Cubase 10 expectations, hopes, etc.?

Cubase

We should rename this thread:
“Things that have been complained about for years but have yet to be fixed”.

62

Agreed.

I’d pay 1000 Euro for Cubase 10 if they only completed the features half heartedly introduced… e.g. Folder Sync (does not work), Import from Song (all types and without media), Direct Offline Processing, VariAudio (be as good as Melodyne or just give us ARA 2 for Melodyne and forget it). Add track Dialog (give the option for the Input as well as the output)… etc I do NOT want to see a new synth or halion content or ANOTHER interface revamp (yawn) .

63

What was that mode they had where the screen just went black and you had to listen instead of look at what you’re doing.

Should bring that back :smiley:

64

‘busted monitor mode’ I think :slight_smile:

65

Being able to record another take on the same track whilst still being able to hear what’s being played on the track. Could do that in Sonar 1 in 2000.

66

Can’t see a use case in that in terms of audio ?!

67

Can we possibly make setting up Articulation Maps a little more confusing? I have often come dangerously close to understanding how to do it. Would be nice if we had to enter basically the same information 5 or 6 times, instead of only 3.

68

Ha - I never got there. Tried in real anger several times… real anger…

69

I hope they dont focus on VST transit. Thats dullll.

i would upgrade Cubase instantly to C10 if it had 3 new things:

1:/ VSTm plugins…ie ability to “plug in” different mixer algorithms. Not just the “vanilla” one it currently has. I want to be able to buy an “SSL VSTm” and have the mixdown algorithm change to sound like SSL and the mixer channel graphics to change accordingly to suit and look like an SSL mixer strip. I dont want to be doing this in a convoluted way with plugins and linking etc etc. It should be clean and neat and incorporated properly into the mixer section, not as a “Bolt-on” how it currently works with 3rd party options. Its a whole new potential market that Steinberg could open up.

2:/ Ability to move mixer channels left and right independently. Untied from track order how it currently is.

ie: Request: Drag Mixer channels around independantly from tracks - Cubase - Steinberg Forums

3:/ Ability to rename VST3 plugin names to what i want in the plugin manager. Simple and logical and reasonable request i would have thought.

Cheers!
Darren.

Sure.

  1. Record a guitar part
  2. Listen back -hear a segment which needs fixed
  3. Arm guitar track for recording new section
  4. Hit record

What happens?

  1. all audio on the guitar track is muted

Impact

  1. no context for dropping in your part

Workaround
1)Create a temp new track
2) Record onto another track (so you can hear the previous part) and then move the fixed part into the first track
3) Delete temporary track

Solution
In Sonar and other DAWs you can record onto any track and the DAW plays back any audio to avoiding the need for workarounds - bascially it works like midi

72

This is what punching in is for. Either use locators to choose a punch in section or hit play and then record when you hit the section you want to replace. This gives the musician context.


Your way the musician will be hearing the mistake as they play also.

73

There are some clever suggestions in this thread. However, I kind of gave up waiting for anything useful in new versions of Cubase. I even quit hoping they won’t worsen something (like they already did several times).

I guess it’s better to be content with what I have now and just concentrate on work. In fact, I still use 8.5 even as I own 9.5, mainly because I need to use video engine all the time, and new video engine won’t work under OSX Mavericks 10.9.5. And there are NO features in 9.5 for me which would make me want to upgrade my system.

74

Agree however the problem is no two takes are ever the same so so it can create audible artefacts where the join is. Ideally you’d want to cross fade them. In Sonar and other DAWs you just delete the offending section, hit record,play along. Hit stop, slip edit and cross fade to suit.

75

+1

76

What about Sample Accurate Automation?

77

All I want is consistency between the project and mixer view… Not different mouse clicks or key commands to achieve a common result…

78

I would pay again 540 Euros for a nice Ripple Edit Feature! :bulb:
(Wavelab has this since years)
