Issue with a lot of plugins when Cubase's scaling is set to -25%

Cubase

Checked plugin updates as well, some didn’t change the described behavior, but the following plugins did:

Rule Tec Heritage Pro doesn’t crop content now, but jumps in size, moving it to category #3.
Devious Machines Duck’s window doesn’t enlarge everytime I open it, it just jumps in size, so category #3 as well.
Dsoniq Realphones has moved from the category #5, to #3, just jumping in size, without a blank space enlarging everytime.

In my case I’m working on a laptop and I have Windows set to 125% because otherwise things are too small, but I set Cubase to -25% because I know it well enough that I don’t have to see everything :wink:

BTW, I think I also identified a behaviour that doesn’t fall under #1-5 (EDIT: sorry, it’s #4). For all TAL plugins they get bigger every time I open them until eventually they get out of screen :slight_smile:

Checked 12.0.60.
No luck, the issues are still there.

Any progress on this? I’m having issues with the Waves Audio renaissance bundle, and how the plugins display in Cubase 10.5. With the Waves GUI, they’re unusable, because they have a fixed window size but are scaled up (because Waves didn’t modernise the old, low-resolution interface), so half of it is just cropped out.

This issue is compounded by the cursor map not matching the out-of-scale plugin window, meaning the controls can’t be used. The plugins still function as they can be controlled with the generic interface, or the ‘remote control’, but it’s kind of flying blind as you lose all of the useful visual stuff.

Hi @simon962 and welcome to the forums!

What version are your Waves plugins?

Thank you! I’m using the latest version of Waves plugins, 14.something

On the positive side though, I’m making more use of Steinberg’s EQ and Dynamics plugins that are part of Cubase…every cloud has a silver lining! :smile:

It has been almost three month from the latest 12.0.60 patch. Any progress updates on the issue? @Armand

@otro678 Very sorry about late reply.

I regret to tell you that no focus has been spent on identifying the root cause of those issues. I will try to unlock a budget for a task force to address them. At least I would like to understand better where the problems lie and whether they’re due to our DAW or to the 3rd party plugins.

Hi everyone and sorry for not being able to keep the momentum on this question.

A few things nonetheless:

  • make sure to update to the latest version of your VST3 plugin.
  • The first line support should be the plugin manufacturer in this case and not Steinberg.
  • Do not expect discontinued maintained plugins to work smoothly on these configuration.
  • If nothing worked then inform us on this thread which exact plugins and which exact versions are not working as of now.

FYI: @polynasia @ANAFREE
