Cubase isn't perfect (like any DAW) but here is an appreciation post

Just wanted to say thanks to the team and developers involved in the evolution of Cubase. I love the direction it’s going, things are getting snappier, easier to do, and there’s almost nothing the program can’t do. Keep going on this road and I’m sure updates to C14 and later releases like C15 will just make this DAW better and better.

I would consider myself a heavy advanced user of Cubase. Maybe the only part of it I have not touched yet is the video stuff.
Thank you to all involved, it is a marvel and I’m able to do nearly every single little thing I need to with the way I work.

I still wait for more separate absolute on/off commands to become available, and maybe I’m keen to see where the direction goes aesthetically (GUI), but man do I love it.

I feel like Cubase is the perfect balance of flexibility and regiment, at least with my production methods.

Thanks, Steinberg. It’s clear you worked hard on C14 and listened to customers. Keep going.

zooterman,
I agree… Having started in the DOS days of sequencing, I certainly appreciate all that I’m able to accomplish with Cubase. I started with C5 and now am on C14… quite an adventure!

Count this fossilized old man in too.

For the price of a used eight track reel-to-reel back when I first started recording, I now can have the most comprehensive musical production system I could ever imagine.

And the Cubase upgrade price is about what repairing that old beast ran back then too.

Bugs and all, love ya Cubase!

It’s really amazing how far DAWS have come. I could never imagine doing what I do now 20 years ago.

I join this thread with the same sentiment. Well done Steinberg.

I think you’re out of subject, because it’s more about what other competitor program can do!
Preferable to not mention RTR here which can be misunderstood, because in terms of recording quality nothing beats analog!
Digital sequencer can be ok, and powerfull, even if dawless sweet me better!
However cubase or anyelse digital audio daw/digital recording sucks like hell!
The velvet sound of analog will stay unbeatable for eternity just because of digital concept and drawback!
This said the better cost more, so it is analog!

Thanks for enlightening us.
We had no clue.

Reading some of the posts here you’d think Cubase was the only imperfect DAW.
Speaking (typing?) as a Cubase user since Cubeat (!) on the Atari.

Yeah have fun with Logic’s bugs, or PT’s bugs, or Ableton’s bugs.

Choose your poison really. Either stick with it and learn it, or keep hopping around getting nothing done.

This is true in so many ways.

I’m frequently amused by folks complaining about something not being extra-super-easy when it was pretty much impossible only a few years ago.

We live in an age of magical tools that we seldom really appreciate.

So why are you even posting in a Cubase, or any DAW, forum if you hate digital so much?

I mean, I don’t play golf but it has never occurred to me to post in a golf forum telling them that golf sucks.

What’s the point of your post beyond being obnoxious.

Mymy, what a proof of hate by digital audio supporter being drown back to reality!
Does i said i didn’t use cubase?
Does cubase is only related to digital audio!
Does digital audio is everything about digital!

What’s the point of your post beyond being obnoxious and spread stupid nonsense content.

My point is clear analog hasn’t anything related here, but cubase evolution and/or competitor!

Aliened people one for sure!

Sorry, but ??
Can you please rephrase, I don’t get what you are trying to say.
I don’t think anyone here hates analog gear.
Analog vs digital? Come on, we are past that dreadful discussion. Pick whatever floats your boat, combine both worlds or stick to pure analog or In The Box - that’s all up to you. A rant on analog or digital ? Oh my, what a waste of time and energy.

Agreed, well said! Notwithstanding expected bugs, C14 is the best release in years, for sure! Keep up the good work, Steinberg!

When you get to it, you’ll find it has one of the most solid DAW video engines on the market for scoring purposes, been using it many (many) years for film/video/media scoring. It’s a critical feature for many of us, I hope Steinberg continues to pay attention to it and refine it. Nuendo’s video engine has even more features, of course! :sunglasses:

WTF?
Your nonsense is obvious!
You even don’t understand anything at what your reading, ridiculous one again alienated!
Don’t you haven’t something else to do, or open another subject, THAT’S OUT OF CONTEXT!

Is that actually something that they’re actually doing?

Because for sure there are things they could improve in recently added features, like modulators or patterns; but I don’t recall there ever being a free point updates? At least since 9.x when I first got a Cubase license?

Hi @Sergent_Yohann, I think your posts are out of context in this specific thread. Say what you want of course, go for it, but this is one of those rare threads that pops up once in a while about people giving appreciation to the hard working people in Hamburg who made Cubase. C14 was a milestone release, let some folks share appreciation. Please read the room.

The OP didn’t bring up analog vs digital, etc., this was just a general appreciation post. Nothing wrong or controversial about it. Steinberg deserves to get some kudos sometimes, right? I understand your point about analog, it’s a worthy discussion IMO, lots to discuss about different aspects of it, but this thread had nothing to do with that. The OP isn’t even stating that Cubase is perfect, but on the contrary, the title of the thread says what we all know, that Cubase ISN’T perfect. Yet this release is worthy of appreciation, that’s all. Not a big issue to inspire debate or conflict, right?

So please let it go in this thread, and may I suggest starting a new thread where the subject you mentioned can be debated, agreed upon, and other opinions can be shared, etc. But do what you want of course, it’s up to you. Have a great day!

Also off topic, however…
1: Analogue vs digital, well that sounds suspiciously like the valve (tube for you colonials :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) vs transistors discussion (ask any guitarist!).
2: My ears are anologue, my monitor speakers are analogue, ergo, all it’s all analogue, and it’s a time-wasting discussion.
3: I’ve tried demos of other DAWS over the years, in the 90’s I tried one that didn’t even allow tempo changes. But I’m still with Cubase.
'Nuff said.

I would suggest using Google Translate to write your posts for you…
As a native English speaker, your posts read like complete gibberish.
