I have just upgraded to Cubase 9 (a long long time coming) and was a little disappointed that it is a download copy that I received and now a physical copy. This means that the instruction manual (which has taken me an hour to find) is a PDF.
Not being one that like to print 1000 pages and hate reading from a screen, is there a way to get a physical copy of the manual? Or do Steiburg send them out later?
The last version of Cubase to have a physical manual was Cubase 5, which was released almost 10 years ago. The manual is expensive to print and its weight increased shipping costs.
The closest alternative is bookmaking either of these pages on your phone or tablet:
Download the PDF-manual and get your local print shop to print it on high quality paper, double sided probably and go for the hardcover binding option.
I had the sections I was interested in printed off double sided at the UPS Store and then put it in a notebook. I prefer printed copy. It would be nice if Steinberg had a printed version to purchase.
