I haven’t tried C6.5 yet, but have been closely following it’s release. Regarding comping in C6.5, it appears the established pre-C6.0 comping method - which only recently went away with C6 - has returned and is the default method again. Meanwhile, the different comping workflow introduced with C6.0.0 has been moved to a “comp” tool on the toolbar - and is now optional. So essentially, 6.5 lets users use either method - with the pre-C6 method default and the 6.0.0 technique now optional. Again, I haven’t tried it yet. But that’s what early adopters are reporting. And yes, from a user standpoint, I too feel this change should be part of the upcoming 6.0.6 free-to-existing-users update. I kind of expect it will be. Otherwise this may become a bit of a customer service faux pas for Steinberg, as some will feel that resurrecting the previously removed comping work flow in 6.5 - and even making it the default - is as close to a mea culpa as we get in the software biz.

> [@The dman](#): > > They stay right where they were. . The new take takes is brought to front but if you click it with the comp tool it deactivates it and all the previous comps are still there. The select tool no longer changes the take structure that’s encouraging. ---

> [@A.j.](#): > > I too hope this will be part of the 6.06 free-to-existing-users update. Looks like the ‘new’ comping won’t be in 6.06: 1. It’s not mentioned in the pre-release announcement of 6.06. 2. It’s prominently part of the ‘6.5 New Features’ document. And from Steinberg’s standpoint, the comping wasn’t broken in 6.0x; it just worked quite differently (and in a new fashion) from what users had gotten used to in previous versions. ---

I’m in 2 minds with this update. I don’t mind paying from say 6 to 7. but think intermdediate verions should be free. Saying that I was expecting Padshop to be a separate product (from the little I’d heard about it), so was thinking of getting it once it was released. So £40 isn’t too much, for something I will probably use quite a lot. So I bought a synth, got another free plus some updates to Cubase, I’m surprisingly happy!!! ---

I am also happy with this update. 2 VSTi and some FX and other things for only € 50. That’s a fair deal. So I got it right away and buying, downloading and installing worked as a charm right away for both the 32-bit as well as the 64-bit versions. Congrats to Steinberg for this nice update! ---

Almost two update, here it is as if you could sell a new sequencer ❓ I fear, we’ll have to pay the usual 199,- for the 6.5 to 7 update.

How much will I have to pay for the 6.5 to 7.0 update ?? For me there are only two ( more or less ) important improvements in 6.5.

I really wish a mod would clear up the lanes issue, whether the comping feature will be included in 6.06 or only in 6.5. It’s on a lot of peoples’ minds, and it would clarify things greatly. ---

Strange New Behavior ! When re-calling (sending the playback cursor) to a marker, using a shortcut or other method … it for some reason moves the loop? Both the left and right cycle end points locate to the marker point, too (thus, collapsing the loop…? ) SO, in essence, the loop that was previously set goes away completely… anytime a user is recalling a playback position using markers. I don’t ever remember this being the case before? Please change it back!!! If I wanted to change the cycle end points, I have “cycle markers” for that! Is this something I accidentally bumped on in my preferences somehow?? I need this fixed, it is destroying my workflow. Thanks! SW ---

First of all, thanks for the upgrade, I just purchased and successfully installed it. Haven’t treid all of the new features yet, but so far I can say I love the new Padshop! Now my problem: I am still getting a ‘freeze’ on exit and I have to force-shutdown Cubase when closing it. Anybody else still having this issue? Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks, Lars ---
