I don’t mind it taking long. I’d just love some teasers or snippets of what they are working on. The drought has been so loooong. I can’t handle it anymore! haha.
And now the longer we wait, the higher my expectations are. Probably will be let down.
I feel like Cubase is really struggling more and more with new updates, probably because the program is very bloated now. They have to keep updates backwards compatible with older versions and such.
If you look at Dorico, which is a completely new product, you can notice the difference so much.
So my hope is that they are really taking their time with C13 to make it very polished and clean again.

You’d imagine that VST3 will be dropped from C13, I don’t know if they’ll start taking out the old Generic remote stuff too? But yes, they certainly need to get it leaner for future updates, agree there.
But those kind of changes will upset a few, even despite the warnings.
Personally, C12 still feels new to me and I’m not craving a new version, but I’ve found myself to be getting on with producing music rather than procrastinating which helps a lot.
Last year was awful for me, when we had some really silly bugs creeping in I started using different DAWs and comparing, and that’s a really slippery slope to go down.

I still need VST2 for UAD plugins. I would just continue to use C12.
I thought they had VST3 support now?
Only the plugins the converted to native.
I believe eventually they’ll convert all of their plugins to non-dsp versions. It’ll just take a long while.

Exactly, only select plugins. I can see UA come out with new hardware that supports VST3 but that is just a guess. Then, who knows, maybe VST4 will be out.
tomorrow its Wednesday Sooo… (whatever )))
Well August 9th is my birthday ( and, more importantly, a Wednesday ) so, Steinberg has a little less than a week to wrap and put a bow on my gift.

Hopefully… but I think that Steinberg has to offer another 12.0.80 update beforehand, which they consider to be a major update, that seemed to me to understand… although perhaps they will jump directly to 13 since they have missed 12 in almost all updates
greetings
They usually do one final update to the previous version after the next major version releases, is that what you mean?
12.0.8 won’t come out before 13.0, though, that’s already been confirmed here:
Although, reading that again suggests that 12.0.8 won’t come out regardless, if so that’s a break from the norm.

Thanks for the clarification…
It would be fantastic to have Cubase 13 in August, but something tells me that they won’t release it until September, I don’t know if Steinberg has made any release in August, every Wednesday I look to see if the bell rings and they deliver it to us, but other times the Web warns that it’s on the way… I don’t know, we’ll see
greetings
Think it’ll be around November personally, I don’t think we’re anywhere near C13. But people can enjoy the fun guessing, of course!

As almost all of us wait for September, October… so if they release it in August they will catch us by surprise… it would be fantastic 
Oh I cant wait.
2 weeks after they release 13, half of this forum is going to start whining ‘WHEN IS 14?? I NEED THIS TO DO MY JOB!!’ Probably still haven’t even learned or used 1/4 of the first version they paid for…

Just out of curiosity, what is it you think we are waiting for?
I won’t be losing too much sleep until I know what is in the next release. It has been a long time since any new DAW release made a real difference in my life. But I usually upgrade: a) to support the company, and b) because there are usually a few things that make my life a little easier at the margins.

Two big things I’m hoping to see:
- Better expression maps - working with expression maps takes up too much vertical space. In Dorico and in other DAW’s the interface is much more compact.
- Different framework - I’m hoping to see Cubase/Nuendo move to Qt for better integration and code sharing with other Steinberg products based on Qt, such as Dorico, as well as being able to benefit from enhancements made by the framework developers. A framework change of course would be a huge amount of work just to get the software back to where it already was, so I’m not holding my breath for this one…

Steinberg have been all around done pretty decent in communicating. Or does this have more to do with just wanting a new Cubase update just because.
Exactly this was done with WaveLab some years back … it was re-written for Qt. Between major versions, it became almost a new application and was almost universally greeted with approval, but there was a significant learning curve. That however, was balanced by enormous workflow improvements and new features, which in the end kept most people happy and accepting of the change.
Will we see such a transformation any time soon? Hard to say, but it would make it easier to port Cubendo to Linux 
Are we there yet?
