There is Spring 2025 sale going on right and I currently own a Cubase 13 pro license and was contemplating upgrading to the Cubase 14 pro. I want to know if there is any significant difference between the 2 as I own Bitiwg 5.3 as well and produce majorly on Bitwig and Mix/master on Cubase. But now that cubase also has modulator, patter editors, drum machine, etc (bits from Bitwig and Ableton) I was thinking to completely shift to Cubase 14 pro. Will this make sense? Also if I upgrade now when is Cubase 15 pro due?
Is there a timeline within which you have to activate the license for example if i upgrade now to Cubase 14 pro am i requeired to activate the license immediately? Please suggest.
yes you should update. V14 is a good update, like you mentioned with the modulators and the GUI among quite a few other things.. V15 is probably not here for quite a while yet. v14 was released late last year and Steinberg has major updates about every 2 years as their normal update cycle for Cubase. I am quite sure you can wait to register your update and get the grace period for a free v15 update too but not 100% certain.
Thanks for the reply mate. How long have you been using Cubase. I just got cubase 13 pro last year on their 40th anniversary sale so i am fairly new but have a background of FL, Logic and now Bitwig. How do you find the workflow in Cubase for producing particularly? I mean for modulating, sound design stuff? What’s your use case?
I started using Nuendo in 2003, and tried Cubase VST 3.7 probably late 90s. Back then, Nuendo was the first with all new features, and I worked a lot with post-production mixing surround sound, among other things. I worked on most DAW¨s at some point but always came back to Cubase. It has the best mixer and the best daw for recording for sure. Once in a while there is something new and great that comes along, like when Ableton Live audio warp came along - and Bitwig have some very interesting mixtures of Cubase and Live - but for me the familiarity of Cubase will win every time now For music Cubase is the one that does it all and that is great for me. Bitwig seems nice but for me it seems very specialized towards a certain type of musicians. I have poked around in Bitwig, but I do not think I am the guy Bitwig is making software for
