Steinberg Sequel 3 in Windows 11 anyone? Just curious

Yes, I have Cubase 13 Elements, but also wondering if my older Sequel 3 will work well in Windows 11, now that the Win 10 machine is retired from music duties :slight_smile:
Anyone try it with successful results that can comment?

I also am aware that it is not ā€œofficiallyā€ certified for anything past Win 10 v18**ā€¦ but since most things are found to work well in Win 11 that worked well in Win 10, thought Iā€™d askā€¦

Why not try installing it and see for yourself? Worst case you uninstall it later.

Iā€™m hesitantā€¦ on my new computerā€¦ since installing older software by other software companies, uh hum, that sounds like ā€œmagicā€ , have created system issues with outdated installers in past (on Win 10 machine), so donā€™t want to bugger up the newbie if avoidableā€¦

I already installed and used Sequel 3 with Windows 11. The software worked great, but I uninstalled it a few months ago because it is no longer of much use to me now. Cubase is so complete that I prefer to concentrate my work in a single environment.

Thank you so much Rene_L!
Its nice to know it works, but Iā€™d probably come to the same conclusion after getting it all setup and checking it out againā€¦
My Cubase 13 even though only Elements is pretty featured and up to date, so good thoughts to consider.
I wish they would update the Sequel to v4. I think its still valid, and offers a simpler DAW experience for the less that Serious DAW production people out thereā€¦

I donā€™t believe Steinberg will invest time and money into developing a new version of Sequel. This application was developed with the aim of ā€˜competingā€™ with Appleā€™s GarageBand application which had become very very popular at a certain time. Today, thereā€™s really no interest in it, even for Appleā€¦ I wouldnā€™t be surprised if they abandon it in the near future. There are so many alternatives to this type of application.

Good call once again! I think you are probably right in thatā€¦
Call me old fashion sentimentalā€¦ I hate to see good/fun things go to the wayside of newer, usually more complicated thingsā€¦ :slight_smile:

My impression is this is why Apple bought Logic, to get its audio engine and use it to build Garage Band.
