to the control surface)....I like the Hermode Tuning implementation for midi strings....thats all minor stuff and both are in your v8. If you’re ure into vocal tuning, the new algorithm is immensely better for Variaudio. I noticed that by accident—i tuned something in a demo in v10, and opened thenproject in v6....what was a ultra transparent corr crion in 10 sounded “like autotune” in v6.

That's likely going to get my money-now with the updates on sale....and since I know I can run v6 on the same machine (since I demo'd it that way)....

kinda hoping they do a discount on the crossgrade to nuendo. I wouldn't need the features now but if it would be inexpensive to switch I would grab it in case projects may come my way in the future.Theres less work recording and mixing live musicians and /or less $ so Im interested in perhaps game, vr, and film work in the future kinda maybe either that or plumbing. Building a new mix room slowly over the next year so have been speculating about some kind of surround system but need to learn about how to achieve that without adding a lot to the budget and taking up a lot of space.Picked up a bunch of used tannoy in wall 8" dual concentric speakers for almost nothing would be cool to just set them up and try out a mix on ye olde nuendio

15 year Cubase user, here! Wouldn't have it ANY other way...
Used PT back in the day, but Cubase just makes sense to me. The context menu verbiage, how it's laid out, how easy it is to do, basically anything.
Crazy price. I'm still on 7.5! Would LOVE to go to 10 for Bounce in Place and VCA's alone... DANG!

I have GOT to watch some videos about this comp tool. Seems like I'm having to constantly flip between the regular pointer and the comp tool now...there must be some "workflow" I'm not getting.

I've been on Nuendo/Cubase since around 2000. Funny thing is, I never used the comp tool till this last year. WOW! what a great tool. it made putting together vocal takes so much easier. I used to cut the track and then use the mute tool to get to the correct part. The comp tool saved me dozens of hours on the last project alone. The software is so deep. I don't know that I even scratch the surface on what it can do.

Is this due to your computer not being able to handle the load of all the processing, whereby playback is sluggish and/or stops, or something else also?

No its not because of lack of processing power. Say you have a midi drum instrument programmed, and stemmed out to individual tracks in your daw (kick, snare, oh, etc), and lets say you have all sorts of plugins on those individual tracks. When it comes time to mix you can "render in place" and all the midi tracks will be converted to audio tracks, and all your plugins and settings will be copied over to the new tracks. It's a HUGE time saver.

For people who are already stemming out the individual midi channels and processing them with plugins in the DAW-and then bouncing down the final mix to a stereo mix- I don't see the advantage.

[ I do it because I I’ve been asked for stems and/or remixes sometimes years after a mix was done. And at that point good luck having your vst instruments open the way they were after whatever upgrades/updates, OS changes, new computer, etc etc. I learned the hard way to consolidate everything to audio for the mix.

Sometimes VST/MIDI instruments respond sporadically during different playbacks... it can be useful to bounce one in place simply to have it play the same every time and so you can do your editing and so on.

I have a license for both Nuendo and Cubase. I bought the Nuendo update a couple weeks ago. Cubase is still at version 8.5 but I never use it. Still, I'm thinking about getting the update to 10, just so I have it at the reduced cost. Too many updates lately. Izotope and Steinberg (plus a few others) have got way too much of my money in the last two months. Now, i need to come up with yet another excuse for my wife of why I need to upgrade Cubase.

Seems like I'm having to constantly flip between the regular pointer and the comp tool now...there must be some "workflow" I'm not getting. Did you click on the “lanes” icon? You might have to add it to the channel to see it first. Once that’s open you’re able to see all your takes...then you select the comp tool and just swipe whatever parts you want. I like it A LOT more than Pt comping.

I like it A LOT more than Pt comping. Yes, I did. I always DID....I used to do the comp with the regular pointer (after cutting into phrases with the scissors at the beginning). But, then I do it so infrequently, it's always like reinventing the wheel for me.

Has anybody checked out the updated Reverence IR reverb?
I'm very interested in convolution reverb in general.
Guess I'll let you know in a week when I get the update.

Well, I did it. I bought in. $166 plus the USB dongle (grumble, growl). The pain part is that I am one OS update behind the minimum required spec'd for Cubase, but maxed for PT12. Which means I could break my Pro Tools by moving up an OS to get Cubase to work. Regardless, I couldn't pass up the price.
