10.0.40 Update

ARA without fades is completely useful… If you need to do some editing, you get some random clicks…

Looks like they are saving that fix for the 10.5 paid upgrade. Unfortunately this is common practice.

Bummer… none of theses were fixed:

• Comping: ARA 2 activated on events on lanes (comping) can cause Cubase to freeze. Render the tracks first, then use ARA 2

• Fades and gain on events: Fades and gain changes on events having ARA 2 activated will not be processed by the ARA 2 plug-in. Render the tracks first, then use ARA 2

I guess real ARA 2 integration will be a loooong way

The update seems to install a version of the eLicenser that’s too old. You only notice this if you open eLCC and try to do a maintenance. I had to update the version 6.11.7.1254 with a manually downloaded version 6.11.8.9256

I really wish the Steinberg product installers would first check the currently installed version, and only install newer versions!

Yes, I got that also. Minor annoyance, but could have been easily avoided with a little double-checking.

Happened to me as well.

They could surprise us with a v10.0.50 - ahead of the next big 10.5 release… maybe…

It’s worrying that the eLicenser software installed by 10.0.40 is out of date. I’ve had to download the latest version and install it.

A bad mistake Steinberg.

Still no fix for broken Sampler Track file location after Backup Project

https://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=286&t=165711

Well, i don’t expect much these days from Steinberg regarding this kind of issue, could be a year a way! Alongside paid upgrade…

Yea, that’s a huge bug. I lost all samples that was used with Sampler Tracks in a project because of that… Cubase tries to open the samples from OLD folders which I had deleted after backing up the project. It is the same in 9.5. Cubase 10 demo expired before I had the time to test it so thanks for the confirmation.

I wonder if the DOP bug where original files are sometimes overwritten and UNDO won’t work exists in Cubase 10 still…?

I have downloaded and installed the LATEST e-lic software AHEAD of this CB update - will updating now ‘undo’ this and push me back to an out-of-date e-lic version?

That’s what happened to me, so yes - you’ll see it install as you update. Poor show from Steinberg.

After installing the 10.0.40 update I can’t get any audio or even any audio activity from Cubase. I even tried 9.5 but also there. I see no audio activity at all in Cubase and no sound coming out of the system. I do get audio when I use another app and from webpages. I have a UR12 and reinstalled the yamaha driver and checked all the settings in Cubase but I cannot see any problem. The UR12 is the only active sound card. The only weird behaviour I see when I open a file is that the screen: loading vst mixer is flashing like crazy, which it never did before.

Cubase is knuf up but cannot find the cause. Please reply quick!

after reinstalling Cubase from a freshly downloaded file, still no result. Windows settings were all good. Then I started looking at the files I used. I used mostly Symphonic Orchestra and I could not play any of the samples.
Turns out that the update destroyed the file with the locations settings for Symphonic Orchestra. After relocating them and a restart of Cubase everything works again.
Very sloppy update. Not amused.

Well that’s a shame.

With regard to the wrong elicenser version, I did this (you need winrar installed on your system):

• right click on “Cubase_10.0.40_Update_win.exe”
• select ‘Open with winrar’
• Navigate to ‘Cubase 10 Update\Additional Content\Copy Protection Driver’ folder
• replace ‘eLicenserControlSetup.exe’ with latest version (6.11.8.9256)
• Close winrar and update Cubase without elicenser problem

As I reported in a different topic…
I also updated to the latest eLCC software (v6.11.8.9256) prior to updating to 10.0.40. The CB update did not change the eLCC to a previous version. Weird.

no, this would be extremely bad practice, false advertising - if it were true.
Steinberg announced ARA for C10, not some crippled lookalike.

Yeah it’s a bigger shame as it came so late in the C10 life cycle too (Presuming C10.5 hits when we expect)… And was a big part of many users upgrading.

I’d like to think that maybe if enough people made a stink they would offer good pricing on the upgrade to C10.5… Me personally, i can’t see myself jumping on C10.5 straight away based on the long dev time for C10… But we’ll see what it offers before jumping too many conclusions… But yeah, they need to think about the effect this has on people’s mindsets of upgrading on day one or not.

Yeah that really is strange, did you not get any kind of install notification for eLCC when upgrading to 10.0.40? I updated within an hour or two of the update going up, so perhaps it’s something they’ve since fixed?

I did not notice any kind of eLCC installation notification during this update. I estimate that I downloaded/installed the CB update maybe 6 hours or so after the release.

I have complained numerous times to Steinberg about the eLCC getting “downgraded” to an older version during CB updates. I was told that the CB installer checks for a newer version of the eLCC and it will install it. For me, that was not the case until about a year ago when my eLCC version stopped being downgraded. Who knows… Steinberg should review for sure.

About the eLicenser issue: I saw during the installation of the update installer on my 10.0.30 system / Windows 10 Pro / 1903 (without the latest feature KB) that eLicenser software was installed/updated, which surprised me. As usually, I started the eLicencer control center after the update and it threw a couple of errors about too old / outdated files and components. Then I downloaded the latest eLicenser installer from Steinberg and installed it and after that the control center opened with no errors. Also CB 10.0.40 opened without any problems.

Anyways, not very professional and a bit concerning. Should not happen…
