Running fine so far.
Thank’s Elge and all Steinberg crew. The mixer looks so sexy now.
:mrgreen:

Thanks Steinberg!!!

Downloading right now, with full speed. :slight_smile:

Very fast download, thank you !

Awesome! Thanks for the on-going tweaks!

Very nice to have a jogwheel going smooth on Mackie!!

It’s great that reliable longstanding features have been kept, for example that familiar old freeze-on-quit!

Or to be less sarcastic, it just froze on quit, as usual.

taking a risk. just installed. got a session in an hour! so far, first impressions of mixer graphics are good. using g/h to zoom in and out of mixer with channel strip knobs works now. the knobs rescale and don’t overlap.

Thanks for the update! :smiley:

Variaudio works now, HURRAH! I can finally start using Cubase 7! Thanks Steinberg:)

I’m trying to update my 7.0.3 to 7.0.4, but:

An installation package for the product Steinberg Cubase 64bit cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package ‘Cubase7_64bit.msi’

What .msi???

Next message:

I’ve tried to downlown the update several times, but same problem occurs every time…

Thanks Steinberg, but there is still much work to have a correct version.

Rack does not work by default (F3), we must move on mixconsole 2 for the display works…

‘‘The correct waveform is now displayed after bouncing in place.’’

so where is this bounce in place feature? cheers

Oh great. Now every time I add a MIDI track the status line gets enabled! Are you kidding me??? Who is testing these updates?

Not here…

Even though I don’t see any performance fixes listed, I’m seeing better performance and fewer spikes.

And how about that sweet looking mixer?!? Damn, that’s nice. What a great and unexpected improvement!

same thing here downloading 3 times & same error !

Hi there how do I roll back to 7.03 the mixer page can’t scroll to the master fader. Plus every second Channel is bright Red it looks very strange surely surely not meant to be like this?. The zoom function on the mixer doesn’t zoom but removes channels? Never had issues in 7.03 bummer
