Steinberg cubase forum extra plugins11/5/2023 You honestly think it’s more likely a marketing ploy than for technical reasons? Some of them don’t even talk publicly about it - you have to read into depth to find this information. Also, there are MANY plugin manufacturer’s that upsample. I have only said that the only benefit I can see may possibly be that “ some plugins may sound better - others do not sound any different”. I have made no claim of better sounding recordings. However, at some point in the near future, I would certainly like to pick one, preferably Studio One, and stick with it for all the tasks at hand.You say I just dismiss Dan Lavry and you. I tend to yearn for the visual satisfaction and so far I can't seem to find it with Studio One, but nonetheless I do really really like both programs. I suppose I'm a visual person, so it's an issue for me. I really don't mind the overall dark/grey GUI, but it's the clip's appearance that slows me down. Midi and Audio Clips just look horrible (to me) and are painful to work with. That's pretty much the only thing that's stopping me from completely switching over to Studio One. Especially the CPU spike bug, but it did go away with 7.5, at least for me.Īs far as Studio One goes, I can't wait to see if version 3 will implement customizable GUI. The only version that was painful to deal with was Cubase 7. It's actually kinda ironic that since I've upgraded to Cubase 8, I haven't had a single crash (I do have very rare crashes in Studio One) I also didn't have any crashes in Cubase 7.5 either. I have no problems with stability as well. Perhaps, due to me running on a single monitor and Windows 8. I guess I'm one of the few people who doesn't have any issues with the new windowing system of Cubase 8. They are just compounding the problem by building new features on top of an archaic foundation. But what's the alternative? Limping along with a flawed window management scheme for the next 10 years? Steinberg just needs to suck it up and take the hit now, IMO. As a Product Manager, I have no doubt that it will be a tremendous amount of work to refactor the Cubase codebase to support modem window management features (particularly since it's unlikely that any of the current Cubase developers are familiar with the "legacy" code). I probably should have put "all" in quotes (as in "'All' Steinberg had to do was.". Take note I didn't say it 'was' unfair, only that it may be. My impression of that new bar at the top of the screen it that it's actually still the full MDI parent window there, but you just can't see the rest of it because it's being rendered transparent with Aero. It appears to me they went looking for ways to emulate SDI (Single Document Interface) visually without actually being SDI, and the result is what you see in Cubase 8 I guess. Cubase on Windows was built as MDI (Multiple Document Interface) and afaik, you can't just change that later, you have to redo it, which might be a near monumental job in something as old as Cubase. My uninformed impression (a.k.a guess) about all that is a little more complex. But they instead implemented this crazy, non-standard global menu in which the menu bar is embedded in the window title bar (in some lame attempt to make the PC version of Cubase behave similarly to the Mac version). All Steinberg had to do was copy the way windows are managed in Studio One. Music Maven wroteIt's freaking unbelievable. I am hoping that Studio One 3 adds basic score/notation features and a built-in arpeggiator (and maybe a drum editor as the icing on the cake) and I will be happy. And it's usually a plugin that was working fine the day before. I then go through this whole rigmarole trying to figure out which plugin is causing the issue. The program crashes every other time I launch it. Again, how could they not get this right?įinally, Cubase 8 is still buggy as hell. But they instead implemented this crazy, non-standard global menu in which the menu bar is embedded in the window title bar (in apparently some lame attempt to make the PC version of Cubase behave similarly to the Mac version).Īnd then there is the fact that Cubase 8 still doesn't support window docking (except for the Track Instruments and Media Bay windows). Steinberg had to get just one thing right with that release for me, namely better/usable window management on the PC. I finally pulled the trigger on Studio One after seeing what Steinberg did (or rather didn't do) with Cubase 8 Pro.
