Why is the option to disable the Cubase Hub gone from preferences? I really don’t want the hub dialog popping up every time I open Cubase.
Try this: In Preferences → General, the Deactivate Hub option has been replaced by a new Show News in Hub option. If you disable that, what is left of Hub is much the same content, though is a different format, as the Project Assistant that in previous versions of Cubase could be used instead of Hub.
thank you. should be on the website though, where it has been every update so far.
Have to agree regarding this. I loved the old ones (C12) faders, they could at least create fader options for different styles
Random CPU spikes every few minutes are still here. I can’t believe Steinberg cannot design an audio engine that ensures it has all the priority it needs.
Ableton can do it. Consistently. Why can’t Steinberg?
Yes, that is my main question as well. Is Cubase 13 ok on Mac OS 14 Sonoma?
13th yes , i have the i13900 and works great
Yup, same here on a Mac Studio max with 64 GB of RAM!
Hopefully this will get fixes as it looks very useful.
Dont know if it’s a setting from cubase 12 but I cant read the track name when it’s selected. it turns white like the Track name and the black background turns white on selection so not readable. Is this changable?
When you hover over the name it turns to black background and becomes readable.
Solution:
Found the setting in preferences Selection Brightness needs to be turned down.
Question for any Output Arcade users with Cubase/Nuendo - there was a documented bug with previous Cubase versions where the use of Arcade in a project would cause DAW text to go berserk and shift by one letter (Stereo Out would become Tufsfp Pvu)
Can anyone confirm whether this bug still persists in C13?
Many thanks in advance.
On startup the scan of the vst 3 folder needs 15 - 20 Minutes. Everytime. Anyone else has that problem?
Why on earth can’t I minimize the hub? So it’s either I see the hub or I quit Cubase? Is this some kind of joke? What did you do to the hub?? You call this upgrade? Oh right, let’s change the looks of our software make it more buggy, and sell it for 99 Eur. Sticking with Cubase 12 until hotfixes.
I don’t care about the new features. Add all the fanciest plugins in the world, the most incredible GUI, If my life is harder than with Cubase 12 in such simple stuff as the freaking control Hub I don’t want it
Is there any chance to send the license to my USB-License Dongle?
My whole workflow depends on a dongle solution. I use several older 32 Bit licences, Wavelab and the CPRO12 on different machines in different locations.
And tbh., it would sad to skip the 13 - it really looks promising!
I don´t need three activation - just one on a dongle and an option for that is necessary for me.
I’d suggest you start a new topic for this and tag it as a ‘Feature Request’ - your post will get lost in this giant thread…
FWIW - I do remember ages ago, for example, they took a while to get round to providing a Preference setting for users to choose whether to view the hub at all when first opening Cubase… Needed concentrated opinion from users, to get the change…
No, that is no longer possible. Since Cubase 12 and Wavelab 11.2 the Activation Manager is the new licensing system and that will be included in all software packages over time.
But this isn’t a “feauture request” This is something they messed up in this version that existed in the old one. I mean how can you possibly create a program that doesn’t MINIMIZE? It MUST be a bug there is no other logical explanation. Maybe start a new topic with “Cubase 13 BUGS” instead lol
Believe me, this is exactly how they will view it, C13 being a brand new release.
Yes, stuff gets broken, stuff gets changed from release to release… However, this has obviously been a ‘design’ choice on their part. It will be regarded internally as a change/enhancement of the current (new) implementation of the Cubase Hub.
I recall this is how it was handled last time (when they eventually added the ‘new’ user preference I described above).
Congrats to the Steinberg team for this release! While I’m disappointed (but not surprised) that ripple editing didn’t make it into this release this year once again, I’m still happy to see so much good effort put into workflow issues. Workflow is king IMO, and Steinberg spent some good resources on important workflow issues, so I have upgraded out of respect for that, not to mention it will help save time on projects.
The improvements to the video engine are also welcome, thank you for that.
However, the lack of ripple editing as well as the lack of improvements to expression maps are two areas that I really hope Steinberg will spend time on ASAP. It’s about time, Steinberg. These two features are becoming issues for me, personally. And I don’t want those issues to become dealbreakers for me, but I’m tired of using other DAWs for ripple editing (I’ve discussed ripple editing for years and years in other threads so I’ll leave it there), and now that Dorico is part of the Steinberg family, you guys really need to sit down together at a relaxing retreat in some beautiful resort town in the Bavarian Alps, and not leave until you have mapped out EXACTLY what you are going to do for expression maps.
We all know that Dorico is the future of the Cubase scoring and notation features, and both apps need to have a unified future-proof approach for expression maps. You guys need to SOLVE the articulation/expression map situation once and for all. Your brightest minds know what needs to be done deep in their hearts, and the accountants and marketing folks need to talk to Yamaha to get some extra funding if needed, so you can GET IT DONE and DO IT RIGHT. Yamaha has been an innovator for eons, and I hope you get them on board with money, and appeal to their sense of being a standard-bearer in the music industry to create a collaboration between the smartest people in your broad organization. Steinberg/Yamaha should lead the way on this with all its combined institutional knowledge on this topic. But so far… stagnation. So please solve this and bring Cubase into the future on expression maps, and don’t be shy to set the bar very high. Let’s do it! Come on, Steinberg!
And again, while you’re at it, don’t forget about ripple editing.
Other than that, congrats again on a solid workflow release!
Hi @Rune_Vestbo - welcome to the forums!
Which country are you purchasing from?
No-one should forget about, Dun - Dun - Daaaah… Ripple Editing.!
