vst connect, friend connect and studio key?

The use of the VPN has been forced on me as I cannot test it at home on the same network without buying the pro version. But why would I buy the pro version if I’m not sure it’s going to work on my setup. The reason for testing at home is that myself and a collab partner tried to use it but we kept having connection/log in issues and so I wanted to try to sort out issues myself as calling over Skype and pointing phones at each other’s screens was not working. Also, regards the VPN, an initial problem is just logging into the system on my VST connect SE computer (no VPN) so while the VPN may be an issue later, it’s not a factor in the intial crashes and connection problems.

As for the Steinberg video "skipping over the log in part’', ‘usually’ is the key word here. There is no denying that it omits certain steps which when you are having problems gives you nothing to fall back on.

One issue I suspect in that my music computer is only Windows 8 and I’ve been happy with the stability but may try to upgrade to Win 10 to see if it helps with VST connect.

I take on board the venting comments, and will for the moment just leave VST connect and continue passing projects via Dropbox. I’ll have another go later and get back if I finally get things working.

My System - Windows 8, Cubase 10 pro latest update, Vst connect latest (4.0.44)

there is a 30 day demo version …or you could tether a phone - lots of ways to test

That’s two ways…

Didn’t know about the 30-day trial though.

yes, I can count - how many ways to you want me to give you (there are more)

I told you about the 30 day demo in my reply on the 21st

politeness is sometimes the best way to get a helpful response…good luck

Hopefully you can help me. I cannot make it work in any way. I’ve read all threads. Watched all videos. Nothing works. I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my iPhone. I want to be able to hear my project play out of my phones speaker as a reference monitor.
The connection process is so confusing. I type the name and code generated on the MacBook onto my iPhone. But literally nothing happens. Signing in with my steinberg account doesn’t achieve anything either. What am I missing ? (I am using the 30 day trial. It’s all activated. )

start by creating a new thread here :slight_smile: with more details - what versions of the software on your mac/iphone etc - are you trying to connect over a LAN/WAN etc.

if you’ve read ALL threads and watched ALL videos then you should have some idea of the information we need to help

You need the build numbers? Well I mean obviously it’s the latest ones seeing as I just downloaded the trial version as I said. What else do you need to know ?

trying to help you as you’re the one that asked for help !

START A NEW THREAD with the version numbers and all other relevant information and I’ll try to get you up and running.

FWW you didn’t say latest build - you said you were “using the 30 day trial” - not really obvious and I’m not a mind reader ! Snarkiness ain’t gonna make it work

I agree. I guess I was just following the protocol of snarkiness that you set with ‘ if you’ve read ALL threads and watched ALL videos…’

I’m not trying to start some kind of competition with you - on the contrary I was offering to get you up and running with vst connect…

please yourself - makes no difference to me
