I've been using Platinum since it came out and as much as I complain about stuff that I think could work better, it has proven to be very good and getting better monthly. Except for one unique workflow, it never crashes.
The new features I really like are the changes to the console view to resize the FX bins and sends. I think I requested similar changes in the Feature Request forum, thanks for listening. Call me old school but when I mix, I want to see the mixing board and where things are going. The new console is rocking my world, at a glance I can now easily see the most important parts of my mix.
I'd still love to see the Pro-Channel EQ and compressor integrated into the mixing board channel strips but the new functionality is great. It's making production a lot easier for me.
Thanks Cakewalk!
