"POLL" Pay for 7.5 on the way for christmas

it doesn’t make a blind difference what we say ,Steinberg have a price in their minds and that is what it will be , neither you or I voteing on what we think it will be will change that fact .

FREE!

Why should it cost anything?
Its still the same version, version 7. :unamused:

If they make a new version Cubase 8, then it should cost something to upgrade.

So, if they change the color of the box, call it Cubase 8, and charge $150, you will pay for it?
:smiley:

i’d donate a sizable sum if they scrapped the mixer and pretend it never existed.

It’ll more than I want lol £120 I reckon…could go up to £159 but to be quite honest i’m kinda stumped as to what they could possibly add.
If they add VST’s then…no thanks thats not really what most people want, well not me anyway.

Hoever if it had a swanky new modern look that alone would be worth the upgrade.

Sure. :laughing: :mrgreen:
A present too me under Christmas tree…
*joking

Well, if I have to pay, I want something tangible and useful for my money and not just bug fixes and general optimization. For example, frozen track management is an area where Cubase is SERIOUSLY lagging behind other DAW’s like Sonar and Studio One. I’d be willing to fork out a Franklin just for that.

Do you mean the C6 mixer?
(as per your sig).
{‘-’}

Steinberg does what they want. We pay, or we don’t, depending on the value we hope to get from update.
I’d pay 50eur for a good update, with important improvements and new features. But will not pay anything for just new colors in mixer or something trivial like that.
If they put in a new sampler, like a good built-in version of Halion, say Halion SE, with 7.5, I’ll surely go for it even for 100eur.
Depends on the goodies that will come with new update. There is plenty going on with other DAWs, mostly in area of workflow, lots of very good solutions. If Steinberg implements at least some improvements that other DAWS already have, it will be a good value for a paid update.

I’d pay if they had something like VCA mixing, I could care less about new synths

i would like to see (except of bugs and GUI improvements) serious workflow enhancements and features…

Fwiw, I’m not the free beer type, and I would not hesitate to pay for a 7.5 with really useful new features (plugin manager, multitrack wave edit/free warp, multi-out track presets etc - not merely for content, another plugin or eye candy though).
6.5 was a fair deal, with the discount towards the 7 update.
But, and it’s a big but :wink: :
Prior to 7.5 we need a free 7.1 or whatever that really fixes all the major workflow bugs and issues (KC focus, workspace/mixer integration, mixer zoom bugs for me, there are many other legit complaints), finally making it what 7.0 should have been right away, i.e. 6.5 plus the stuff in the “what’s new in 7”, in a reasonably bug free release.
Not 6.5 plus the stuff in the “what’s new in 7” plus “a surprise package of undocumented losses” complete with bug city down to font sizes …
Steinberg, please, get your stuff right this time with 7.1, fix what users desperately need to see fixed and you can count me in for a paid 7.5 a week later or a year later, doesn’t matter.
just my 5 ct,
Rhino

Oh, and as a bonus for all the waiting - can we get back visible muted notes in the drum editor, please ? :confused:

the c7 of course.

Would be nice to have two upgrade options. One may be slightly higher than the other and include the neve plugins. But I don’t bitch about paying for updates. I understand some stuff just doesn’t work right away but no bug has ever stopped me from booking sessions or even thinking about switching daws. I look forward to 7.5 and will pay the $150 again if i have to. No other DAW out there has given me the workflow Cubase has.

True that, I use Cubase 7 mainly in studio environment, and if I need a synth… really just make me own…

Considering I didn’t get a working copy of 7 (7.06) for almost a year, I sure hope there’s no fee!

I know that in the past, a .5 update has come with a charge and I’m normally okay with that. But in the case of Cubase 7, I feel that Steinberg should offer it for free for current Cubase 7 owners, since version 7 has been full of problems, crashes, a new Mix Console that came with multiple graphics issues, etc.

The release of Cubase 7 before they had all those problems fixed lowered my confidence level considerably in Stienberg to keep me working, trouble free.

They could go a long way to restoring that confidence by offering it for free and (most importantly) further strengthening the stability of this product that I’ve always been able to rely upon until this last release.

I am at a happy place with Cubase 7.

Besides the odd CPU/ASIO meter peaking (which I just reset and move on), I am moving quickly thru projects.

Unless there’s some great feature, like Quick Control II, or user free macro control, I don’t need anything right now.

I still haven’t upgraded from 6.5… That got me thinking, I could avoid all of the problems by just upgrading at the .5 intervals :laughing: :nerd:

To my mind, C7 is nothing short of a revolution and is on par with the innovative practices of the SB conglomerate but I do take the point there have been teething issues but remember when we buy into the software we are in effect swearing an oath of allegiance to the Steinberg cause.
