Perhaps this will help in the meantime...

Extended Channel Freeze is also coming ... https://www.steinberg.net/cubase/release-notes/12/

I posted it for those of us who didn't get to see it live. 😉

Cubase 12 New Feature Walkthrough Live Stream (lots of useful info here):

Same here. It took just an hour to download, install and authorize. And I was pleasantly surprised at how well it works. Except for two minor issues with the Project Assistant and Melodyne/ARA, everything works 100%. This release was all about usability and you see these improvements everywhere. Most of them are fairly small, but they really add up. I hope SB continues along this path; versions 9.5-11 almost made me switch to Studio One.

Yes. I just installed C12 Pro (with the new licensing system) this afternnon and am still able to run C11 Pro via the dongle (on the same Win10 laptop).

C12. My point simply was that if you don't successfully activate C12 first, it won't show up in My product downloads.

I see mine *but* I don't think it showed up in the "My product downloads" tab until *after* the SDA succesfully accepted my Download Access and Activation Codes. Were you able to do those two things? If not, you probably should not expect to see it there.

Well in that case you are entitled to the free grace period update and SB will fix this for you.

I had a similar problem last year (when I tried to 'grace-period-update' C9 to C11) and the issue was that my copy of C9 had been updated to C10 *but* still remained in my account. SB told me that it should have been removed b/c it was used to upgrade to C10. And so I had to pay to upgrade to C11 (from C10). Could this be the cause of your problem?

A potential workaround suggested on the Cubase Forum is to "...copy the Synthengine.vst3 to the Cubase 12 VST3 folder..." Apparently this works for Mystic, Prologue and Specter, but not for LoopMash. https://forums.steinberg.net/t/cant-find-prologue-mystic-spector-in-cubase-12/769948/5

I watched a few of the 'Top N Reasons to Update Now' videos, but they largely replicated the information provided on Steinberg's website. The video below, in contrast, provides detailed information on many of the new and useful functions.

Too bad they don't offer one that offloads the processing of all your plugins (not just Waves)!

I honestly don't know, but I recall someone asking the same question this morning on the Cubase forum and I think the answer is 'no.' That is, you should be able to run both at the same time. I recall reading it here but really don't remember given that I've reached a state of information overload. https://forums.steinberg.net/t/cubase-12-out-now/769760/41

Which one? Honestly I seldom use SB plugs anymore (in part b/c of my visits to this site).

Not sure why they don't just use this (apparently it's unlimited):

Hmm, I didn't realize that (I assumed they were made by Steinberg). I guess "technical reasons" is a euphemism for licensing issues.

Okay. This may be the cause: https://forums.steinberg.net/t/cpr-sizes-go-crazy-500mb-for-simple-unmix-stems-project/160644/10

A very useful new feature I just discovered is the ability to create custom scripts for all your MIDI controllers.

But seriously, what is the problem? The grace period upgrade? Activation?

IKM is in a class all by themselves. 😀

Great video (and surprisingly useful piano). Had I not watched it I would likely not have even installed it because, like you, I thought who needs another felt piano?

This one seems a bit odd. They removed these plugins from the factory content but they still work in version 12. So why did they remove them?

I just skimmed the post you referenced. Is bouncing the ARA clip/track a viable option to reduce project size and decrease load time?
