You can flog your dead horse all you want, not sure what the point of it is. You have solutions posted right above, and the fact of the matter is, the developer of VST2 says its gone, so its gone, its never coming back.
Thats awesome you can still get away with using them. Fact of the matter is, if you run into any trouble Steinberg will tell you to get lost now, they are done wasting resources supporting a dead format. VST2 was replaced back in 2008 and everyone has had PLENTY of time to adjust and move on. It’s never coming back to Cubase, its just the way it is because the developer said so.
My guess is that some, maybe even most users still have VST2 plugs that are not replaceable.
For me, my biggest one, and most used is the Lexicon PCM Bundle…unless FLUX releases a VST3 version which is a definite possibility. Sure there are “close alternatives” but when you purchase this bundle for 1k years ago, you really learn the tools. The PCM bundle delivered, and it’s not something I want to loose…even after all these years. Like some 20-year old Waves stuff, the PCM just delivers for me. I was also worried about UAD Lexicon 480L but UAD finally came through with VST3.
With that said, I’m happy to know BlueCat as well as others will have a method to keep VST2 alive in case FLUX doesn’t deliver by the time C15 ends VST2.
I think the Lexicon PCM initially was well over 1k.
There was an abrupt drop around 10 years ago to around $300 iirc?
The thing is today there are so many competing quality reverbs. Michael Carnes the Lexicon brains is retired so interest with Lexicon PCM has rotted on the vine for years.
Now that FLUX has taken over, there is some hope for VST3 and Mac users. PC Windows users never an issue.
Michael was the one that went to Exponential right??
The Excalibur effects plugin and their reverb plugins were supposedly descended from his work at Lexicon. They were a little ‘too clean’ and proper for me, but that’s why you bought a PCM haha.
The hardware prices are kind of weird. I see 60s go for ‘cheap’ all the time and sometimes 70s are lumped in with it. If you hold out, you can get 81/91’s for not too bad prices, but the 80s and 90s seem to still be up there last time I looked.
Oversampling on selected plugins in the same way as Reaper. Too many plugins have a lot of aliasing artefacts. This would have a audio quality impact so it should have priority.
I think this is what users really want.
If you can fix many, if not all
of the bugs that have been neglected, I’m willing to pay maintenance fees for that.
Especially the state of the bugs that have been added since around 13.
I think this is really bad.
And although sales may not be possible in the short term, if you want sales in the long term, you need to reduce the number of bugs as soon as possible.
I think it would be more effective to use “less bugs than any other DAW” as a selling point.
Gotta add one more - the note expression could really use a feature to reset to default (i.e. pitch goes at zero when the next note is triggered). Even a small text box to type in the “ending value” would be a welcome addition.
Also unrelated - but all of the VST I have are obnoxiously loud when loaded or changing pre-sets. Maybe an option to open new instrument tracks with a lower default gain in the channel strip.
Increase the number of physical inputs, at least to 384 inputs… preferably to 512 inputs in the future… if it were possible, then in Cubase 13 . Thank you.
Export Cues by Markers. Select the marker, add to the job, and the exporting process SHOULD MUTE ALL OTHER MARKERS and automatically export the channels within said
marker.
Add starting TC of the marker as an option to add to the naming scheme
It’s the cubase 15 feature request thread - obviously I turn them down otherwise I would be clipping the master bus, but it is really annoying to have to do this every time I add a new track - maybe some people enjoy mixing that loud idk, but it’s not for me.
Then turn the volume knobs in your VST instruments down. Again, the channels have no ‘default gain’ at all. This isnt a hardware console with mic preamps or line inputs, the initial volume from a channel all depends on the instrument or track on that channel. If something is too loud when you add it, open the plugin and turn it down, or insert the Volume plugin which will let you control it. Its basic gain staging.
