I’m looking at the new Mac Book Pro with touch bar, intel 4 core i7 processor. Comes with Sierra, Mac OS 10.12 and has 4 thunder bolt ports. My Cubase 6 wont run on it so I’ll upgrade to Cubase 9. I’m using a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 for my sound card and according to their web will work with the new Mac OS…
My question is… How do I do the upgrade to Cubase 9? Is it just a download with an authorization that will work with my old Cubase USB dongle? Since the new computer only has Thunder Bolt ports will there be any problem using adapters to use my USB key and connect up my older studio gear?
no port issue - just buy the apple dongle for $9 and the usb e licenser will work fine into the thunderbolt port. Apart from the annoyance of having a dangling dongle at the side.
