Considering Transitioning from Cubase to S1

I’m not saying that Cubase isn’t the right tool to use for large templates, especially in film scoring. It’s fabulous and what is arguably the best DAW for that purpose. The performance issues I mentioned are related to S1.

I’ve been watching S1 grow in features and refinements over the last few years. With the limited time I have spent with it, certain elements and ways to accomplish things flow more easily for my brain. I’m not ready to totally jump ship yet.

And yes, I’ve already upgraded to Cubase 15 and find the expression map enhancements fabulous. It was long overdue. Compared to how S1 handles Sound Variations, Cubase still lags behind. I use ArtConductor, and being able to import a single file into S1 and have all the articulation sets immediately available is fantastic. Still requires importing them individually into Cubase.

Anyways, appreciate the input!
