Clean install - now missing presets / sounds

Cubase
1

I undertook the bold and very time-consuming task of rebuilding my entire system.

Cubase 8 is up and running and all is well EXCEPT I no longer have any presets / sounds for the likes of HALionSE, Reverb impulse files etc etc. and also missing VSTi like PAdshop. I’ve been into Media Bay and rescanned everything and after much searching online I still have been totally unsuccessful in finding a fix that actually works.

I wonder as I installed the C8 upgrade whether I’m missing the content including some VSTi because it’s and upgrade rather than a full edition?

Hi,

Did you install the content from the installer, please? From which version did you upgrade?

I’ve been upgrading for many years. For this rebuild I installed using the Cubase_Pro_8_Update_Installer_win - the one I download when I first updated from 7.5. I then immediately updated that with cubase_8.0.30_update_win


What I wonder about is that this installer I downloaded back in Dec 2014 is 3.8Gb in size, but when I check the available download now it’s labelled as being 9.2Gb :question: :confused:

Then I would recommend to download and install the 9.3GB file, which definitely contains the whole content.

5

Doing that now. Curious that it’s more than twice the size of the one I previously downloaded? Anyway… let’s see.

Why does that seem curious?..this tells you that you’re actually missing over 5Gb of content which could be Halion sample libraries, GA SE sample libraries, Audio loops etc.

The 9Gb full installer always available in your MySteinberg is the one to use for a clean system. (Plus latest update)

Curious, because I did not know this:

But it’s not curious anymore. :sunglasses:

Hi and welcome,

This is probably completely different issue.

Check, the correct ASIO driver is selected, please, and make sure, the Buffer Size is high enough.

Also check you VST Connection > Outputs. If there are busses, try to remove the, and add a new one.

Just a heads up… Win10 is not supported yet. It sounds as if your audio device driver is not Win10 ready yet.

I recommend rolling back to Win 8 until Steinberg gives a green light for Win10 support.

Good luck!
