nice to hear that they got fixed after 16 years.

but i was talking about what one needs - you are talking about what could be extremly useful.

so you need everything which could be extremely useful? you need everything what someone offers to you? that is exactly what i question.

 

I cannot be bothered seeing if someone has already said this but it needs to be said.

Those of you who still use a lot of VST2 plugins, do not upgrade to this version because it only supports VST3.

You can of course keep 14 and version 15 will open the project (minus VST2 plugins).
It's probably also worth mentioning it doesn't error out on VST2 plugins, it simply won't even try to load them.

 

Just enable that in VST plugin manager.
I have no problem with VST2 at all.

 

I still use it on my 1040ste

 

Granted you have a point. No you don't need more than the bare essentials. But hey, the upgrade doesn't cost that much especially if you get it on discount and more importantly, I still need a version that works on a newer OS even if I'm almost never on the newest (macOS) and I use that same computer for other things as well so I need to access the internet on it.

That being said, life is difficult enough as it is, if I can do things quicker just by upgrading, which helps keep the software alive at the same time, I don't see what the problem is. Where I live, the iPhones that are always sold out are the most expensive, even though the only difference is the SSD capacity and we're talking amounts that NONE of those people have any need for (no buying movies from iTunes to watch on flights, etc) and even though they can't actually show off that they have the more expensive one since they look the same. It's just shallow, superficial satisfaction for *only* $1000 MORE than the cheaper iPhone. I don't engage in such bullshit, but I'll happily pay Steinberg the reasonable price of $50/60/100 once every one or even two years (it's feasible if you time it correctly) to get features I find useful and a version that is compatible with what will become the penultimate OS in the future.

i use 14.20, updated to 14.40 big mistake
14.20 runs perfect. no need to update to 15 what so ever, say what you will, cubase has upped their game, but still wants money each year
if ur lucky to find a functional version like 14.20.... stick with it, always make copies before updating!!

i wont use 15, no need....

Scroll to the bottom, you'll find download links to all previous updates of Cubase 14

 

i have an iPhone 6. as you can see, i am totally biased, hence my post.

 

yeah i know, i didn't mention i rolled back to 14.20 with that link, so alrdy done, thanks

Updating Cubase.... ALWAYS cause some trouble, its unbelievable how bad they are at updates... but best daw and best looking one out there!

 

What is working in 14.20 that is broken in 14.40 ? thank you

 

Interesting reactions. So there are actually two people who like to pay 100 bucks for every update?

Yes, quite a few – someone has to pay Steinberg's salaries, after all.

 

My 14.0.40 isn't broken so who knows, perhaps the issue is specific to their system.
