This should all be fixed by now, no?
Yes, it happened with files at 48khz and audio device was at 96khz. I could not change audio device freq as it is Waves Soundgrid set from FOH and had to be at 96Khz.
In that case audio tracks were not playing in time and also Midi tracks that are used to send program changes also got affected.
This situation was happening with VST Pre-Release 3.0.35 and 2.2.115 also. And other versions as well.
Sorry, this has been fixed in the latest prerelease 3.0.38. Rate conversions larger than or equal to factor 2 (like 44.1 or 48 to 96 or larger), and smaller than or equal to 0.5 (vice versa) were not supported before.
Almost all of these supposedly positive reviews about stability are taken out of context in this forum thread, and the originals are easily found through a search. Someone’s broken functionality was fixed, and of course, they were happy and expressed their gratitude. But this doesn’t reflect the real picture and doesn’t indicate any stability, while open and unresolved issues suggest the exact opposite.
I use it at rehearsal an live and could not report any stability issue. Only thing, which doesn’t work stable is VSTL Mod on the iPads. So I stopped working on that. Which includes, that I have not add any lyrics, notes or cords to my songs. I also avoid most of the built-in editors, as they are not user friendly. So I prepare every song in Cubase and could reduce the usage of the editors to a minimum. I had some issues in the beginning with MIDI connection. But after changing to CME WIDI and Mac instead of cables and windows (other reason than VSTL) these issues were gone. I checked also my logs for crashes and had only 1 crash in the last 7 months (switching to new mac). And this one was reported and solved with the next pre-release version.
Exactly. Go ahead and get your own opinion. A glass can be half full, or half empty.
It’s strange to scold developers for that that their product don’t meet your requirements after you’ve tested it before buying.
How’s that possible? Maybe you tested it before buying, but it’s a couple of months between the release VST Live 3 is now available! and the trial version VST Live 3 Trial - Now Available - #2
. Those who already had the previous version at least have a presentation and need it, but a newbie doesn’t have that option. They pay for what’s advertised on the website, believing everything works as expected and not even realizing that it’s a beta version at best. And the person doesn’t ask for anything supernatural, he simply wants to see the program for which he paid money! It has exactly the same functionality that is so beautifully advertised on the website https://www.steinberg.net/vst-live/
Yes, it’s possible to wait couple months for people who don’t want to be disappointed. I did that with many Cubase versions, also Dorico. But since I’m helping the VL team with my testings, I install every new version and prerelease just to test it immediately. Why? Just to be sure the new version starts and run as before and I can report any bug as quick as possible. I run my setlist (very shortly, start songs, change songs, play VI, listen mix backing tracks or stems, fx…), I check those positions that are important for me and my performance. Yes, it takes couple hours a week plus additional time when testing some user’s reported bug (if I can due to my setup). I don’t have the setup other users have, like DMX.
There were two or three times last year when I decided to downgrade VL2 because of bugs just day before public performance. And I didn’t feel such pain as you expressed. Just use what works! That’s it.
Don’t push on the fact that you paid and didn’t receive for what you spent your money. They made their product available for everyone from professionals to Sunday enthusiasts for such low price. And what they receive? Your anger. From this point I would say the price of VL3 should be 3 times higher.
I’ve read some discussions and complaints about Cubase before. But none of the successful composers and performers have said anything bad about the tool and developers team that gave them the opportunity to realize their dreams.
