"POLL" Pay for 7.5 on the way for christmas

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.

After reading out the POLL result so far, it seems that the majority have already agreed that it shouldn’t cost anything…
I think the same too. :slight_smile:

EXACTLY!

Let me dream for a second as to what features/updates I’d be willing to pay for…

  • Put MIDI CC automation data into automation lanes similar to the kind you get when you record VST changes with the mouse.
  • Bounce in-place
  • A better designed MixConsole. I like the MC, I just think it has a mediocre GUI design.
  • More/better Quick Controls…
  • Fix manual beat grid editing in 64-bit…
    and finally…
  • MAKE VSTs STAY IN FRONT OF THE MIXCONSOLE ALREADY!!!~!~

But overall I enjoy C7 a lot and rarely have any problems with it. I’d still rather use Cubase over any other DAW even with this small list of quirks.

+1!!

As Rhino said, we need a 7.1, which runs proper, that means especially the mixer.
No need for more Plugins. Let the VSTs stay infront, that’s the main wish.
Fullscreen mixer ist still not usable till now, nearly one year after release of 7.0…

Seems like most posters want it ‘free’.

What are the odds that will happen?

I say 80/20 against.
(ahh that old 8:2 ratio seems to pop up all over the place)

{‘-’}

indeed people will always vote for anything to be free. that’s not equitable, and everyone knows, but still, free is better, right? ;] DAWs are comparatively dirt cheap, relative to what can be achieved with them. i’d be gladly willing to pay multiples of the asking price if they were bug-free. in a completely utopic scenario, i’d pay, say, $2k, and have $1 reimbursed for each crash of the DAW – as a form of incentive, of sorts – to the devs. :-]

Nice idea indeed.

But they would then probably want complete control
over every aspect of the DAW.

Including hardware, externals, 1st born. etc etc. :slight_smile:

{‘-’}

I’d prefer an EUR 49,- upgrade price over EUR 0,-.

But we should get a plugin manager, moving channels in the mixer, no more plugin hiding behind the mixer and controller automapping in return.

weel Curt you would have to be a bit deranged if you actually wanted to pay for an update :laughing: :laughing:

YMMV.
But I am curious which 5 posters ticked the ‘€200’ option.

Don’t you know? Cubase 8 is on the way with orchestral scoring for50euros. Me? I’m off out to look for a double onesie for me and my “friend”.

Im pretty sure the next time i wont be upgrading as soon as it comes, will wait this time and see if all the bugs get ironed out as i couldn’t be dealing with any issues like the mixer the last time :slight_smile:
