I’m about to buy new MacBook Pro, but I’m addicted to Cubase 5 (at least 6.5).
I heard there is a lot of problems with running those apps on latest versions of MacBook?
For those, who gonna say “buy cubase 9” : I have it, but don’t really love it, for me it’s about fast work, so I really want to stay at v5 with new macbook… is it possible?
If you look up any professional Cubase user on YouTube you’ll see that pretty much all of them use Cubase Pro 8 or newer, for good reasons. If you want “fast work” then don’t waste your time trying to make this ancient version work and instead focus on adapting to and learning the current version, which is many times faster at anything you can think of, not to mention much less buggy.
Any version released more than 5 years ago will have additional bugs and issues running on newer OSes because of the changes made by Apple and Microsoft in each update, on top of looking extremely ugly because they weren’t made with your MacBook’s retina display in mind.
