IIRC it was said end of Q1.
Iām not gonna be surprised if C12 will be released in December.
It would be nice to get it early but I donāt remember to see info that C12 is just slightly delayed after the ādefault release timeā of C11.5.
Soon-ish.
I think I read that it comes out in February.
Remember the grace period has already started. You need to release products in order to make money. If they only release end of 2022, the would have lost many billing cycles - upgrade to 11.5, upgrade to 12, Upgrade to 12.5 etc. etc. December 2022 would technically be Cubase 13. heheā¦ And no-one will pay 200usd upgrade to C12 in Dec 2022. To makeup the 4 billings cycles lost. heheā¦
True
Hopefully, it will not come rushed like the game, that the picture I put references to
seems cubase 12 is stuck somewhere and have hard time to be released
Maybe this will help :

my bet, it will be released on February
Itās already 20h of February here. Where is my cuubaaasssseeeee!
In that case, they better wash it first!
Pink Floyd song dedicated to cubase 12 : wash you were here
When you wash upon a staaaaarrā¦
Iām hoping that Iām wrong but I have a feeling that the Cubase as we know it will be no longer ā¦
Steinberg /Yamaha are going subscription !
Theyāve said many times they are not - soā¦
My guessā¦since weāre all just guessingā¦
About 120 days from todayā¦three miles from Yamahaās headquartersā¦Anaheim Namm 2022.
Theyāll pre-announce June 1. Namm begins June 3.
Thereā¦if Iām right, maybe Iāll win a free legacy collector edition elicenser when I visit the Steinberg room at the Marriott
By the way, June 1 is the 55th anniversary of the release of Sgt Pepper (for those of us who were there at the time).
Weāre just two lost fools

i suspect this doubly so this time as iām sure the majority of their update resources have been sunk into new licensing & M1 support (both completely redundant to any PC user who has no issue with the dongle)
their lack lustre updates & completely ignoring valid feature requests that already exist in most of the competition (native multiband crossovers / FX containers, native modulation system, multi assignable macros, some form of native audio rate modulation option or FM synth, non linear sequencing, VST hosting separate from Cubase audio engine etc) for years have completely turned me off.
I bought Bitwig over xmas & will never look back. Interestingly its only my Steinberg virtual instruments that crash in Bitwig (out of like 100 plugins i own). Looks like their VSTIs are just as unstable in other DAWs as Cubase is in general. So far so good aside from that. Working in Bitwig is fun & brings a multitude of groundbreaking ideas to the table. Working in Cubase is a grindy chore, riddled with crashes & instability issues in comparison.
Well, I guess theyāll release it when itās done. No?
Heh! Yes. But software is never ādoneā ā itās an unachievable utopia.

Wellā¦ That screen is from Cyberpunk 2077. That didnāt work out very well for them.
its Feb 8ā¦ and no news

Paradoxically, it can be overcooked.
