MusicMan 452 Posted April 13 Will be interesting to see how the performance improvements go. Freezing and unfreezing multiple tracks is a nice touch too. And finally, the trials are available and no dongle/eLicenser 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reid Rosefelt 2,802 Posted April 13 Is it safe for me to upgrade yet? I might just wait for the sale, whenever that comes. The more updates the better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
locrian 697 Posted April 13 Judging by the release notes, this seems to be a fairly substantive update. And it came just five weeks after C12.0. That's very encouraging (but I'm not going to get my hopes up just yet). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoveCamper 330 Posted April 13 Bought the upgrade, just have not activated yet. I'm letting as much of the smoke to clear as possible ! 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's safe (!) but I'm staying on V11 for the time being - there's not quite enough in it to risk the bugs at the moment - e.g. there is still an ASIO bug that crept in that SB say they haven't fixed. Plus I like using Waves tune and that works best with Rewire...which C12 has removed........sigh PS Reid - for some reason you don't post your YT videos here but just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying them.. Technically they seem to get better and better as you get into your stride plus I think your really finding your feet with the presentation too 👏👏👏 (and I'm very hard to please!). I always look forward to you releasing them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reid Rosefelt 2,802 Posted April 13 (edited) Yes, it includes Dolby Atmos, so you can make binaural mixes with it. I paid $$$ for Dear Reality's dearVR Music, which isn't as powerful. This is a very useful feature, particularly for guys like me who don't have such great hearing. You can make very interesting mixes with this, as long as people are willing to put on headphones to listen to them.

I'm still on 10 Artist. I'm just letting all the problems when 12 first came out to disappear. I'm not as nice as Larry is! 🤪 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always look forward to you releasing them. Yeah, I wish I could. I think the majority of the people here have no objection to me doing so. But one or two people take great exception to having me putting my videos here because they are not deals and this is a deals forum. Maybe you missed that controversy, but it was getting uncomfortable. Still, a lot of the listings on this forum have absolutely nothing to do with Deals. They are just useful information for the community--like this one for example. A Cubase update is not a deal. But it's not worth getting into a fight. I put enough of my videos up here so that if somebody like you is interested, you'll just subscribe. And everybody helped me so much here with my technical issues. That's the beauty of this forum. But I had reached the point where I didn't want any more advice when the complaining started. Even though they aren't music videos, it's still useful to have a bit of music software chops. I put up one yesterday on Werner Herzog and got a copyright call on some of the Popul Vuh music. So I went to Cubase and improvised some stuff with The Orchestra Complete for a few minutes. It filled the spots reasonably well, and my video got up quickly with no copyright problems. Other people couldn't do that. They'd have to search for a long time through library music, but I knew exactly what I wanted. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PavlovsCat 1,568 Posted April 13 (edited) Be careful, @Reid Rosefelt, before you know it someone will complain that this thread doesn't belong in the deals forum (plus it's for a Cakewalk competitor). It's so ridiculous. Like most of us, I enjoy the camaraderie here. On another note, I think I'm in the minority, as I use Cakewalk and I really think Bandlab is doing a good job with it. Even if they were charging, I'd be happy with the software. Edited April 13 by PavlovsCat 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoyed the Herzog one, especially the Fitzcarraldo/Burden of Dreams bit- and I'm also enjoying how you are trying different techniques in the videos as you progress. And yes, cubase updates isn't a deal at all - but do I care ? nope 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbognar 143 Posted April 13 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." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbognar 143 Posted April 14 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I considered the implications of mentioning other DAWS here, and I overode myself because I equally like Cakewalk and Cubase for what they do. Hey thanks for the info. I have already been a serious Guiney pig here. What's another update going to hurt? (famous last words). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
