    how can someone not like cubase without trying? just for the sake of hating? open yourself and accept the fact that people try cubase and don't necessary need it.

    Are all you windows Cubasers running it on WIN 10 1909 and up?

    My WIN 10 is 1903 and I have disabled updates and bloatware with a powershell script from github.

    I want to get Cubase 11... just want to know if I have to update my WIN 10 install.

    EDIT - Never mind... updated WIN 10 to the latest and then debloated again. All set for Cubase 11! :yes:

    Regards

    I'm using it since cubase SX2 till last month!
    I DON'T HATE CUBASE but i hate steinberg now because they think me and people like me are idiot and they insulting us!
    Why?
    For example:
    Why do people like us needs something stupid like "Scale Assistant"?
    Is it Cubase 1?
    Here we are talking about Cubase 11 pro!!!
    It's about 20 years old DAW!
    Euro100 for an upgrade?
    For what?
    Hey, you have to pay Euro150 for update and upgrade yearly now!

    Who can understand me here?
    Who feels the same way?


    Once again, I moved to S 1 because i fount it:
    Faster, Smoother, NO crash till now, 5 licences for each account and no need dongle, and a lot more benefits!

    ^^^ there is post about what have been been asked vs what have been developed,https://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1071898#p1071898 so ... the target is the newbies now(in C11) ( but the unlimited tryout/trial versions from the sister site are nice, Halion etc. at least they be tested normally before any buying )

    I agree that they could have a discount for long time users, the longer you use it the cheaper it would be for you to upgrade, the discounts could go up to 50% if you have been using it for +10 years.
    On the other hand, there is no need to really update if you are satisfied with the old-er version.
    They also need to stay in business they are not doing this for charity but to make a profit and pay their employees.
    They do offer EDU, yearly summer and other discounts.

    That's right,
    Let's say you are comfort with the CB10,
    after couple of years cubase 12 comes up with new and really useful features,
    Now tell me how much you have to pay for the upgrade?
    Much more!

    Won't bother anymore updating Cubase with its tired GUI. Switched to Studio One 5.1, so much more fun and inspiring to work with!

    That is looking fantastic! What is your monitor resolution and scaling ?
    Would you mind sharing your color preferences, please ? :)

    ^^^ the actual track channel inserts in Cubase can be opened/closed by shortkeys so the main window has a bit cleaner look
    [​IMG]S1 always looked cheap(plastic) and messy so less pro to me (the default look of Cubase is very similar yepp, I'm talking about the after tweake state of it)

    Like modern trends, Cubase simplified some things too much, they should offer more GUI options so you could really customize it they way you want it.

    But you were happy with cubase for a long time, no? I have seen you posting on cubase threads, did you switch because of the expensive full version updates? Why can you not work in cubase 10 or 9? What inhibits you from getting good work done on older versions, its not like its a deal breaker, creative wise speaking? Just curious?

    For me S1 is Cubase for laptops (light on cpu, compressed UI, no dongle pain, no space waste, touch support, now live panel, HDPI, etc...) and they have very similar workflow. Also good for younger generations because much easier to setup and use.

    Mate,
    There is no DAW that i hate,
    I like them all, I have worked with Protools, I own Cubase 10 pro and also i have the upgrade code to 11 pro, Logic proX, Studio 1,
    I said my reasons that i makes me upset of steinberg,
    They really didn't add to Cb11 that worth euro100!
    Pitch-bend curve?
    Squasher?
    Dynamic eq? i have more than 10 dyn eq installed
    Scale assistant? (this one is funny stupid thing for upgrading cubase 11) they could add it on cubase sx 2 or 3 but not now after 20 years! i know what notes bass should play on different chords!
    You want to say that they put it for the beginners? ok, they can charge the beginners for that who use this feature not people like me!


    In my experience Studio 1 is Faster, Smoother, one of the most powerful features s 1 has is the Splitter :wink:, you'll get 5 licences on each account and no need dongle, In Cubase when you freez the track in fact you'll lock the track but in S1 hmmmm you have to see that bro:mates: ,and a lot more benefits!

    The fact is most of us having fear of changes, Did you tried any other DAW's? specially S1?
    If no i suggest everyone who have access to it just TRY it :guru:

    For me best Cubase 11 'features' you can't see, e.g. in this 11 version Metal support, and one that is and one barely visible is batch export worth 1000$.

    Improved pitch editing is also nice..

    I totally understand if there’s no value for you, I didn’t even think you hated it. But for someone there really is.:drunks:

    Forgot to add only DAW with Logic was compatible with Big Sur 11.0.1 from day one 12 Nov, not small thing for mac users.

    global tracks piano roll including is useful (especially out of scale/chord/non-chord note colorization) for counterpointing etc.
    [​IMG]oh, and you can delete notes by double-clicking on them (after ??? years) :D so getting closer to the FL PR functionality
