Yeah, I’m not even sure what you’re talking about here, but it has nothing to do with the issue I was addressing. If you’d truly like to understand, I recommend you start here and here.
I guess I just care more about the security of the assets on my workstation than most people; that’s what this is about. I simply would like Steinberg to make hijacking workstation security an option for those of us who do care about security. I completely understand WHY they did it, I just don’t understand why it was forced on everyone. No other DAW does this, and they all handle tracking just fine.
I had to do nothing to run Cubase 12 on my system when I first installed it. Are you running on a PC?
