Congrats with the 10th anniversary! I’ve been using Cubasis since it came out.
I’m happy you squashed so many bugs with version 3.5.
However, I am not happy with the Cubasis Hub and Quick Actions.
I only use Cubasis with a 8 channel audio/midi interface (Behringer UMC1820) and will never, ever use the suggested “New Project”. I tried to delete it to replace it with my 8 channel audio Template. Though it wouldn’t allow me.
Can you please give us the option to choose the template for our new project?
Also, as a long term Cubasis user, I have no interest in getting started and other tutorials. I rather have the option to turn off the hub or landing page completely .
What about choosing your favorite project to be loaded via using the “Browse” tab in the HUB?
If this does not work out for you, choosing the “Open Recent Project” option in the “Quick Actions” should work out, if you make sure to always end Cubasis having a decent project loaded.
In my honest opinion, the new Hub in v3.5 is an absolute must and it has made Cubasis ever better. There has been many times where I have launched Cubasis3 which uses some IAA synths, causing the initial launch to take anything up to a minute, but now I can just tap Cubasis/Browse and see at a glance any project names with abbreviated IAA apps that I added to the titles, so that I can pre-launch them first, Cubasis then only take’s seconds to launch
The only bug I have found so far is the “pinch to zoom” now doesn’t work sometimes, but I’m sure this will be fixed quickly.
Thats why Marcel is asking for an “option to disable the hub”
He isnt asking to remove it, he asks for an option to disable it for the users that dont need it.
I dont see any reason to oppose his request and to give the devs a reason to not implent that option.
Things getting “fixed quickly” is a bit of wishful thinking as updates dont come regular.
The reason is probably because every update has to be revised by the app/playstore with the chance it doesnt get approved and the devs need to change it/find another way to accomplish the same change.
If you roll out an update,lets say:weekly, and have to redo it everytime takes up a lot of time n stagnates the devs workflow so if you do a massive update with longer intervals you can tackle all the non approved elements at once.
Maybe not but that would be the most logical reason for having long intervals between updates.

Glad to read this!

Do you have more details about this? If so please share them with us, to allow us further evaluating the problem.
I would also very much appreciate an option to hide the hub in a future update. Previously the app would immediately resume where I left off, which I think is what many users would expect in the mobile app.
Note that Cubase 12 has a similar hub which CAN be disabled.
For Cubasis, I only see the option to uninstall. Other apps like Google drive and Gmail do offer such shortcuts. Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall Cubasis, but I don’t want to risk losing my project data.
In principle though this would be a good solution. Thanks for pointing it out!
I’m not sure I need to, and I’m not planning to. I was just speculating that maybe the update to 3.5 didn’t work correctly and perhaps a clean install would help. The reason I say this is because, if I understood your comment correctly, I should see shortcuts when I long press the Cubasis app, but I only see the “Uninstall” option.
Hi there,
If you press the app icon too long you will get the delete option, tapping the icon too quick opens Cubasis, but just press the icon for no longer than half a second and you will get the project options, it does work
Good luck
As I previously mentioned, it does work with various other Android apps. It definitely does not work with Cubasis for me. It either opens the app (brief press) or shows uninstall (longer press). There is no other behaviour.
Here’s a link to a screen recording. You’ll see that with other Android apps I see shortcuts when long pressing the icons, but with Cubasis 3.5 I only see an Uninstall option.
This thread was originally about the new hub, and the fact that for many users, when launching the application, the most useful action would be to resume where they left off (most users won’t finish a track in a single session). This was the behaviour prior to 3.5.
Now, we (at least Android users) first get the hub screen, and then have to click “Open Recent”. It’s a very minor inconvenience, and I can see that the hub is useful for new users. Ideally, there would be an option to disable the hub, but I can live with the occasional extra click.
