Cubase 11...dropping in 1 month time?

I was able to activate today.

First impressions:
- Not a single setting carried over from Cubase 10.5. In fact, it's all reset and there is not a single logical preset in C11 (even the ones that are always there by default). Will have to transfer everything manually...
- HiDPI on 125% is fine, except for all buttons, which are still upscaled and blurry. Plugins open fine - some scale, some don't, but the window size matches the plugin UI, which happened to be a problem previously.
- Can't add folders of tracks to the stemming export task. Have to open folder and add tracks manually. An obvious thing missing, I guess it will come in an update.

More impressions, when I have patience to transfer all settings.

Windows 10, 20H1.

...So am I to understand that the HiDPI support is still half-baked in?

Yeah that's what I've never liked about each version jump in Cubase/Nuendo - none of your settings and presets are transferred over, and doing it manually by finding all the folders and transferring them over is really a pain in the ass.

Still cannot fathom why releasing new "toys (insert/sends proc/fx)" is far more important than fixing bugs?

Is there any logic behind it?

Undoubtedly because that one is difficult or impossible to fix (without maybe creating other problems).

Well...no. But I am disappointed.

I feel the same... but to be fair, it's not a Cubase only problem. It's an Windows eco system problem and a big part of this is, that for some reason only Apple did a duplication of pixes on the same screen size, and in the Windows world we have to deal with 4k and odd factors.

I'm so jealous of the 5k imac display but I don't want an imac otherwise. :dancedance:

You have to hold cmd (Mac) or ctrl (Win) + up / down in order to move notes chromatically. The up / down keys alone are reserved for selecting staves.

You can change the display quantize settings in score settings and then save them as a staff preset in the lower left corner. Then just load the preset before editing.

The cmd + up doesn't work on Mac in the score editor. And even if it did, it doesn't make much sense that the command would be different in the key editor vs. the score editor to do the same thing.

Staff presets are nice - but you can't make them the default. You have to still change the preference for each stave. Not to mention Cubase's default interpretation is not particularly good.

Unfortunately ye olde disabled track bug is still present ;-(
Other than that so far the transition has been pretty painless, been using 11 most of today with no issues outside of some of the bugs carried over from 10.5.

That bug will always be there unless you build a brand new template unfortunately.
 
I see many are frustrated they have to try to port over all their preferences to the new Cubase. If you set up a Profile in your previous Cubase install you can export this and import it into your new version of Cubase and all your preferences are ported over to your new Cubase. Hope this helps.
 
Crashed this morning opening a project I created in Cubase 11 last night. Had some trouble loading Pianoteq for some reason. Opened fine the second time. Have noticed some random crashing or endless beachball spinners.

Good to know. Just exported my current profile. Only 682KB? (SRF file) I periodically save my preferences folder and that is MUCH larger than this. Sound right?

Strange, I'm on Mac and in my Cubase 10.5 cmd + up / down does move the notes in the score editor - it does this since I first used Cubase in version 4. Maybe you have to assign this key command yourself... in the key commands dialogue you can find it in the nudge category. In the Cubase manual in the score editor section is written:

Moving by using key commands
Instead of dragging the note with the mouse, you can assign key commands for this:
  • The corresponding commands can be found in the Nudge category in the Key Commands dialog.
  • When moving notes to the left or right using key commands, the notes are moved in steps according to the Quantize value.
    The keys assigned for up/down nudging transpose notes in semitone steps.

The fact that it is a different key command than in the key editor is due to the fact that the up and down keys are reserved for changing the staves... maybe one can change that also in the key command editor, I don't know.

I have tried starting a small template from scratch, got the same advice for 10.5 and that unfortunately didn't work either 🤷‍♂️

Strange. I thought this bug had been ironed out. Did you cleanly install Cubase? As in, followed my steps in my previous posted whereby no previous Cubase settings were migrated automatically but renaming your previous Cubase prefs folder so when installing a new version of Cubase it couldn’t see any previous version installed?
