Bloody hell - I went through this dilemma from v3.7 to v5.......do I
really need it when my current version is working fine? I'll probably
be overcome by temptation and upgrade again which is of course exactly
what Steinberg wants. Bastardo!!!..........LL

Usually new software has more bugs then existing
updated software does. But a new architecture
of the software may be a good thing as it no doubt
leaves behind legacy code. I noticed this version
is only supported on W2000/XP or OSX.
What about all those people still swearing by W98?
I guess they will be forced to move up if they want to
keep up.

I answered my own question.
Live Rates as of 2002.03.14 02:08:02 GMT.
299.00 EUR Euro = 261.960 USD United States Dollars
So it's about the same.

It's hard to tell at this point. But the new Cubase SX
will be like Nuendo with Midi features. However they
state that Version 1.0 of SX will not have every feature
of 5.1 but they will be incorporated in subsequent releases.
Cheers,

I just shelled out over $500 Canadian about two years ago for VST3.7,
another $200 only about six or eight months ago for the update to VST 5.0,
only to find out now that it is slated for obsolescence in the near future.
I'm only using the 24bit version, so it is going to cost me a projected $420
CDN to update to SX!! This is on top of the $200 or so that I just paid
about three months ago for the LM4 MKII.... does the VSTi for drums (listed
as a drum sampler) included in SX negate this purchase too??!! Why can't
Steinberg make the updates available at the retailer level so that
competition can keep prices down? Will we really get a great deal on the
upgrade from Steinberg??
OTOH..... it looks like it has the potential to be an awesome system.
(though I'll have to upgrade my Win98 system PII466 to WinXP, probably a new
motherboard and processor....grrr....) I have enjoyed VST for the past two
years and have not had the complaints that I hear from many on this group.
It is encouraging to see that a lot of the features that users have been
pining for (ie. multiple undo) have been addressed for the new "version."
The integration of audio and midi channels in the same mixer is a feature
that I like. For $400 CDN, I get an update from 24 to 32bit, the Apogee
dither, True Tape, Cubase score features, and all the new features of SX. I
can't really complain about the price. For me, it is just the timing.

I hear ya but...software upgrades are a fact of life.
You don't have to upgrade. That is up to you.
But just remember that within 6 months (or sooner) they will
probably have another upgrade. This is how software
companies or any other company stays in business
by having new products. I have never really looked into
Nuendo but heard it was really good for audio but lacked
midi support. Now it looks like CuBase will have Nuendos
audio features and CuBase's midi combined so where
does this leave the Nuendo product?

the upgrade is 99 euro. is that accurate? that's cheeaaaappp.
Markus Hastreiter
SX isn't nuendo with midi, its using the same audio engine nuendo does.
Sonar uses the same audio engine as SF Vegas does, still doesn't make them
comparable programs.
-Markus
js33
I believe you are incorrect. Go read the interviews
with the developers. They say how they took most
of the codebase of Nuendo and brought in the midi
features from Cubase.

I know how you feel. I upgraded my second version of VST to 5.1 only a
month or so ago.. now I have to upgrade them both, along with the studio PC
which is still running W98. This is also going to force me to upgrade my
MOTU as there are no W2K/XP drivers for it... <sigh> ;-)
But the feeling is illusory.. no-one 'needs' to upgrade... VST 5 will not
suddenly stop working !
Besides, the alternative (no progress in software development etc) is for us
all to still be running Pro24 on Ataris!
All in all this is great news.. I anticipated Steinberg pursuing the Nuendo
route and 'forcing' us to go along with them.
Also, the fact they've knocked Windos on the head means they're getting very
serious about stability which is a good thing.

