+1 I have two PC systems, one that runs Cubase and Wavelab and another system running Nuendo and Pro Tools. To date I’ve not had any crashing issues that were Cubase related since V5, and none on the new C7. My Mac is another story as are bugs related to new/lost functionality. Both PC’s were purpose built for audio production.
Having been with Steinberg for a number of years, it seems the only potential value I may get from paying for the updates these days is to help ensure they’ve got enough money coming in to resource fixing the inevitable bug backlog. History proves a wait of 6-12 months is required before a stable(ish) version is available!!
Tonight other graphic problems with Cubase 7.0.1 and OSX 10.7.5 some ghost traks appears ahahahah, I dont want to be boring again, but…
I’m a professional musician and I like to use Cubase for my Job not for fun. I dont have that kind of graphical problems with cubase 6.5.3, there are others of course not fixed yet on the 6.5.4 still in prerelease, now cubase 6.5 users don’t have a very stable cubase yet, and Cubase 7 user have a a beta version software maybe with some fix in the end of year? When steinberg will ask other 100euro for upgrade to 7.5? What i feel? I think Cubase users are at now the new Nuendo Beta testers and Steinberg asking us money to be these betatesters. I will be happy to continue to be Beta tester but please give me the application for free.
I’m using PC. I find the new mixer unusable. In many parts I am unable to read the text. Other parts have legible text but the color (black text on dark background) make it difficult to read. Other applications (including older versions of Cubase are OK). I simply can’t use C7 in current form. The interface design is lacking and really needs professional input to achieve something that is more broadly acceptable. Very sad…
Coming from 6.5.3 that was rock solid, I updated to 7.0 at day one and never had a freeze or crash…ever… Of course a lot of bugs and minor problems but nothing that prevented me from working as usual. 7.0.1 improved a lot of annoying issues and still is solid.
So I wonder what is happenning with you guys who get an unstable and rather unusable cubase. Could this be hardware related? Or perhaps something messed up with 3d party plugins, or because working with older versions projects ( which is what I do obviously because I come from 6.5.3, and again I never had any big, “unstably” issue. )
I’m not blaming anyone on their hardware , or how their system is managed, but I truely do wonder why some people have solid stable systems (yet still perfectible), and others simply can’t work anymore after updating to 7.
A lot of it probably has to do with how the person actually works. If part of your routine or x-y-z procedure uses a feature that causes a crash or temporary freeze for instance… plugin instabilities with the new version… hardware too…
My prediction … about 100 “you guys rock” posts from people who didn’t even install the patch yet, intermixed with about 100 “you guys suck” posts from people who didn’t even install the patch yet. Then about two days later the actual fall-out from the patch will begin.
true that!.. i’ve been in a creative coma since day 1 of C 7 when the 8 cmc’s went into some sort of Amusement-park-mode, a lot of my belowed UA-plug’s started fuzzing e.t.c
So i look forward to the 7.0.2 tomorrow…It really can’t be any worse.
