Short Question regarding the Files App Support:
-is there a subfolder Support within Cubasis - from my first experience i have to say NO
-Drag and Drop directly into Cubasis would be a great addon - 100%
Thanks a lot for this big step/upgrade; makes Cubasis much more flexible
Hi there…after this latest update having trouble with folders.
Created a subfolder thats not showing in cubasis properly. The subfolders don’t show and then abruptly change into an effects folder of some sort. Please see attached video that shows where i placed them and how its behaving once i try to navigate to them in Cubasis.
UPDATE: I removed these sub folders and placed all my sample folders back into just the “Audio” portion and deleted the “Pro Samples” folders and now the whole “Audio” folder is behaving this way. In that when i try to navigate through it it snaps into an effects folder or something.
UPDATE 2: In hopes of “restoring” the file structures (or something lol) I offloaded the app and reinstalled and getting the same behaviour. This may have done nothing in the grand scheme of things but just in case it mattered, wanted to update.
It looks like the update has deleted existing user subfolder structures (for example in the Midi user folder) including user files here.
Thankfully I seem to have many of them still available on another iPad with an older Cubasis verison (2.2).
Creating a better file system is great, but I’m really not sure, how reliable it will work.
Good Morning,
Apologies if this a basic question…how can I force my existing 2.3.1 app to accept the new 2.4 update? When I locate the app in the App store,the blue logo next to the Cubasis 2 app marked Open merely opens my existing app and does not appear to offer the latest build version.
I’m running 2.3.1 on iPad Mini 2 with IOS 11.2.6.
Have I missed something fundamental here,as I’m going round in circles…?
Hi, I was trying to upgrade from Cubasis LE to Cubasis through in-app purchases. The transaction seemed to go through but not the upgrade. When I checked “Purchases” on my iTunes Account it showed that “Cubasis LE 2, Cubasis Upgrade” was Pending. Usually my purchases are instant. I contacted Apple and they said I should be dealing with Steinberg to resolve this but in the meantime I should avoid making any more in-app purchases until the developer confirms the issue is resolved. I contacted Steinberg USA who suggested posting on this Forum. I was able to cancel the transaction through Apple in the meantime. I’m not sure if there have been issues or if I should make another attempt at the purchase, please advise. Thanks!
Thanks Lars. I followed the instructions and also deleted and re-downloaded Cubasis LE. I don’t see the in-app purchase to upgrade to the full-featured Cubasis though. To be clear, I bought a UR22 which includes a free upgrade from Cubasis LE demo mode to Cubasis LE which I’ve done. I now want to take advantage of my discounted upgrade to full-featured Cubasis as per the instructions with the UR22 but can’t.
(The previous transaction at the Apple store has been cancelled).