I REFUSE to buy another update from Steinberg to upgrade to Cubase SX.
I own a Roland/Edirol U-8 controller / remote. This came with a custom
version of Cubasis. I was also told by the retail store that there is an
upgrade path to the full Cubase 5 VST32 so I went for it and bought the full
version.
I immediately noticed a problem with the control of VST32 from the U-8 and
so I let Steinberg know via e-mail as well as their "Beta test" forum. This
was back in 5r1.
I went through the motion each time and downloaded r2 to r6 but the problem
still hadn't been fixed. I eventually downloaded 5.1 r1 and still no joy. I
have also posted it a few times to this newsgroup but obviously no help.
NOW THEY EXPECT ME TO UPGRADE AGAIN TO SX! DO I HAVE IDIOT WRITTEN ON MY
FOREHEAD?
If they can't fix a simple problem after 6 upgrades, is the full facelift
going to make a difference? They want me to spend more money on another new
package but they haven't even fixed a problem in a previous one after 6
upgrades.
COME ON GUYS GET YOUR AAS IN GEAR!!!

ungodly amount of money on over 200 plug ins and as of 5.1 many already don't
work. Most of them are there only to overcome the pitfalls of cubase to begin
with. I don't want to see the results of sx.
I have 2 motu cards plugged into my mac and have no idea how they will work
with osx or the new sx. I don't have osx because cubase doesn't work with it
now so I will have to install it and all the software that will be needed to
run with it and hope I can learn how to deal with it. Then, after all that
headache, I will have to learn the new sx version's twists and turns.
Cubase should not be moving so fast. As another post said, Steinberg should
make what they have to be the best. Changing out the engine is something they
could have done behind the scenes as is unlimited undo and the other little
features that we hope to be getting from sx. Further, I was expecting that for
the money I have already spent, I would have a product that works better then
it does and get upgrades on it. Every time a major upgrade comes out it is a
NEW product.
Instead of signing on to the addiction of upgrades, I am going the other way.
As of 5.1, I will no longer buy cubase products. I have it already and it isn't
good enough to chase after. Instead I am going to use it as is and replace it
with dedicated record units like mackie's, alesis or other's units as they come
out and use the computer for what it does best which is computing. I can still
edit a track when I need to and add what needs to be added but this chase of
technology has fooled most and stifled others. How much work do we get done
when we have to upgrade and learn all the time. This is about music, not nerd
fashion. 2 weeks of downtime in a year is 2 weeks of vacation that I have to
work and actually pay out for. that brings the price of my upgrades to the cost
of a new small car, even if the upgrade costs very little!!!

I sympathize with you brother! I originally went the other route for
just this reason and bought a Tascam DA-88 and a DA-30 to master to.
They've gone the way of the Spotted Owl.
You really can't win in the technology game, it's a sharp stick in the
back forcing you reluctantly forward.
On the other hand things are improving at a phenomenal rate and are
way more affordable than they would have been for the hardware 20
years ago.
I would love to not have to pay for each upgrade as well and would be
especially pissed if I were cannone, who's problems were never
addressed, but I think the best philosophy is wait till you need the
change and the bugs are out.
I just upgraded my whole computer and operating system so I could run
more tracks at once at a higher bit rate with more plug ins. Now the
new software will likely expect this level of system and tax it more
than the last. If I moved to a 24 bit 96 khz hardware system, in a few
years it will be 48 bit 192 khz as an industrial standard.
There is no winning in this game except to worry most about the music.
I've heard great stuff recorded in 16 bit recently by musicians who
had little money and less expertise at recording, but the quality of
the playing still shone through. The bad mics and micing were more
evident than the fact it was done on an Adat.

Eurodollars???
When will those U.S. citizens ever learn that there's also a world *outside* their
country?
Incidentally that mysterious place called 'Europe' is where much of your
audio-software and a lot of your best cars come from. ;)
Like you meanwhile obviously found out yourself, the currency we have in (most of)
Europe since this year is called 'Euro'. To increase your confusion however, the
subunit of the Euro is called 'cent'. (It's not even 'Eurocent' or something just
'cent'. If you ask me they rather should have sticked to the name 'Ecu' = European
currency unit, anyway. )

