nice gfx, I like it. but the world wide web is not the sole or whole repository of human knowledge and no one can quantify the signal to noise ratio involved, especially since many sources are poisioned or diluted or outright fraud to manipulate the users for everything from political reason to money to shits and grins from pyscho boys locked up in their rooms (neets).

so it would be grand to think we had a world wide fountain of free and correct knowledge, its more like a watering hole being contiously used as a bathroom by elephants.

 

The comment about VC was also about Native Instruments. If you pay any attention to their products versions and builds; you know they are only quickly flying through Kontakt version changes and not every product. Some of biggest changes they make is the minimum version number requirements for newly released libraries.

So instead of stating the obvious, that Steinberg do not want their protection driving away potential customers like it has for years; show some reasonable proof why you think VC investment is causing more rapid build number releases. How many new programmers have they hired with the investors money? How about a comparison between the number of changes in the actual change logs showing these fixes are what have increased due to "VC" ?

Show proof it is because of new VC money. That is nothing but a tired platitude.

 

I'm already looking forward to the Nuendo update! The new gain staging alone makes an update worthwhile for me.

Personally, I have nothing against these major updates every year. After all, I get them for free.
What would annoy me as a paying customer, however, is that I'm forced to pay regularly for updates so that bugs can be fixed. If I buy version X.0, all the features it contains must work perfectly! If they don't, the updates must be free until everything works as promised.

Basically, these annual major updates are nothing more than a subscription model in disguise.

If I may correct this: An update of Cubendo / SpectraLayers / Wavelab etc. does not overwrite the Silk emulator! You only need to worry about the R2R emulator again when there is an update for it.
Important: To install Cubendo, the Activation Manager and the Library Manager must be installed. (Only applies to direct downloads from the Steinberg website.) Both programs can be uninstalled after the installation/update.

Are you installing Cubase for the first time? Or did you upgrade from Cubase 13 to 14?
Either way: If Cubendo gets stuck when scanning the plug-ins, there is probably a problem with one of the plug-ins. Have you ever started Cubase with plug-ins disabled? Then you can test whether the problem is with a plug-in or something else.
