Yeah this is pretty lame. What I usually do is click on the track adjacent to the one I have selected and that will scroll the visibility pane into place.Well it seems that the Visibility Tab now is synced with the track selected in the project, I think that's new.
EDITED: Well it's the same! The Visibility Tab IS synced with the Project but doesn't scroll to bring the selected in focus!With my 800 track template it's a lot of scrolling.

All my preferences were transferred to 11. No problem. Rock solid. Really nice improvements in the Key Editor. Tested also Logic 10.6 today, not really anything new, just bug fixes, so I stay with Cubase, just hope, that Steinberg would fix all the longstanding “bugs”, they seem to forget working on the “Scale Assistant”!
Dumb Question.. I downloaded all the Cubase 11 Pro files (Windows), like 20 of them, to my storage drive. I then closed the Download Assistant.
So, if I open up that directory and launch each *.exe file will I be given the opportunity to install the programs and more importantly the content (Samples/LARGE files) to a directory of my choosing?
Also, what does Steinberg call the data files?
So the sample content, in other words all the large stuff?
I need to make sure those are stored on a different drive than my OS or storage drive.
Thank you!
P.S. I did read the thread but saw several different methods and was confused as to what worked best for me.

OK! Clean install and as far as I can tell the disable bug HAS BEEN FIXED in 11.
I wish I knew what low-down dirty good for nothing preference was causing issues.
Now for the joyous task of reassembling all my LE/PLE and keyboard shortcuts!
Thanks for prompting me to do this @jononotbono !
Also I'm noticing Kontakt opens and instantiates much, much faster in 11 - it's worth the upgrade just for this!

I am not sure what 'files' those are in your preferences (previous) - but couldn't you just copy those over to C11? (save the defaults if the 'problem' was in one of those)
At this point I'm not taking any chances!

Its why I posted how to do this. Been there too many times and it’s the only way. Honestly, I have so few problems with Cubase. When I see people complaining about a lot of problems, it’s because they haven’t done a clean install.
The only thing I copy from previous install are PLE, LE and Keycommands.Then I redo all prefs. When I open a project from a previous project, I will then save my colour preset as default so I don’t have to copy that xml file either.
Anyway, congrats on your latest steps into a better life

Too much gear, not enough composing. Oy vey.
I've always installed the newest, then uninstalled the older. IDK, maybe it doesn't matter but it seems like the developers don't touch preference files and such when a newer version is detected. That is TOTAL speculation of course!

OK, since it's the weekend I'm going to do something incredibly daring (better term would probably be stupid): I'm going to download and install the new Windows 10 20H2 update, reboot, then install Cubase 11 Pro. Not even going to see how 10.5 rolls after the Win10 update. Who's with me, for self-inflicted pain?

One of those, you know, necessary instructions, like the one written on a foldable cardboard sunshade I used to use in my car: "Do not drive with sunshade in place". I wish I was kidding. Embarrassing.

Steinberg wants to install to default folders on the C: drive , but you can choose another location when installing. The Steinberg library manager also lets you move vstsound files, after they've been installed.
This might help..

This is the bit that always makes me nervous. I never have the cubase libraries on my C drive and have used the library manager to move them.Steinberg wants to install to default folders on the C: drive , but you can choose another location when installing.

I’m never sure that a new installer for a new update will take that previous version library location into account.
Thank you for the info. Well, I will try, it seems.

Hey NYC Composer. The CPU strain is definitely a little less on C11 than on C10.5, at last on my system. But it is not that much. Maybe 10% - 15%, depending on the session, etc. With Cubase and Logic I am running everything internally with disabling/enabling tracks. Logic on my 2019 MacPro still uses about 60% to 75% percent less CPU! But I'd say Cubase 11 is well worth the upgrade price IMHO. The new stem exporting options are amazing... the updated sampler track is awesome to use as well... Lots of stuff to like... But as a Mac user I think my own thoughts are more evolving around Logic Pro vs Cubase to be honest. Not wanting to get into any DAW discussions here, there's great music being written on any of the big DAWs but just from a performance perspective on a Mac I think Logic would be the logical choice so to speak.

Interesting - I'm on a 10 core iMac Pro and posted earlier that I though C11 was much better than 10.5. That turned out to be false when I went back and tried a couple test projects on 10.5 as well as 11. However, in playback of 3 test projects (relatively low track count of CPU intensive VI's), Cubase has consistently equaled or exceeded(!) Logic here. On the other hand, Logic seems significantly better on live (record armed) tracks - the same VI/patch where Cubase performs better in playback of multiple tracks of that patch.
I'm left with 2 huge reasons to stay attached to Cubase - cross platform given the uncertainty with high end ARM Macs and Cubase Control room. The control room functionality has turned out to be a huge convenience in using Sonarworks. I can set up my monitors and 2 different headphones with correct Sonarworks corrections, switch between them easily and never have to worry about bouncing down and forgetting to disable Sonarworks on the output channel. I know I could achieve something similar with complicated bussing in Logic (or some environment trickery) but CR is so easy in Cubase.

Hello and hola...a Brit in Spain
Just a personal thing...but when I opened Cubase 11 for the first time, I was hoping the rounded corners on the UI would be gone.
Nooooo! Still there!!
I know this doesn´t affect the sound and is a small thing, but it´s so inconsistent...
Example from the chord pads:
The corners are all different. Some have bigger corners than others.
Plus, some of the inner black lines are square, and some of the inner black lines is rounded.
Other buttons and tabs over the whole of Cubase are also a bit random.
Just square everything off Steinberg!
It will look much cleaner