Yes I agree that today you have incredible possibilities at much lower
cost than in the past (with old studio-hardware).
However Steinberg's recent pricing is really annoying!
I bought Cubase at version 3.5 for 600 DM (that's about 300 EUR now)
(and was happy to get free updates with bugfixes and new features
until 3.7r2)
Just less than half a year ago I bought the 5.1 update for 129 EUR.
Though I like the 5.1 features a lot, I still considerd the upgrade price
a bit high and one of my main thoughts was that I now had the recent
version of Cubase again and would again receive free bugfixes and updates
for the next few years, just as it had been the case with 3.5.
Well, along comes Cubase SX...
The pricing for Cubase SL (the version that's to SX about the same that
plain VST is to VST/32) is supposed to be 499 EUR according to
Steinberg.
The upgrade from Cubase x.x (!) to Cubase SL is always 199 EUR.
So my upgrade path from 3.7 over 5.1 to SL would be about 630 EUR, compared
to the list price of 499 EUR for people who directly start with Cubase SL.
So along that path, I would have payed about 130 EUR (which is about 130 $) more
than by buying SL at the end of this year.
Yes of course, I did already have a version of Cubase to work with along the last
years, so that's not the same as just buying it now. All I'm saying is that if at
least the pricing would be such that the complete upgrade path for the existing
customer-base would not be more expensive than the price of the latest version,
then most customers would not feel screwed!
It's really annoying to think that I upgraded to 5.1 just about half a year ago. Had
I known that Steinberg was to realease SX this year, I would have waited. This would
have saved me the complete price of the 5.1 update, because in their stupid upgrade
pricing going from 5.1 to SL / SX costs exactly the same as from 3.7. It should
definitely be cheaper for users who use the currently latest version.
Heck, they should at least extend the reduced upgrade price to the customers who
bought Cubase or an upgrade within the last half year or even the last year, not just
to customers who bought it since March 1st 2002.
And BTW their prices keep increasing drastically. I mean today the upgrade from plain
VST 5.1 to SX costs the same as the *complete* price for the VST 3.5 I started with!
(And that's *on top* of the price I payed for the 5.1 update...)

No, I was not supposing you were putting down anyone.
I just was amazed once again at how few American people seem to be
getting the news that concerns other countries than their own.
The switch to the Euro currency with the beginning of this year was
a major event in Europe and received quite a lot of attention in European media.
As it was also covered on CNN more or less intensively, I was astonished
that someone would assume that 'EUR' stands for 'Eurodollars'. That's all.
Re-reading your lines above, once again: It's EURO! not Eurodollars or
anything else. ;)
Well, as I said I agree that it's a stupid name for a currency. But that's the way it
is.

You're digging yourself deeper and deeper in that hole that has a sign

Hint: it's called a Euro. Dollars are American. Although the word itself
has roots in German ("Thaler") and Dutch ("Daalder"), and maybe other
European languages.

Well, this is getting off topic, but as an American (United
Statesian?), I can say, that if one only relies on our corporate media
for news one isn't going to have much of a clue what is going on in
the rest of the planet, nor what people in other countries think. Its
*very* embarassing, and I'm sorry we are this way.
Our local cable TV offers News World International for an extra $5
(that's dollars) a month. Coming out of Canada, its mostly Canadian
news (which gives a different perspective from our news), but also
shows English language German news, Asian news, and others.....
A good magazine for Americans is the World Press International.
The internet offers plenty of news and perspectives from other
countries if one bothers to look and read.
The Euro was obviously a BIG BIG deal! (How could it not be? Its about
more than just currency-- almost a move towards the United States of
Europe, isn't it?) I remember talking to my family about it last
Christmas as an example of the difference in news reports between the
American corporate media, and other news outlets....
And to get this back to Cubase..... I'm still using 3.7r1 or whatever
it is. So, do any of you who upgrade to SX wanna sell me your 5.0
upgrade?? :-)
Oh... I know.... soon we'll have threads about the hassles of dongle
returns....
And to be honest, though I am honest and buy software I use, I would
indeed use a cracked version-- if I had it-- as I seem to have to
hassle with the dongle every now and then and it bugs me......

Considering that in Spanish the name of Mitsubishi's car model 'Pajero' means about

In the US, you can drive as fast as you like so long as you can afford attorney's fees. In
fact, you can kill your ex-wife with multiple stab wounds and get off if you have the cash.
Our ex president came (no pun intended) from a state that does not allow oral sex and as the
world now knows, Monica Lewinski (spelling?) made him the HEAD of our nation........ so to
speak:-) And to think we all thought HE sucked! Finally, cursing on TV is not all its
cracked up to be. Its more fun to bleep out words every now and then. Then you can bleep out
words that you don't want to be heard and folks won't suspect that you are covering up
important information.

