Hey everyone! I found a really neat trick to (almost) get free updates on your legit cubase pro.
I have the legit cubase pro 10 but i always still download the VR elements extemded version on my laptop, so i can use it incase i dont have the dongle, and also to check out the new updated stuff, like the new squasher plugin and updated sampler track.

So today I thought of copying the sampler track dll files, and the whole vst3 plugins folder included in the VR extender to my legit cubase pro directory.
And lo behold!! It works!!
I have the updated sampler track, new plugins from pro 11 working in my legit cubase pro 10

I will try to copy the same folders and files from a new installation of cubase pro 11, and see if that works (might not, but worth a shot)

 

I have Cubase Pro 8.5 . I wonder if i can run the sampler track over that method.

 

You should try getting the files for sampler track from 9.5 versions to see if it works (might not, as it was introduced in 9.5). But you should still try. And the plugins from latest versions will definitely work

 

Wow, do you think this will work when copying the directory of Cubase 11 Pro Trial into Cubase Artist 10.5 (which I have a legit license for) directory?

Aside from the updated Sampler Track, does the new Squasher plugin work too?

 

idk if copying the files from a legit installed version will work, i have yet to try that. I copied the files from extended elements. Maybe theyre the same, i dont really know. But you should definitely try it from cubase pro 11.
And if it doesnt work, just use my method (extender elements), its just 70 mb.

And yes, squasher and all other plugins work.


-Sampler track files are in 'Components' folder, (2 files)

-plugins are in vst3 folder named as a file (or maybe a folder: 'cubase pro pluginset.vst3'. Copy this in vst3 folder of your legit version directory

Confirmed , with this trick new sample track works with Cubase pro 10.5.
If you want Squasher , Supervision , etc : it's ok too but you loose channel EQ.

(took the files from Audioz Cubase pro 11 version)

Thanks jishnu !

 

nice, might try this but one can get the demo too and do it this way me thinks. Might just do that.

 

Why does this trick mess up channel EQ functionality?

 

can you make a video recording how to do this ?!

 

"Why does this trick mess up channel EQ functionality?"

I don't know but it's when 'cubase pro pluginset.vst3' is replaced by the pro 11 version.

 

Interesting.. I have 10.5 Pro.. I will try to download the 11 Trial and try with the original files.. What specific files did you replace? I have to make a backup too in case this goes wrong.. But trying the new plugins worth the shot..

 

I`m reading that this mess the EQ in the Channel Strip?

 

Look a few posts above , like jishnu said :
