Thanks Matthias, There was no mention in the video that there was new content. I hope I can integrate my jazz audio and midi loops in the system. But thank you again, for all the other new features. I am committed to staying positive.
I,ve download the groove agent 4.2 update twice, and everytime i try to install it i get a crc file corruption error and it asks me to download again. Is it my computer or a problem at your end.
Steinberg’s policy is that we are always testing new releases on the last two OS versions. GA4 was released in August 2014 before the release of 10.10. Hence it support just 10.8 and 10.9. GA4.2 has been tested on 10.9 and 10.10.
You can always give it a try and install the application on a non supported OS, but we only state that it will work properly on the supported OS.
Matthias,
First of all, great update. The only comment I would make is that in future it would be enormously helpful if the updates could be broken down into two parts; program and content. The reason I mention this is that during the update process it showed that the GA-4 content was already present and would not be updated, only the program. Considering that the lion’s share of the download was likely the content (I’m surmising, of course), it would have saved a lot of time if all most of us had to do was download the program. Would have lightened the load on your servers, too. Just a thought.
Excellent update. Makes me very happy – with my “all in” commitment to GA 4.
Now if only you could add additional velocity layers to the acoustic drums in 4.3 or 5.0
Thanks for delivering a great sounding drum machine. Had to choose between buying the GA 4 or upgrading from Cubase 6.5 to Cubase 8.
I took the 1st option (with the intention to update to Cubase 8 anyway whenever finances allow me), relying on the information that GA4 is supposed to work on any DAW. I assumed that this would also include Steinberg’s own DAW, even a little two versions ago (Cubase 6.5). And it does work on 6.5 indeed (Windows 7 64 bit) - except for (at least) two rather important functions:
dragging midi from the DAW to GA4 is not possible;
dragging midi from GA4 to the project is possible, but does not automatically update drum maps (which urges me to make the drum maps for the Agents manually…).
Updating to 4.2 doesn’t solve this. Would you please mind these issues for the next update? As soon as I can afford the upgrade to Cubase 8, I would like to do it just because 8 is great - not because 6.5 fails on elementary tasks.
I’m in your boat already, but keeping me happy will certainly help me to spread the Steinberg gospel.
