How is right-clicking to set-up a MIDI controller any more complicated than any actions required to set up a fader group? It is a perfect illustration of unwillingness to adapt.
The point is I DON'T want to convince you as you're workflow is different from mine. I'm already convinced that my workflow is different from yours. I'm also convinced that your workflow is great for you, like my workflow is great for me.
What you are not understanding is that fixing problems for some people can create problems for others. So the question becomes one of why should I be forced to adapt my workflow to accommodate a bunch of people who are unwilling to adapt theirs? That's the thing, It's not that I don't understand other users needs, it's just that I don't see that their needs justify breaking things that I have spent a lot of time and effort setting up to work within the limits Orion has, which for me are very different to the ones others perceive.
What I do want to convince you on is that workflows differ so requirements differ, and you should respect that.
Why would I when it is clear that you have no respect for my workflow and needs and see no problem at all fucking me over? Respect is a two-way street.
I do respect that. I never said that you need to work the way I do but you regularly try to convince me and others here on the forum that we should work the way you do. And that is utter nonsense.
Well, the big difference is that I get my work done and you guys have to go elsewhere to do it. That shows that your workflow is flawed, so why would I regard it as highly as I regard my own? Your example above and in the hide minimised windows thread provides ample evidence that you are unwilling to adapt even slightly and expect everything to be just so for you.
So if Orion gets more busses then you either adapt (as you say we should) and start using them, or you abandon Orion because you cant work with it if it gets more busses. Your reasoning here is critically flawed; you could simple ignore the fact that you 'could' use more busses.
No, my reasoning is completely consistent - any changes that are made should be to everyone's advantage, not favouring one group at the expense of another. Why should I be forced out, having spent a decade refining my workflow to get the most out of Orion, just to accommodate a bunch of idiots who put absolutely zero planning into what they are doing?
Right now I am at the absolute limit of what I can work with so even a couple more strips in the Master Section will render Orion as useful as every other host out there, all of which I consider unacceptable. It's a defining moment for me and I don't see why I should be the one to get fucked over, nor have I read anything from you or anyone else to convince me there is any merit in doing so.
