Hi there I’m thinking about bying a new Mac Mini with M1 processor and apple OS 11. Will Cubase 11 run on that ?

I found a Steinberg statement that said: “ While many of our products are compatible with macOS Big Sur on Intel-based systems, please note that we cannot recommend using Apple Silicon-based systems for the time being until we have completed our tests or released updates to make our software and ha…

Aloha guys, IMHO In the short term users will probably have to run Cubase thru ‘Rosetta 2’ (translation layer) thus taking a slight performance hit. (For users working with REALLY BIG projects. this could be a MAJOR prob but for casual/average users, probably not so much). Don’t forget, Mac C…

I think the tricky thing with rosetta is to get the dongle things working. And even if the performance people get with the new M1 and rosetta it’s big chance that real-time might suffer more that other part of the translations.

I have a Mac mini- intel version running Big Sur. The only issue that I’ve had is that Groove Agent has graphical issues and doesn’t display properly.

Aloha Doingmybest, Sounds like that’s an issue because you are using Big Sur with Cubase version 10.x (This graphics issue might be fixed by you upgrading to C11). This thread is about running C11 using the latest Mac silicon ‘puters. {’-'}

Aloha C. Your points are so very true. Especially ‘real time’. To me that is where the rubber meets the road. That being said, we did get thru this the last time, so here is hoping that it won’t be so bad this time. And may it be even a lil better/smoother and faster this time. {‘-’}

On Pro Tools Experts, they discovered that you can’t use 2 different monitors with the M1 laptops. It only permits one extended desktop on top of the laptop display. Not a problem with the Mini since it has an HDMI output, something the laptops don’t have. I know that a lot of Cubase users like to h…

I 've got Cubase pro 8.5 running on a Mac Mini with the M1-chip. It runs smooth (on Rosetta). No problem with the dongle. Only the graphics in the startup screen aren’t good. But when Cubase runs all looks en works fine.

How about any 3rd party plugins?

FabFilter is now supporting Apple Silicon natively on all products and formats. Steinberg can not even make it clear if they are going to do it, and possible when. Not even when it might be working with a apple rosetta translator or when we can have a beta to help them out.

Hi, I upgraded to C11 the same weekend that I upgraded to Sur… I haven’t changed my signature yet.
Point taken about the thread though.
