Cubase iC Pro for Android available now!

In case you missed it. Restarting your computer may fix the problem. Worked for me. I spent an hour farting about until I decided a restart was worth a go.

I’m getting that cosy Beta tester feeling all over again.

I have actually just tried to install an ad-hoc network by following the instructions in the video tutorial, but my Win-7 64bit system does not offer me the option to set up an ad-hoc network - It only gives me the following options:

Connect to the Internet
Set up a new Network
Connect to a workplace
Set up a dial-up connection

The next option (shown in the video) is not there.

Any idea what’s wrong?

Ad hoc networks are by definition between wireless devices, if I’m not mistaken.

For those who can’t connect :
As been said before, be sure to disable your firewall.
Don’t lose time on ad hoc connections, a simple wifi connection is enough.
Install bonjour !!! Or you’ll never get the “your_daw_name_here” connection window and you’ll have to connect via Ip each time.
You don’t need to connect to internet, a simple local wifi router does the job.
You don’t need to have wifi on your Daw for IC pro to work, as suggested before a cat 6/5 network plugged on a wifi router (internet box…) will suffice.
You don’t need a password.
And what I couldn’t get straight :
Be sure to enter the activation code on the E-licenser then be sure to Download the license. You should get a Cubase IC pro license (or Trial) mention visible in the rigt panel when you click on the soft elicenser.

Then this beaut will work flawlessly with many simultaneous clients.

OK - I’ll just stick with they way it works now.

thanks

I don’t get it.

Bonjour running.

The DAW computer is connected to the WiFi router with a Cat5e cable.

I disable my windows firewall, home and public on the DAW machine.
I disable Avast anti virus completely on the DAW machine.
I disable the Internet network connection on the DAW machine.

I launch N6

On the Android I launch Cubase iCPro

There is nothing in the ‘Select your computer’ box, so I enter the IP of the DAW computer. The app then reports that there is no host assigned to this IP address.

If I then enable the firewall, anti-virus and the Internet connection again the IP becomes available and IC pro attaches to Nuendo.

So how can I run IC without the firewall and Internet etc being connected?

I’m already using Cubase iC pro on iPad, but also have Galaxy 5" Android phone. I wonder is it possible to use at the same time both iPad and smartphone? If yes, I could control one part of Cubase, while my guitar player could control and set his channel.

Weird, you get the opposite behaviour I encounter.
At the moment, I’m experimenting on a huawey 3g wifi router without sim card, so no internet. It acts as my wifi router between my Daw (with a wifi dongle) and my 3 android devices (Sony Xperia Z tablet, Google Nexus 7 and a 5" smartphone. I tried with the same gear but daw connected via lan and wifi router and on a laptop and I always had to switch off the firewall even after windows asked me to allow some ports opening for IC pro.

But whatever, If it works, it does. But do you get the Daw name’s or do you always have to connect via IP ?

That my friend, you’ll have to try…
With two Android devices, you’re able to have different opened sections…

You installed and enabled SKI-Remote in Nuendo?

Not working!!! :frowning: :imp:

Cubase 7.5, firewall disabled, Antivirus Disabled, made ping from my PC to the tablet and phone (android) = test OK

1 -. Added in “Device Settings” + SKI Remote.
2 - turn on the IC Pro app in Android (I’ve tried both the tablet and phone separately and at different times).
3 -. Wrote the IP of my PC in the app, which is 192.168.1.114
4 - Result… “There is no host assigned to this IP address.”

In none of them work!

Any suggestions?

My tablet Acer A500 Android 4.3
My Phone HTC One S Android 4.1.1



:arrow_right:

yup.

Got it to work. ELicencer issue.

It took me a LONG TIME to make this work on my Android devices…I was also getting the problem where the computer name would not show up on my device, and when I would put the IP address, it would tell me that no such IP address existed (although I had just run an ipconfig on my PC so I knew it was the right one).

What seems to have worked for me is restarting my phone a few times.

For my tablet, it went smoothly to connect. To my surprise, the computer name was showing. I say to my surprise because its an old Motorola tablet running Android 4.0.3. Nevertheless it was smoother connecting that then my Samsung Galaxy S2 which is on 4.1.2. However, it froze my tablet about 15 minutes later while i was experimenting.

It should be noted that my firewalls are off and Im using an open ad hoc network as per the video.
I will further test with my firewall back on, but as it stands right now, things are working and the firewall is off.

I have BOTH devices connected at the same time which is pretty sick… I like how on the tablet I get more real estate so I’ll probably just use my phone for start and stop!

Thanks Steinberg for not ignoring the Android community! :slight_smile:

PS. FOUND A POSSIBLE BUG. On both my devices I cannot set the tempo to a new value. Others would like to confirm?

PS2. No need to turn off firewalls here. Worked just the same. :slight_smile:

For me, it works if I Enable the firewall, Enable anti-virus and Enable the Internet connection on the DAW machine.

Check your elicenser. Is there a license downloaded on the right side of the Window ?

I can set the tempo no problem. Buuut! The interface for changing the tempo is so small. I can’t see the numbers I’m selecting. It should be much bigger. Failing that the n the tempo in the top right corner should indicate the numbers you are choosing. Another real annoying thing about it is that if you accidently tap on your screen the dialogue disappears. There is a cancel button that is fine for dismissing the dialogue. I’m also having the dials sticking especially the middle one for some reason. Also, and this is beyond my comprehension, sometime when you move the dials, instead of setting on the number you chose they just reverse spin and go back to a different setting setting. Just figured out what happens here. If your finger goes outside the dialogue box then the dials just spin to wherever they feel like. This is cause because the dialogue is too small to see the numbers with your fingers over it.

Beta tester feeling creeping up my spine. Tingly.

This is only my second time testing it out and the question is, why are steinberg charging money for this? Got a lot more questions but they involve a lot of swearing.

hi steinberg, great work!

my solution, when no wlan around, but also works as an xtra-wlan for recording.
under win 7, you can make an hostednetwork.

-open cmd as administrator

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=daw key=12345678

netsh wlan start hostednetwork
-Starts the network “daw” with password “12345678”

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
-Stops the network “daw”

works great for me at every place withaout hotspot or wlan

thanks for cubase ic pro,

Check your elicenser. Is there a license downloaded on the right side of the Window ?

Thanks Bifop, YES the problem just eLicenser!!, this a moment its OK, uff… correct.

Thanks!!!

Worked here but with problems on an old Android Tablet made by Medion.
I think the tablet cpu is too weak.
Sometimes i don’t see the whole project part on the upper side of the tablet.
Sometimes there is only the left side or mid side from the project side.
