dave
can anyone explain this?
all my tracks on soundcloud have been rendered as .mp3 using wavelab LE8.0.2 build 675 - 64bit
with no upgrade patch
.mp3 was chosen from the encoded dropdown
the last one was uploaded on October 28 2014
so was rendered on that date

well what a crap piece of kit
even the manufacturers don’t know what it does and does not

I have paid and downloaded “Steinberg MP3 extension” which according to the list given above for compatability is supposed to work with my Cubase 6.5 but it still doesn’t.
When I click on the application it seems to run and a dialogue box briefly appears and then disappears. This happens whether or not I am logged into cubase. Has it been installed somewhere else?
There is no MP3 option on audio mixdown just the box at the bottom to upload to soundcloud.
I don’t have waveLab but nowhere does it say in the compatability list that I need wavelab if I have Cubase 6.5.
I would be grateful for any help provided.
Hello Mrmrholmes,
If you have installed Cubase 6.5 (the full version) you shouldn’t need the Mp3 patch because the ability to export in MPEG1 Layer 3 if already available to you under File>Export>Audio Mixdown Window>Format>select MPEG 1 Layer 3.
If you don’t see this option under File, then please go to www.steinberg.net and under Support/Downloads make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the Cubase 6.5.5
Why not just intsall itunes and convert your wav/aiff files to MP3 using that? That’s the way I do it - best of all it is free!
Had I known this I would have NOT paid for this upgrade. Have they fixed the 8LE MP3 issue yet?
Have they fixed this?>?? I cannot render to MP3. THis is crazY!
They said earlier in the thread it doesn’t work with LE8. I don’t see any mention of a fix. I would return it and get a refund.
Hey,
I am also having the same problem. Elements 8 and it says on the website that it is compatible Elements 8. I install it. It says the installation was successful but only leads me to there website to purchase it when i try to save as MP3.
Was this resolved?
So annoying 
EDIT: I figured it out, if you are having the same problem. You need the registration code sent in the receipt email from steinberg . Open the eLCC control center, select the “actions” dropdown, and “enter activation code”. Type in the code from your receipt email and it will load. Then it should work.
