      For those who need or want a more simplistic recording program there are things like Audacity or Reaper. But once you get your head wrapped around the Cubase ecosystem, besides realizing why it is designed the way it is you also begin to understand all the features that make work easier in the long run.

    DP has also had this feature for a long time. It's useful for preproduction (checking levels for preferred balance) and a static mix where you're not redoing the automation. I guess you have to be happy with the sound/level aspect of the mix before you can go retouching the automation tracks.

    @svenisaksson3970 Місяць тому +14

    Dom. What you neglect to mention is that the Snapshot feature is useless in most circumstanses. It is ONLY of use for static mixes, which are very rare these days. The instance you introduce automation into the mix (pun intended), it becomes useless.
    What I've been hoping for, for ages, is for Steinberg to introduce a Mix Versions feature. This should look something like Snapshots, but also take automation into account. It should also include the Track Versions and the Arranger Track(s) data. Now THAT would be very useful! It would mean that it would be possible to contain, not only revisions, but also versions (regular, radio, extended, etc.) of a mix all within one single Project file.
    But until that happens, we're stuck with having to juggle multiple project files around. One for each mix (revision)!

      Thanks for that info Dom, and I was about to ask the same question as svenisaksson when I saw his post. I was a Digital Performer user before switching to Cubase, and the MIX TAKES feature was one that I missed from DP, as it includes automation data as well as the static snapshot. Really a great benefit to have all mix VERSIONS in a single project, and perhaps that could be implemented in a future update (?). Cubase is an awesome daw though, and your videos are MUCH appreciated!

    Would be much better to be able to store not only a mixer snapshots, but project edits also in one click.
    In most cases client edits consists of both mixer settings and track edits.
    Steinberg could implement something like a "project versions" inside an existing project. Currently we need to save a new track version for all track along with mixer settings.
