backwoods Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) I'm picking they move to a cloud system like protools with ilok cloud or reason that used to use codemeter. Don't want subscription either. Edited March 4, 2021 by backwoods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Fowler Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 There's a post from the VSL account at the Pianoworld forums saying they're shifting from e-licenser to iLok (no dongle required), so I wouldn't read subscription into the changes. Maybe Steinberg just can't be bothered to make the dongles anymore ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 That dongle was the main reason I didn't switch to Cubase when Gibson shut Cakewalk down. Oh well, better late for them than never! Got a good deal on Studio One though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno de Souza Lino Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I don't trust statements from any company until I see the end result. Investors and money can change decisions at the last second. Plus it's Steinberg. The same company that has perfect software and all the issues are the users' fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Back in the day it was rare to see a dongle thread go by without some idiot making a stupid double entendre joke. I guess those days are over, especially as some of you are about to lose your dongle. And I agree that this is a welcome move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are still rocking upwards of seven dongles on a single pc. That's a ***** and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their DAW is one of the few tied to one machine unless you move the dongle. I have 3 USB elicensers. I wonder if the decision came from Yamaha who owns both Steinberg and eLicenser.

Rico Belled Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Too little too late. YEARS of punishing paying customers... no thank you. I started on Cubase on the Atari ST but I will never buy a piece of Steinberg software again. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Other than my initial outrage at having to pay extra to make the software that I had just paid quite a lot for actually work, it's never been a problem for me. (watch it go and break now) Its not even close to being the main problem with buying Steinberg IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... that and the fact that I fancied the look of a FaderPort and wanted the DAW with the best support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tightest support = Studio One /Reaper/Mixbus/Mixbus 32C OK Support = CbB, requires reset to SONAR/Cakewalk mode Weak Support (flakey) = ProTools 2020, works most of the time, but requires reset of device occasionally when in required HUI mode. I have not tried it in Cubase, Logic X, or Digital Performer yet. I won't even waste my time on Mixcraft 9 or Samplitude X5 as I never really use those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually went with Studio One when Sonar started to sink. Didn't know that Reaper/Mixbus had good support too; the workflow in SO suits me though so it's all good from my point of view.
