Yes you can scroll-wheel to change values, but I like to click and drag. I really dislike the small faders in DP’s mixer as well. Resizing channels in DP is basically non-existent compared to Cubase’s excellent amount of control. Nothing like Cubase’s amazing Q-link, especially for inserting and controlling plugins.
Cubase 8 vs cubase 9 windows#
Having to fuss with modal dialogs and always-on-top windows in Cubase to do certain functions is really annoying. I hate floating windows and DP allows me to have so much information on screen very easily. The consolidated window systemīeing able to dock any window I want is amazing. Huge winner here for someone like me that is obsessed with workflow and efficiency. DP shows you all results as you type.ĭP also has more functions mapped by default. Cubase shows you each result for the search one at a time. The Command window’s search is also light years better than Cubase’s keyboard commands search. Often I’ll forget some weird rarely used shortcut and I can quickly search for it and go. I have the commands window docked so I can always see it.
Having such quick access to shortcuts is so useful.
I find it to be a much more efficient use of space than Cubase’s Inspector. I’m not talking about a channel strip plugin, but what is called the ‘Inspector’ in Cubase.ĭP allows you to section this in to 4 columns and it can be easily docked and moved around very nicely. Zoom levels do not do that, they just squish everything! DP’s Channel strip It also presents relevant information in a more coherent way considering that you are being presented with a large-scale view of the project.
Cubase 8 vs cubase 9 software#
Yes you can do this in other software kinda by just zooming out a lot (or using a zoom preset), but the convenience of the Tracks Overview is awesome. It’s a very quick and easy way to make ‘macro-level’ changes to a project and easily manage huge projects. The Tracks Overview window in DP is awesome. The modularity of ‘anything in a project can be a project or put in to a project’ is very useful. Likewise it makes it easy to move parts between songs, manage songs themselves, use for track templates and more. They let me rip out parts of a track and work on them in their own little project and recombine them easily in various ways. Simple things such as having the cursor return to playback position or not are simple in DP. It’s much more flexible and allows you to adapts your workflow. I also much prefer the methods of timeline selection, cycle selection and playback cursor control in DP. The memory functions are awesome and I much prefer them to how Cubase’s loop/cycle markers work. I am not really much of a fan of dark UIs, which Cubase certainly is even after you hand-modify a bunch of colours yourself. I really like the Eight Bit theme that you can see on the features page under themes. There’s also some really useful plugins like the Precision Delay, Subkick and Megasynth that are just very useful. I have a few third-party dynamic EQ plugins and they just don’t compare for me. So if I switch to Cubase, I’m going to have to spend a lot of time and some extra money finding an 1176 and LA-2A emulation that’s as good as what comes with DP. I sold all my plugins that overlap with what the Masterworks Collection can do. The Masterworks Collection that is included in DP is actually really good. I really enjoy Cubase so far, however there’s a few things that have me reconsidering. Currently I’m still going back and forth about switching from DP 9 to Cubase 8.5.
