C15 is one of the more buggy Cubase releases in recent memories for me (many issues well documented and discussed here). Many are regressions from C14 surprisingly. The hotfix in December did not address very many of them, if any. I’ve not been able to move to C15, which is the first time I’ve had that happen after a new Cubase release (generally, they work pretty well).
Wondering if there’s any ETA on the next bug fix update? Hoping some of the UI / color scheme and expression map regressions get addressed ASAP.
Even if you get an ETA, you wouldn’t know if the bugs were fixed without upgrading or testing yourself because Steinberg doesn’t give full changelogs for Cubase.
I thought something was a bug recently, only to realise I was not using something correctly.
Also, is it a bug unique to that users set-up, and unless you have there exact set-up it wont affect you.
The Parable of the Two Captains and the Low Tide
There were once two captains, Captain Valerius and Captain Merrick, who both sought to trade their goods in the city of Oakhaven, located several miles up a winding river.
The Setups
Captain Valerius commanded a magnificent ocean-faring galleon. His ship was designed for the high seas, featuring a deep, heavy keel that provided immense stability against rough waves and allowed him to carry a massive amount of cargo in the hold.
Captain Merrick commanded a river barge. His vessel was flat-bottomed, wide, and seemingly humble. It rocked uncomfortably in the open ocean and carried only half the cargo of Valerius, but it sat high upon the water.
The Situation As the two ships approached the mouth of the river, a summer drought struck the region. The river’s water level dropped by three feet—a significant change, but not enough to dry up the riverbed completely.
The Divergent Outcomes For Captain Valerius, the situation was a catastrophe. Because his “setup” relied on a deep keel for stability, the lowered water level meant his ship ran aground immediately upon entering the delta. He was stuck in the mud, unable to move, his cargo spoiling in the sun. To him, the drought was a business-ending disaster that required expensive dredging equipment to fix.
For Captain Merrick, the situation was irrelevant. Because his “setup” was a flat-bottomed hull designed for shallow clearance, the three-foot drop did not impact his ability to navigate. He sailed past the grounded galleon without slowing down. To him, the drought was merely a change in scenery, not an operational failure.
One can hope as the ones I’m particularly focused on are regressions from C14 and are acknowledged as bugs by Steinberg that are scheduled to be fixed as part of the next patch release.
