I’ve been using CB 6.5 for a few years now without too many problems.
Last year I thought it time to upgrade, so purchased and installed CB10. In spite of one or two plugins not working, I really tried to like it - It didn’t happen, and I went back to 6.5.
It’s recently occurred to me that my CB10 licence will apply to all earlier releases.
My question is:
Which version between 6.5 and 10 is considered the most stable and generally the best? Please don’t say 10 as that’s a no-go for me.
9.5 was really nice to me. once I upgraded to v10 the problems with plugins etc started showing up. It took a few updates in v10 to get back into the groove
If not C10 or C105. then C6.5 IMO. It’s really hard to compare except of stability issues. C7 was a giant leap. The following versions, even to this day some aspects are still addressing the C7 giant leap.
8 was the last version that did not have problems with the transport functions. I think the quality has dropped since that release, however I dont use it. Im now on 10.5.12. If was was doing it professionally I would probably use cubase 8.
I came back to Cubase Pro with 9.5. It had some problems that got resolved. I am on 10.5 now and have not had any trouble with it at all. This is on a Windows 10 machine and I believe it is, at the moment, the best OS for Cubase.
It should be said I didn’t have trouble with 10 either.
I’m really on my favorite version of Cubase 10.5.0 (I had trouble with 10.5.12) but the first version is very solid on my system. I think the feature set is the best of the ones I have tried. I was actually on Cubase 5 for years on an old windows XP machine. Finally a couple of years ago I upgraded to a Macbook Pro (mid-2015) and made the leap to C10 but I was not happy with it but 10.5.0 is great. I’ve been able to get colors I like, lots of nice features. Working solid here with an Apogee Ensemble and UAD Quad.
Thanks guys.
So, It seems that there is no general agreement on the best CB version
I’ll probably try CB8 and CB9 to see which version is stable, feels good to work with, and shows no plugin problems.