The Euro is destined to be refered to as EuroDollar in due course, so I'm
not going to flame you ! It's also destined to fail unless the UK joins.
We trade more with the rest of the world that Europe (any other figure has
been doctored.. we trade more with the States than we do France and Germany
combined).

That hip hop stuff has enough annoying bleeps in the background

Well, you'd probably need friends to tell you them but if you ever spend time in
Miami you will find that there are a lot of sailors around. The biggest joke among
them is that the 2 worst groups of sailors in the world are Canadians and French.
God forbid you meet a French Canadian. Other then poking fun at all of you for
being over emotional thieves there really aren't that many jokes. Well, we do
laugh a little at your cars too. Something about French Design with English
wiring. (I talk, I own a Jaguar... come to think of it, the door locks aren't
working right!) I've never heard of a complex named after an American Leader and
who would have built a tower so big and never put walls on it? We pick on the
English but even the English pick on france. Snails? Frogs? !!! Not even in our

I think the speed the technology moves is dictated by competition. If

I don't think that changing the engine is a minor thing. So it's not like
they could have changed it out in the background. Instead of starting with
Cubase 5.1 and inserting the Nuendo engine, I rather think they started with
Nuendo and added in the Cubase MIDI features. Unlimited undo is deceptively
difficult to add to a program that was not designed for it. It touches every
aspect of a program. I'd think that Nuendo was designed for multiple undo
from the ground up. So it's much easier to just junk Cubase 5.1 and go to
the Nuendo engine.

It kinds of surprises me to hear people complain about software being
upgraded. First, you don't HAVE to upgrade, so it shouldn't affect you.
Second, I think it's a plus that you CAN upgrade and be able to pay less
than the full price again. You can't do that with your hardware. I own a
Mackie 1604 VLZ mixer. When the 1604 VLZ Pro version came out with the
better mic preamps, I couldn't have just upgraded. I would have had to pay
full price to get another one. It'll be the same with hardware recorders.
It'll never be any better than it is (except for perhaps firmware updates).
Jim
Danny Taddei
actually like advancements in software but I would thing there is a better way
to do it if you want a loyal customer base to stay loyal.
I paid $500 US to upgrade to 5.1/32 from 4.0. 4.0 was upsetting because I first
bought it, then score, then vst/24 only to find out that my registration card
was never received by steinberg. That meant that even though I bought 3 full
versions of the software, including the highest version, I had to pay the
highest amount to upgrade to 5. When I got 5/32 true tape, I played with it and
found that the only feature that really was worth upgrading for was the
automatic cross fade and surely everyone here knows how easy it is to do that
manually. To say the least, I felt cheated.
Many of the plug ins that worked on older versions of cubase don't work with
the higher ones. I would expect them to and I would expect steinberg to see to
it that they do. I want more from my money. I want truth in advertising. I
bought true tape to find out all it really is, is a per channel use of
something a lot like magnetos, a plug in that I already own. The deception
about pushing overs into analog sound is criminal. If there was an over it
would be an over at the converter level and would be nothing but digital noise
by the time it got to cubase. I could go on but I will spare you.
I want the little things fixed. Enough of us have paid well to have that. When
something drastically different comes out we are forced again to pay. The
choice of not upgrading is not a choice. Cubase 5.1 is not even compatible with
cubase 5.0. During the recording of a commercial for Encititas Ford that I did
lately, the guy I was working with could not use my files because he had 5.0
and I had already updated to 5.1. It nearly killed the entire project. It isn't
a professional way to do things. If there is an update that isn't compatible
that should be disclosed before I buy it. In many industries the sellers would
go to jail for a similar offense.
There are too many dedicated units out there that sound great. I am keeping
what I own but the next time I add to my studio, it will NOT be cubase.
danny
js33
I agree with you completely about the overhype on the VST/32.
I originally purchased that at $579 and then started reading this
group and realized I could use plain VST and it would pretty much
sound the same. So I took back 32(unopened) and got the plain
VST for $279 and have been happy with it. So that has been my
total Cubase investment so far not including the LM4, Pro52, B4,
and Waldorf PPG wave.

