Windows 10. Working fine here. Minor glitch resolved in record time by Steinberg support.
Building a new PC from scratch is an extreme solution. It would also be a major time distraction from writing music, which, of course, is what I’m trying to avoid when I upgrade.
As I mentioned above, I’ve had no problems upgrading to new releases or point releases of several other large, complex professional software tools. Since Cubase 12 has been out for a year and a half and has had several point releases all I want to know is how do I make sure the Cubase upgrade is as trouble-free as them?
BTW the only third-party software I use that I care about is Kontak (full release) and the only third-party hardware I use is the Steinberg UR22mk2 and a pair of Akai MIDI keyboards.
Yes, building a whole new PC is an extreme solution for sure. But I need to run the latest and fastest hardware in my studio, so I just synchronize PC upgrades with Cubase upgrades.
Having said that, due to rather underwhelming CPU improvements lately, I’m skipping a hardware upgrade this year, and just installed Cubase 13 on that PC (that already has Cubase 12 running on it).
I was pleasantly surprised that it … just worked. No plugin drama, no crashes, and settings properly migrated!
Sadly…
