I actually do have some specific issues (and currently in touch with support, some have been solved, some not)
A series of graphic glitches, including flickering of plugins and pop-ups appearing in places outside of the working window as well and objects dragged with the mouse being in random places on the screen
File saved not opening (and having the need of re-opening in safe mode, save the file under a different name and then reopen)
Constant freezing while loading MACKIE CONTROL devices
It important to note that none of these issues happened on the previous versions.
I guess a forum is to find out solutions but also see if other users had similar problem. You might understand how frustrating it is to upgrade to a new version and feel like being used as a beta tester - I donāt see the point about complaining about people complaining. And if there is an area where someone can help, asking questions is always the best way to understand what a user is experiencing, no?
I do find it useful to see which issues other users have, being a more general description of their experience or a more detailed one.
I thought buying Logic Pro was cheaper than an M4 Max Studio and run some back to back tests. Logic Pro v Cubase Pro 14 on an M1 Max MacBook Pro.
Logic runs more simultaneous instances of Omnisphere and Diva until it locks up.
At idle there are no meter flickers and it distributes load accross cores equally.
So unsurprisingly Appleās own product runs on its chips better but itās about 25% better on my machine and the gui is smoother/snappier.
Iām not sure where I stand with Cubase on Mac and my instinct is now to build another PC DAW rather than get any deeper into Mac and Cubase because I think that Steinberg are more concerned with rushed development bells and whistles rather than developing a stable Mac product and Iām not prepared to drop $5k on another Mac to spend more time pissing around and not making music. My support ticket has been unanswered for 9 days.
Is more important what audio-card graphics card you use than how much ram and what CPU. . And what latencies you try to archive. Crashes should be sent to the vendor.
Good one, reaching Cubase support by phone with a two hour window on Central European Time (which changes on Thursdays) they donāt even answer support tickets via their own support hub.
Update from my side stopping Google Drive made an improvement and running the amended Dom Sigalis/Scan stress text rendered 110 tracks on my M1 MBP Max/16gb before stuttering.
I recently upgraded my Audio Device which is now also pluged into USB-C from USB2 in the past. I now have the Esi Amber #1 and in Reaper my Performance has become more stableā¦ I recently converted projects from Cubase to Reaper with the same VSTs used ā¦ and still Cubase has serious performance trouble.
In one Instance Cubase had over 90% of Performance Meter use with 2048 Samples and the Guard on High. While Reaper and Cubase 12 pro was running under 10% on the peak in the track.
I mean what the zoinc is going on. I want to use Cubase on my Windows 11 PC but this is unacceptable. I payed a shitload of money and also paid some experts to get a hint on the issue they all told me ā¦ better you use not Cubase because its a performance hell. Is this the moment when i seriously should consider to get rid of Cubase ?
I asking the developers when you get this problem resolved? Reaper, Ableton Live 12.2 Suite, Dorico Pro and Cubase 12 pro running greatā¦ Cubase 13 and 14 pro are a mess.. when you guys start to fix and overhaul this entire engine?
Also going back to Windows 10 is not an option when the Support for Windows 10 is officially dead and only Windows 11 is acceptable.
i donāt find words honestly for the state of Cubase as well as for the ignorance of Steinberg to get this Engine Working that they have introduced inside of Cubase 13 and 14.. I have no doubts its the interface in times when Graphics can be run on a 5000 Nvidia Card with no effort.
Today i tried out NV Clean Install for Nvidia Drivers. Since my 5060 ti comes with a shitload of functions i tried out NvCleanInstall to get a cleaner installation of Nvidia.
Interestingly this had some impacts on the Performance Meter of Cubase 14.0.32 Pro.

Doing the default express Installation which installs Shadow Play, Telemtry Data as well as NVApp stuff which is default installation Method this might be part of the problem.
Installing only these Components leads to some issues with Nvidia App and full feature driver functionality however in my case it has reduced the Performance Meter Peaks and Instability by over 50%!!!
This could also mean that the GUI of Cubase Pro 13 and 14 is the cause of the issue. Maybe thats the reason why Cubase 12 Pro runs smooth.
