Our great small team has worked hard in recent weeks and months to provide you with a satisfying update, packed with many user-requested features and improvements.
Additionally we are excited and proud regarding the great cooperation with our good friends from Waves, enabling us to provide you with a very fine selection of pro-grade plug-ins.

Absolutely perfect! Thanks a lot! You are awesome!!

Very solid update, you guys are knocking it out of the park!

I was kind of hoping for 12.9" iPad Pro resolution support though…

I am thankful. Bring on the IAPS!

Great to see the Waves IAP! From my longish post (Cubasis to Cubase desktop workflow - Cubasis - Steinberg Forums) a question about them, which I am dying to get an answer for :wink::

Will the project importer in Cubase be able to transfer the Waves plugin settings if I have the plugins on desktop?

Outstanding update!

Waves FX are great. User presets for AU and effects are very useful. AU automation is nice to have. Even the little touch of effect and instrument organization feels great.

Best update yet. :sunglasses:

Hi kimeiroma,

Thanks for your kind feedback about Cubasis 2.3 and the Waves Plug-in IAP!

In this moment, our engineering is exactly sitting on this topic, and we hope being able to answer the question as soon as possible.

Best,
Lars

Hi all,

Thanks for the nice feedback so far!
We’re very glad you like the latest update, version 2.3 alongside the Waves Plug-in IAP additions (we love them too)!

Enjoy making music!

Best,
Lars

Thank you so much. How about the mixer channel pre gain trim & metering that I have been obsessing about :wink: - can we expect this to be added? Have a great day!

Hello, Thanks for the great update. I’ve purchased the Fx and Classic Machines bundles at the sale price, but the Buy button for the Waves Plug-in Bundle IAP sale is not working, at least since 2 pm USA Pacific Standard Time Sunday 11/26. I hope this gets fixed before the sale ends.

Thanks,
Allan

Hi muzkbotan,

Thanks for your message.

In the Cubasis in-app shop, please open the “Waves” folder and choose the product you want to purchase (Waves Plug-in Bundle, Waves AudioTrack…)
Afterwards it should be possible to order the product via the buy button located top right.

Please let me know if this helps to solve the problem.

Thanks,
Lars

I have been doing exactly what your message says I should do.

When I open the Waves folder in the In-App shop, the main Waves folder shows the Plug-In Bundle on sale for Buy Now at $7.99 US, the next line shows the Waves Plug-in Bundle for $19.99 US, the regular price, and this is followed by the individual Waves Plug-ins at the regular price of $7.99 US each. I have been trying to purchase the Waves Plug-in Bundle at the sale price since Sunday 11/26, but the Buy Now button for the $7.99 price isn’t responding (finger tap the Buy Now button and nothing happens, even after waiting a long time). All of the other Plug-in Bundles (Fx1 and 2, and Classic Machines) Buy Now buttons for the sale price worked perfectly, with the transaction progress screen opening within seconds.

I think maybe there’s something wrong with the IAP button/link to the IOS App Store or the App Store purchasing setup for just the sale priced ($7.99 US) Waves Plug-in Bundle. I’m running Cubasis 2.3 on an iPad Air 2 with IOS 11 (latest version), and I’m located in the San Francisco, California area of the United States.

Thanks for helping with this.

Allan

Hi Allen,

Thanks for your message.

The Waves plug-ins just have been introduced, and are not on sale at this moment.
The individual Waves Plug-Ins sell for $7.99, the Waves Plug-In Bundle (containing L1, Q10 and AudioTrack) comes at $19.99.

Best wishes,
Lars

Lars,
Thanks for your reply. The way that the IAP store looks in Cubasis, all the plugin bundles, including the Waves bundle, are shown with a reduced price on the folder lines, and with a regular bundle price for the bundle listing inside the folder. My Cubasis 2.3 shows two prices for the Waves Plugin Bundle ($7.99 and 19.99), each with its own Buy Now button. If the Waves bundle is not on sale, this should be fixed. I purchased the Classic Machines, Fx 1 and Fx 2 bundles at reduced prices ($7.99, 3.99 and 3.99) by tapping the Buy Now buttons on their folder lines. I was frustrated because the Buy Now button showing the Waves plugin bundle at $7.99 on the folder line does not work.

Have you looked at the Cubasis 2.3 IAP Store to see how it appears to Cubasis users?

Regards,
Allan

Hi Allan,

Thanks for your message.

The FX Pack 1, FX Pack 2 and Classic Machines in-app purchases are available as single products (bundling individual components) only.
In contrast, the Waves in-app shop folder houses separate in-app purchases, such as the individual Waves plug-ins, as well as the Waves Plug-Ins Bundle.

To avoid confusion, we will improve the Waves in-app shop folder item handling with the next Cubasis update.

Best,
Lars
