    Sounds nice but I hear that buying reaper has a high risk of afflicting one with a mental illness that compels them to shoehorn remarks about the price/value of reaper into every discussion about other DAWs :rofl:

    I’m thinking I’ll hold off on Reaper until the next .5 Cubase update goes up to $80 in a few years lol

    Got to admit update the update felt a bit weak for £50 but Padshop 2 and that delay.... mmmhhh. I think the trouble with Cubase is there is so much of it that 10 feature updates look poor, anyway I'm in and goning to give it a spin. Catch you later.

    Hello all :) I know it's been mentioned elsewhere in passing but I still can't quite get my head around it...
    As a poor, starving musician, I wonder.. how do I best time & take advantage of these grace periods and sales to spend the minimum on the upgrades and be entitled to the next major release? I already have 10.0.40 Artist that I purchased and installed during the 50% anniversary sale. Any info would be most helpful. Thank you :wink:

    (Edit: I checked my USB eLicenser number and I'm not eligible for the grace period for when I bought v10)

    I think if you buy the (ie) next update, and can wait until the update after that to activate it, you essentially get a free upgrade like Bunford did. I think the grace period is 4 weeks. In this case, it would mean buying 10.5 now, and waiting ~until 11 is released. Might be worth it if you can hold off? I like the new features, but also (as ever) feels like a beta test!

    Did you try turning on hi dpi mode? Cos that makes Cubase look a lot (a bit =) less fugly...

    Same question here. Still on 9.5 (pro)...Might buy this 10.5 update but won't activate it right now, when shall I do it to benefit from the future 11 ? How long for the grace period ?

    There's a bit of info about the grace period here. I think you can buy it whenever (I know that black Friday / Valentine's day might be worth waiting for?) so long as you hold off activating it until 4 weeks before the new version (I guess 11.)

    @Bunford can prolly tell us if that's right, I've always just (stupidly) leapt without a parachute / umbrella / condoms. Had a few problems with the update, but I like the new stuff as I expected to. I still can't work out how to change mixer colors; and always thought that mixer colors were already colored! (Mind you I only just realised that you could resize mixer widths! RTFM =)

    Anyway, I always thought that Steinberg introduced a subscription model (used to work out about $10 a month) before even Studio One.

    Cheers for that, I'll wait for a sale indeed. I'll check the previous release dates of 10, 9, etc, to pinpoint the approximate good period for activation.
    I like what Steinberg has been adding since v10 but I'm a lazzy dudde, I've been using Cubase only since v9 took me a while to figure things out and a workflow and I didn't want to have to learn new things...I'll take more time for that when 11 comes out.
    :wink:

    I purchased a damn update in Feb. Got other things to buy, it's the holidays.
    Plus, I don't like upgrading in the middle of a bunch of major projects.
    As for Retrospective Record, it already exist in Cubase. It's been there for at least a decade.
    Just make sure it's turned on in the preferences. It doesn't have a dedicated icon. I've assigned a keystroke (shift+*)
    Hope that saves someone 60 bucks, if that was your main reason to update.
    I like the colored tracks but merging audio and video?
    I swear that's a returning function that got stripped after CubaseVST became just Cubase.
    Anyway, I'll catch them on the next one or 11. :cool:

    Sensible, not upgrading with active projects, had a hell of a weekend trying to work out why nothing would load. Turns out (despite c/p presets / prefs) control room was turned off by default, making that Kush crash bug return!

    Yeah, I think that's for audio. Which I didn't realise, but noticed (I assumed magic) that resizing rec'd audio "reinstated" it. Somehow. I couldn't work out how to "turn on" the new MIDI RR thing, I think it just does it automatically. I guess it turns off if you turn the buffer down to zero? Seems like the only option, despite (r)TFM saying you need to turn it on! It's pretty useful, tbh.

    I think now the change for RR is that it is for multiple tracks with cycled layers

    Okay, I think I've got it now... Buy the update (in sale if pos?), wait 'til around 4 weeks or less before the next .5 release - then install & register. Thank you :like: :mates:
    Yeah, I don't blame you not wanting to make any changes to your system while in the middle of a number of projects! It's damn annoying that my (music & gaming) machine downloads upgrades to Windows every 5 minutes whenever I allow it to go online to play ESO, SWTOR or STO.
