Hi MrFluga, thanks for your post and all the info, interesting, I will try and respond to each of your points:
- Preferences: I did these when I first started getting the problem with Cubase 9.5, have done it again with Cubase 10.0.10, seems to make no difference.
- Soft elicenser? I am not sure what you mean by the special installer? I have just the latest eLicenser downloaded from Steinberg 2.8.2.0 install version 6.11.3.1244
- PRAM battery: I replaced this just before I installed Mojave in November when I put the new graphics card in.
- Sonnet USB 3 card: I have had one of these installed for since 2017 but I am using the dongle on one of the builtin USB 2 sockets. I am pretty sure I have tried it in one of the USB 3 sockets and got the same issue but I will try again to make sure.
- New Dongle: I am using the dongle I got when I bought Wavelab 9 in Sept 2016.
I have not experienced any ELC connection loss once Cubase is up and running, which is often for hours, sometimes all day 10-12 hours. It is only when opening Cubase (I have not used Wavelab for a while, so I will only talk about my experience with Cubase) that I get the issue. As in my post above if I launch the eLicenser app then close it before opening Cubase it opens normally, however Cubase must be opened straight away, if I wait 5-10mins then open Cubase the connection loss happens.
Also just in the past couple of days, sometimes before the eLicenser opens I now the the message that the eLicenser app needs to be upgraded to be compatible with Mojave, I had not had that before, then the eLicenser open normally.
I totally agree about the performance of Mojave in general and Cubase 10, both are running superbly. Mojave is undoubtably the smoothest quickest responding macOS I have had on this machine in ages if not ever and Cubase 10, other than this ELC issue and one other issue related to a 3rd party plugin is performing superbly, much better than 9.5, the CPU usage seems way better.
