Of course OP "forgot" to add the proper product link. 🤣

If I had to guess, the larger outside frame is the Cubase graphics container which allows it to be the same for both Mac and Windows

 

This is nice:

"With the release of 12.0.10, we also made the Cubase Pro 12 trial available. The big news is that the trial doesn’t require the USB eLicenser anymore. Hence, there is no more reason not to try Cubase."

 

Off topic...  I'm a bit of a synth vsti snob.  I'm easily bored with subtractive synthesis with just the 3 basic waveforms.  But when I listen to some of the programs which come with the u-He Tyrell N6, I'm blown away by what people are able to come up with, using what seems like a very finite set of components.  It's all about programming.

I did that today until I had to go back to the kitchen and finish up a project I started.  But I will be using it more now that I remembered I have it. 

Example: Alright Now by Free. Paul K is doing something other than what I have seen everybody do. Everybody seems to play the D chord with the added little finger note (G). That's not what he is doing. I  was able to slow it down, keeping in pitch, and just play the section I was working on really easy.  Now I almost have it the way he's doing it!!

Very useful tool. I wanna tackle "Ten Years Gone" by Zep.

Short, sweet and accurate:

Were you running a portable install off the SD cards or was it just your projects and media on there?

Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows.

Until it wasn't... 🤣

Yes, I remember thinking it was weird when it was originally announced.  How would they be able to compete with Mac OS and all their goofy names?

I just happened on this thread.  I enjoyed the first Madonna video, but after reading the first page of comments, I'm thinking - "Did I miss something?  I didn't see anything about making Madonna laugh".  So I rolled through all 5 pages and finally saw this most recent video.  

I really enjoyed it, but what I'd really like to hear about is the first time you showed Madonna Band-in-a-Box.

Yepper. As in the case of Muskrat Love, Never Been Any Reason by Head East with that epic synth lead, Frankenstein by Edgar Winter, Rush, Beatles, and on and on. 

Edgar Winter destroying with the 2600.

Part of the problem is many create a production and a vibe and then try to twist it into a "song".

Either way should work...if you register now, you should automatically get 12 when released,
or you can wait until it's released and register and get it right away.

Thanks, you know I should probably register.  I don't want to miss out on a crossgrade from Mixcraft to Cubase Pro 12 for $189.  🙂

I posted this in another thread, but...

I've got an unregistered boxed competitive crossgrade to Cubase Pro 10.  Do I have the luxury of waiting to see what's in version 12 before I register or should I register now, get 11 on my e-Licenser and then get 12 for free when it is available.

Sorry, I'm confused.

Please remind / reassure me again...

I've got a boxed unregistered crossgrade to Cubase Pro 10 (with a USB e-Licenser) .  If I register it once v12 is available, am I entitled to 12 Pro?

Or is there any reason I should be registering ahead of time?

Waiting for the day of strings... G-strings

must... resist... witty G-****  reply...

For the sake of SB's market share (especially with Studio One), they'd better have at least one major OMG feature or UI overhaul.  I can't see them getting by with an underwhelming release.  Of course, they probably harvested a bunch of version 11 upgrades with the carrot of a "free" version 12 upgrade.

Once you use this for a bit, you'll want to kick yourself for not buying it sooner.  I haven't even come close to mastering it, but it has resulted in me being able to come up with tunes I would never have been able to previously.

I gotta try reaper. Starting to really worry about cubase. 

Given the delay of 11.5 / 12 and the DAW landscape, I'm expecting something really spectacular.  There is already something of a "dump Cubase movement".  It's theirs to lose.

link please...? I can only see "Download 4 free..." or "Free to use 4ever..."  

My mistake - that was for the iPad version

I think on the Dorico page it says if you create an account, you can have 4.

Ok, I have to wonder if Cubase 12 is going to inherit any of the UI characteristics of Dorico 4 - it's so clean looking.    Also, it would be great if they put Dorico SE into Cubase.

A DAW is like a spouse - you aren't just marrying them - It's also their family.

Cakewalk and REAPER have nice families.

If I ever activate Cubase or get S1, I have my concerns about the community and the company.

I just bought a vintage Tascam 4 Track on FB marketplace to replace the one I used decades ago that died. I've been transferring my old masters in to my DAW and having a blast. I also have a Tascam 8 Track but it only has 4 outputs. Honestly, the 4 track sounds better. Must be the tape speed because it is normal speed while the 8 track is double which may be why the tapes make a warbling sound over time as well. I don't know. 

This was back when I got my 4 Track on Facebook marketplace.

What a great idea - my nearly 40 year-old PortaStudio II is in the basement along with my original cassettes.  It would be a blast to go through that old stuff.

I'm only interested because it will be the maiden voyage for the new Steinberg Licensing system and depending on how it goes, it could determine how quickly Cubase 12 will be released.

Check out Caustic and Cubasis.  Walkband would be nice if you could have more control over sequence sizing and looping.  It's one of the only non-Apple DAWs which has smart instruments with chord strips.  Chordbot is nice too.
