What's new

Cubase 9.5 - First Look

Just the VST 2 ones - my 2.4 and 3 versions of Iris 2 work fine
No, very few of my VST3s make it through. Just Trash 2. Not Alloy, Insight, Iris, Nectar, Ozone 6 or 7, RX3 or 4, etc. I'm on a Mac running El Capitan. A quick google search shows no rhyme or reason or consistency (yet) in what setup gets what blacklisted. But many have experienced this I guess with the Izotopes.

Oh, I'm on Windows 10. There aren't AU versions for the Mac?
 
The update runs smooth here and loving the update and also disappointed that the new cc editting is only for the automation, but otherwise it runs good with the exception of the elicenser, which took me 4 times to run the maintenance tasks, run as administrator in windows 10 before it stopped nagging me about all kinds of things and issues.
 
Not sure what to make of this update. Nice new features, but none game changing for me (and others like me) as a heavy midi manipulator. If those curves were implemented with CCs, it would be a different situation... the old automations were not something holding me back. Nor do I need the control room always opened, I am sure I'm gonna keep using it in the mixer. Don't care about plugin makeup either... offline processing, great, but I dont mind adding one more track... Midi into sample track, another nice shortcut, sure...

This larger amount of inserts is actually making a problem for me, coz my workflow is based on using the project window as much as possible and avoiding opening the mixer. I made all of my midi/audio routings in the inspector and have all the inserts, sends and faders there opened all the time for every instrument/articulation. But now, with much longer insert list, with AFAIK no possibility to hide some of them (like in mixer), fader+sends+inserts don't fit in my 1400pix hight of the screen anymore. A slight bummer... :unsure: I guess I have to write a feature request for the next release, hiding not-used inserts in the inspector.

It seems to me that this update is heavily featured towards one side of the studio production, and not really for the other, which is kind of a shame for me coz I would say that the other (midi) side is something that made Cubase huge. Focusing the market part that is less covered, and neglecting the part that you own, is kind of lame to me. I say, make them all happy! I am just romantic like that! :inlove:

I went and bought this update the moment I saw it, and I will continue to do the same for every next one coz Cubase is my DAW of choice, a great tool that makes my work possible, and I am really not a guy who normally complains about someones work however it affects me, I am happy about other people getting the features that they wanted, the features that I am gonna use for sure, but...I guess I am just little sensitive to corporate strategies and stuff :P

What you mean?

Some Mac users have had issues with a slow, jerky playback, a long delay when using tools like the scissors and just a generally sluggish UI. It's been so bad that I've had to move over to Logic for the last year. It appears this may have been fixed in this released.

After playing around for a while, it seems to be a pretty solid version with some welcome improvements.

Although I'm surprised to see the beta testers in the Steinberg forum are responding to new bug threads by calling them 'known issues'. Why release it earlier than usual then? Fix the known bugs first, or at least let users know what the bugs are rather than us having to discover them, then have take the time to post about them on forums. It's still a paid update, after all.

For now I'll be sticking with Logic. Most of the new features in Cubase 9.5 already exist and I must admit I've become really used to smooth scrolling and zooming using gestures on my Magic Trackpad, but maybe that's just me :).

Man, if someone could confirm this has been fixed it would make my day.

With VEP5 yesterday evening it didn't connect the VEP instances, but was tired and left it, then w10 applied the fall creators update (Tried to delay that with 3 days as prompted, but apparently Microsoft has a different view on what is 3 days, but that as a sidenote) and this morning the project loaded without any problem. I have not upgraded to VEP 6 yet (not using it much anymore) so dunno if my problem yesterday was just a minor thingie or that the VEP problems are related to w10 or the Cubase update and while typing I have no idea if this actually any helpful at all :grin::cautious:
 
Vep6/win 10 C.U and CB 9 works, the only change is CB9.5 and the damn thing refuse to load old projects. so strange
can't find anything why this should be a problem:mad:
the strange thing is CB9 loads a few instrument and the freeze

Loaded C9.0.30/VEP6 project without any problems. All of the Cubase user prefs transfered, only had very minor key command transfer issue for now.

Most of my plugins blacklisted when I upgraded to 9. I just loaded them back in anyways with no more crashes than usual.

On a side note I hope we get curves on CC data next.

Thanks, Daniel. Yeah I was upgrading from 8.5 so Sentinel was new to me. On kvr, I found last year's 9.0 thread about it so finally up to speed now. Seems the Sierra upgrade may help with Izotopes.