The former. The intention of the Euro is manyfold, mostly political. There
is every indication that it will be given the 'eurodollar' moniker in the
next hundred years by which time it will also be known as the USE. The
whole concept is outdated.. the World has changed significantly since the
late 1920s when the idea was first conceived. 'It' is bullshit....(ie:
following the spirit let alone the law of the USE, sorry, EU, I should
legally be able to buy my English SX upgrades with (cheap for me to buy
Euros) from anywhere in Europe (directly from Steinberg in Germany or a
music shop up a mountain in Italy). I have my doubts. We'll see!)
But this is a music technology ng so better steer away from politics... :)

It sounds like it's alot more than just another

means to people in Europe other than a

For what I, almost anything out will more then cover it. I didn't realize that when
I started and my goal was to only have a small studio back then. (I use to have a
larger operation in LA california but shut down due to theft in 91) I started
building my gear back up in 1998 when I stopped a 5 year vacation that I had been
on. Back then cubase seemed like the way to go. Now, I have tuns of outboard gear
again plus a 48 channel mixer so all I really use cubase for is a record deck. Life
is so much easier that way. Not everyone can afford what I have but really, no one
needs it either.
2 inch 24 track machines have dropped so much in price I am about to buy one again.
When I do, cubase will be strictly for editing.
I still like cubase. I just won't buy into the incompatibilities anymore.

Seems just as hard to believe as the assumption that Club-Cola from the former DDR

Somehow Great American Beer simply seems as probable as the Perpetuum Mobile.

Hm, never cared to trace my ancestry back that far. My parents are German, I know
that. So I'm an n-th generation German, where n >= 2.

Wow, that sounds like it really sucks. I'd think that they could have done

Yeah, I never expected true tape to be anything useful. That wasn't the
reason I upgraded. One thing I don't like about true tape is that it's not
an effect that you can add later, such as a plug-in. You have to record with
it. I assume they made it that way for marketing reasons.

Oh, really? I didn't know that. Although, I don't know that I'd expect
plug-ins based on an older version of the VST API (VST 1.0) to work. But I'd
expect all VST 2.0 plug-ins to work.

I didn't know that either. That sounds like a legitimate gripe. I wouldn't
expect, for example, version 3.7 to read verion 5.0 files. There were new
features put into 5.0 that 3.7 didn't know about. So it shouldn't be
expected to read them.
But there weren't any significant changes from 5.0 to 5.1, only a few
plug-ins were added. (Hardly a version change, really). So I'd expect 5.0
and 5.1 to be able to interchange files. Anyway, I'd think you could just
uninstall 5.1 and reinstall 5.0 to work on your project. Very inconvenient,
I agree, but possible.
It sounds to me like version 5.1 was just a way for Steinberg to keep the
Cubase name visible while they worked on SX behind the scenes.

Sorry to hear about the theft. That sucks. I guess you had
insurance to cover the loss? Yeah I got into CuBase because
I didn't want to buy a room full of outboard gear. I was intriged
by the idea of having a professional sounding mutlitrack recording
studio on my computer. We're close but we're not quite there yet
compared to outboard gear. I like Cubase but I haven't really got
into the meat of yet and spend most of my time just playing my VSTs
and Gigastudio instruments. I think the new version and the next generation
of computers will get us pretty close to a real studio.

1) Make sure that you know what your computer limits are. In my case I had a $5000
limit. It turned out that all my keyboards, samplers, (of course computers) digital
effects and even my multi track unit had some from of micro chip in it. That chip makes
it a computer and so when I lost everything I could only collect $5000 back for the
whole lot. The rest (17,000) was collected on cables, snakes, racks, microphones and
other little things that I was lucky enough to have receipts for.
2) I would have been totally screwed if I had not had a commercial policy. I had just
changed it over about 8 months prior too! If you don't have a commercial policy and you
have ever made money with your equipment, or if you are trying to, then your personal
policy will not apply to your equipment. If you write your equipment off as a tax write
off for instance, you need a commercial policy or you can't collect.
Here's the good news. BMI and ASCAP have policies you can buy that are built to order
and actually cost very little. Look on the web sites or call them up and get the
numbers. My wife handles all of that for me so I don't have details. http://www.bmi.com

I have my u-8 functioning with XP on a laptop and am short of the u-8 tuner and u-8 controller applications to interface with cubase!
Please if you have the software please make a copy to transfer to drop box or google drive please!!
Thank you most kindly!
