Cubase 10.5 Feedback Survey

Some last notes:

There will be a final Cubase 10 maintenance update as well. The release date is not set yet.

If you are still Windows 7, please be aware that Cubase 10.5 only supports Windows 10 (versions 1809 and 1903) as communicated in summer.

Improving the situation on HiDPI screens on Windows has a high priority at Steinberg. Unfortunately there are no perceivable improvements for the users in 10.5 yet.

How do you purchase it? Is is not showing up in the Steinberg Shop.

Regards :sunglasses:

3

When will there be a demo, for me to see if it still works on win7 ;-o

4

Still not in the shop but buying possible through various other pages that mention it for me…

5

Is it possible to save Folder Track presets rather than be limited to importing folder tracks from other projects?

6

Going to pass on this… this should have been a free upgrade !

7

For those who can´t find it, it´s available thru download assistant

8

Also hope that this is possible/ will be possible in a free update. Seems so backward the way it is implemented now.

OMG!!!

Snap On and Snap Off - I’ve been asking for this for years. Upgrading just for this… I’ve sure I’ll discover more :wink:

Thanks you Steinberg :slight_smile:

10

Has the issue of mouse fader movement in the mix console been fixed in 10.5??

11

Yes and the Import from project feature enhanced. Worth the upgrade for me if it works as promised

12

I know its not supported but will it install on win 7 or 8.1

13

Yay! I suspected it would be out around this time. It seems like a good practical update. I suggested the import from projects feature on the forums a long time ago. When you’re working on an album with a band or a singer or similar live instruments in each song, a lot of time is wasted saving presets and loading them back in. Recently in Cubase 10 even over the last 3 weeks I have been working on an album where I could have used that. I’ve been relying on Save Mixer Channels but that doesn’t work for Instrument Tracks. I’m hoping this works for Instrument tracks also. Keen to try it out.

14

Works fine on W7/64bit

15

I guess a gapless audio engine is unlikely to happen, despite being on the recent survey. As far as I know, Cubase is the only DAW that doesn’t now have this now.

16

I had a quick look at the manual and there’s no mention of Folders under the Track Presets section, only in the “Import Tracks from Project”

17

Thank you. :wink:

Regards :sunglasses:

18

How is this different from the Snap On/Off command we already had? Separate ones?

19

Both the gapless audio engine and muti-track warping are pretty highly requested/voted. Maybe they were harder to implement, or maybe they are saving them for Cubase 11. Historically speaking, .5 updates have not been too mind blowing but I think the Comp Tool came in 6.5 and that was mind blowing at the time.

I don’t see any mention of it in the highlights, in the new features section of the manual, or in the notes above.
