I’m a bit too OCD about that, unfortunately. I’d rather do that than have the redundant software on my machine. I will wait to upgrade when there is an Initial Full Installer for download on the website. People should be archiving their installers, anyways, when the package is this large. I can see how downloading everything to get one thing is a PITA, but those smaller pieces can be offered on the website - or everything can be listed under the monolithic archive in the Download Assistant. I don’t have to sit there and click 50x to get it done. I come back later and run main the installer, set a few paths, press install and walk away. With the Cubase 10.5 installer, I start the download and go do something. The result of multi-queued downloads is often not mathematically cleanĪnd then, there is the actual installation of those packages, which are attended and must be done one by one - complete with many UAC dialogs, etc. Often, 1 file is like 18MB/sec, and 10 files is like 250kb/sec. It’s faster, and more convenient, to download one 30GB installer than it is to sit in front of the computer and attend to 25 different installers, since you often get throttled speeds when you try to queue up too many downloads of them at one time. And now, there are exactly the opposite voices. I have heard so many complains about the large Full Installer and the fact you always have to download everything (the full package), even if you need just one part. Is there any way to get a monolithic ZIP file that installs everything in One Shot like Cubase 10.5, but for Cubase 11? It’s not an improvement over how Cubase 10.5 is packaged. Otherwise, I’m going to have to run 25 different installers. You know what, since they’ve basically taken the IK Multimedia route when it comes to packaging the installer… maybe I’ll just keep everything installed… That will be annoying AF, and likely to happen often. Plus, I tend to launch most applications from Search, and the fact that Cubase 10.5 will have been there longer (and 10 < 11) means that when I press Win + “Cub”, Cubase 10.5 is likely to be what I launch when I instinctively press the key. Downloading the packages will take the most amount of time, Lol, but I suppose I can do that ahead of time, anyways The only thing I’d hate losing are a ton of VST Plugin Thumbnails and custom VST2 Plugin names (manually edited into the XML Config file, cause a string of “ VendorPluginName_圆4” is unsightly to see in the browser).Īll of the other setup stuff I can replicate in about 15-20 minutes, so not a big deal. Customers who have activated Cubase Pro 10.5, Cubase Artist 10.5 and Cubase Elements 10.5 or earlier versions since October. I’m not willing to find out the results aren’t in my favor. Various downloadable updates and upgrades, crossgrades, and education versions are exclusively available through the Steinberg Online Shop. I don’t want to have to remove an old version after installing a new version, as that has the potential to cause problems. So, I’ll wipe everything off and install 11 from scratch when I upgrade.įor me it’s less about also about how “strict” I am about PC maintenance. I don’t like redundant applications on my computer. I generally don’t want two versions of Cubase on my PC. There cannot be any conflict, it’s just the one.Īs far as I remember, I haven’t seen any conflict based on two (or more) Cubase versions installed at one system. Groove Agent 5 is the very same in both versions. Cubase 10.5 and Cubase 11 are two different executable files, as I said. Steinberg does not want to lose its customers who have Cubase 11 (((We just bought Cubase 11, but did not fall under the grace period, having paid money for Cubase 11, still pay for the update, I think many will not want to, like me (((.I might just wipe everything and reinstall everything (Cubase Pro, Groove Agent 5, etc.) from scratch just to avoid any potential issues or messiness when I decide to upgrade. This means you get all the latest features for your version and can enjoy. Then there is the second question, is it possible now, on pre-order, to buy an upgrade to Cubase 12 with an 80% discount? And will there be interesting upgrade options for people like me? If not, then I think to stay on Cubase 11! Think Any Cubase version can be updated to the latest generation with an affordable update.
