Anyone know when we can expect the first patch for 7.5 ? Its so much more CPU intensive than 7.06. Im maxed out on vst performance with Buffer @ 2000 and something. Ridiculous!

I use Neundo, but if you are using VST instruments try Freezing them on in the Vst Instruments window - this should bring the Performance readings right down. Also, if you want to use asio-guard make sure that the plugins have their asio-guard column checked on the plugin information screen.

What makes the whole trouble shooting difficult, is that on my DAW 7.5 runs a lot smoother than 7.0. I don’t have ASIO spikes and I can even run most of my projects (mostly around 60 tracks) at 32 buffers. But when it comes to vsti a few instances of PLAY can max out the ASIO meter on 7.5 but not on 7.0.

Hi all, I just posted this as an announcement here: [image] Cubase / Cubase Artist 7.5.10 maint. update in the works Dear Cubase / Cubase Artist 7.5 users, The 7.5.10 maintenance update for Cubase 7.5 / Cubase Artist 7.5 will be available from February 6, 2014 on as a free download and includes the following improvements: Global • The loading time of huge... The 7.5.10 update will be available from February 6, 2014 on! Best, Helge

Thanks Helge - that’s great news. As a relative newcomer to Cubase I’ve been really impressed at the rate of point releases - excellent stuff. Out of curiosity why 7.5.10 and not 7.5.1?

Where you say: The first maintenance update for Cubase 7.5 / Cubase Artist 7.5 will resolve several issues Does this mean if I have 7.5, I will get ongoing maintenance fixes for Windows 8, or will 7.0.7 be enough?

I’m a professional Audio Engineer, electronic music producer and Cubase 7.5 is rock solid. My projets on average have 8 plugins including 8-16 halion sounds, Triebwerk, Hypnotic Dance, NI The Finger, Funk Guitarist, many vocal tracks including comp takes and new versions. Up to 5 FX channels and 3 group tracks. My performance meter is always below 50%. I run low on RAM before maxing out cubase. Some sounds will increase the performance meter NI products can do that. I’ve learned to manage my resources with my current MBP until I get another one. 7.5 runs like a dream for me and I find the GUI very professional looking. They did an amazing job. No issues. The upcoming update will improve many things sounds good didn’t expect it so soon. BTW once I tried 7.5 I’ve never used C7 and the same goes for 6.5… For those that are having performance issues I would be curious to see their SIG… And their production technique… Because I consider all electronic music to simply be RnB on steroids. Especially Dub Step. Which is RnB ballad really.

Excellent news, Helge. Your point releases and communications of them have been exemplary. (Looking forward to this one: “- No more excessive Project loading times”!)

No information about fixes for 7.0.7 though.

Many thanks Helge. Great announcement. However I miss one “bug”. The mushrooming .cpr file sizes! I have between 2x to 3x increase in file size, when saved from 7.5 (I have read that other people have seen up to 10x increases). The strange thing is that when the file that was saved in 7.5 is re-saved in 7.0.6, the file size returns to the original!?! Go figure. Has this been looked at?

I think I’m going to go mad as a mad thing, if the gridlines for AudioWarp/FreeWarp (Sample Editor) aren’t back in this update… [image] Steinberg Forums A place to discuss and assist with Steinberg products and services.

@ Sycophant

The 7.07 Update comes out first! I believe you’re in the wrong thread.
