Spring will probably be 40% off, but before then I can’t see anything that considerable.
It’s hard to say as their cycle has changed from yearly to bi-yearly, and we don’t know how well C13 is selling. If they need a sales boost, of course, it could come at any time.
Was hoping they would add the ‘Jump Bar’ from Dorico into C13, it would be such a great addition for macros and commands you don’t often use.
Also, i’m used to a full sized keyboard and be running off my macbook recently, so a lot of the key commands I can’t use as lacking the numpad, and Function keys aren’t all that second nature for me to hold down ‘Fn’.
For example, I’d love to be able to press ‘?’ and type ‘Mixer’ to get the mixer up, or ‘Quantise’ to open the quantise settings.
A lot of people do that, make cuts on individual tracks to create room in the mix, and then the final groups have the boosts and character added.
You have to be careful if you’re boosting individual tracks and then boosting again on the final groups. But it comes down to the sound you want and your ear will tell you what’s good.
Some love a clean sound with plenty of dynamics, others love crushing over-saturated sounds. It’s only if you’re wanting to charge others for mixing should certain rules start to apply (imo), as beyond that it’s good to get creative and move the goalposts, that’s where the fun is for me.
