Does the crossgrade price to Nuendo 14 mean forfeiting my Cubase Pro 14 licence?
Thanks,
Rexx.
No, but the cross-graded Cubase Pro 14 can not be cross-graded again in the future.

Thanks. Also, the crossgrade product listing does not explicitly name Cubase 14, rather just Cubase 12 and 13, which seems odd as 14 has been out for a long time. It’s a compelling price offer as i often prep sessions for a Nuendo collaborator. I get around it by using his .npr file which Cubase Pro 14 can read, but it has no native ‘save as’ for .npr, and a few other workflow considerations, but it can save back to the .npr just fine.
Look again – there is a separate item which is the Cubase Pro 14 to Nuendo 14 crossgrade, at a lesser price than the cossgrade from Cubase 12/13.

Ah nice, missed that one! Thanks. I’ts been mentioned that if Cubase 15 comes out, i cannot use that licence to upgrade my Cubase 14 if i use it to crossgrade to Nuendo. I still have time to get confirmation of the facts on this.
Be careful what you read. If you are in any doubt, contact Steinberg Support, and do not rely on other users on this forum, unless they are Steinberg employees.
Why would you need Cubase if you have Nuendo? Sure there are, some features that come out in the music application first but they end up in the post program anyway, and you get all the benefits of stability and extra features.

Fair point, if Nuendo can open all my old Cubase projects then that may be fine. I’ll need to post in the Nuendo forum and ask. Not sure if Nuendo is more stable than Cubase.
I need to contact Sales or support directly to confirm as i’m getting conflicting info about being able to upgrade Cubase 14 to 15 with my c14 licence later once C15 is released.
Timo Wildenhain himself (Head of Steinberg) just replied to me over in the Nuendo forum “…Hello, yes, you keep your Cubase license and could update separately from Nuendo..”

That would be the kind of response I would expect from Steinberg, who as of late, have become far more flexible with their product offerings.
If you have a use for any of the post features, I would recommend Nuendo over Cubase but saying that, without Cubase, there wouldn’t be Nuendo, and with how development works these days, no one would have the feature pallete avaliable in either application, let alone sharing any features, between programs that are made independently.
Are you talking about the Grace Period?
That is always a fun topic, just when to cut it off, and for who.
If you, want Steinberg to help you, then you are best to write to info at steinberg dot de and you will get a response. I am not saying to forget the vast support channels available via Yamaha and America, as well as other countries but there’s no point griping on that line because we are talking about what really amounts to a great deal, without any subscription.
