Process for changing from C6 free trial > "paid for" version

I’m not aware of any function from C5 which would be dropped in C6.

Hm, you don’t spend much time reading this forum, then?

There are several dropped features, together with alterations that, between them, have seriously troubled some C5 users. Some things that worked well and were very useful to some people have gone - hopefully some will come back in later versions, but my impression is that not all of them will.

@valsolim

could you be more specific, please? Yes, I have noticed some alterations. But dropped features? Could you refer to them, please?

I suppose, if you haven’t noticed them, they’ve not been important to the way you work - whole swathes of Cubase features could go missing without me noticing, because I use just a small fraction of the available features.

But, to mention the first three that come to mind right now as missing: colour shading of mixer channels (eg group and FX tracks); transparent events; and the way that MIDI lanes used to work. (This is only second-hand info (from reading the forum) - I haven’t got C6 yet. And I’m not implying they would all affect the way I work.) I believe the transparent events problem has been partially addressed, but with a long way still to go.

(There was also a substantial problem for people working with 48 KHz audio - AFAIK it was impossible to do some particular things at all with 48 KHz audio in C6 - but that was a mistake rather than an intentionally dropped feature, and there’s been a remedy of sorts (ie possibly not fully tested).)

Went to my brick-&-mortar store … they did not have the upgrade C6 package, just the “full”.

So, I just ordered the upgrade on steinberg.net. Wonder where it is mailed from … hopefully not too far away!

Can’t wait - woo-hoooooo!!!

Valsolim - have you received and upgraded yours yet?

And thanks, Chase, for clarifying how that upgrade actually works …
