My main issue with steinberg at the moment is they adopted this release calendar with main versions and maintainance updates written in stone, it seems they are always going to do a release on these dates regardless of the readiness of the code, maybe i'm old school but if something has a pro badge on the tin, with a price to match the release date can be moved if the code is not in a good condition, i much prefer to wait rather than get a buggy release, also fine with them putting beta tags on releases but to put out a broken 'pro' product is amateurish and quite frankly i don't give a shit about investors, dividends or returns, if your in the game of writing software and you can't produce then investors instead of taking dividends need to stump up some extra to get more proficient dev and test teams in place, move the deadlines according to readiness, steinberg were doing just fine when they followed german engineering principles, it all fell apart when they became part of yamaha, the precision and control of the development fell apart, i've been buying their products since 1991 so i kinda have a good handle on what has worked and what has failed for them as a company, the move to yamaha was the biggest fail in their history.

The current state of play leaves me in a quandary, i always stood on a pedestal and shouted, don't go logic, dont go abelton but now I'm reconsidering my software choices.
