Allister Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 never really been a fan of cubase, more a protools (audio) and logic (midi) kind of guy. but if i didn't get student reductions on pro tools i probably wouldn't have brought it. but it all comes down to user preference really.

midinut Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I ordered the Cubase 7 upgrade last week. I've been using Cubase since SX or SL. Still using C5. Upgrade won't be here until the 19th, so I can't give any advice about C7 until after I've installed and played around with it. But I've been very happy with Cubase for many many years overall. It works very well with my way of working.

zahush76 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Me too. I'm using cubase 5, and still am very happy with it. I think it was the significant "jump" from cubase 4. C6 and C7 - i'm not convinced i have a reason to upgrade. Vermona Perfourmer mkii, Nord Stage 3 76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Force Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Dan, I am on Cubase 6 and considering the upgrade. The Mixer changes look interesting, and since I skipped 6.5 doing the upgrade now might make sense.

Jim Alfredson Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I just downloaded the trial last night. Gonnna install it today and see what gives.

Jim Alfredson Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 So I went to install and it's updated a bunch of plugs (PadShop, etc.) and I'm worried about 6.5 compatibility, so I canceled the install. Anyone know if 6.5 is still fully functional after the trial period runs out? I'm worried about those updated plugs. Keep it greazy!

Jim Alfredson Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I took the plunge. 6.5 still works fine. Man... I don't know. The new mixer is fugly. And everything is so dark. I know you can customize the colors but ain't nobody got time for that. I can't get over the mixer, though. I like the groupings on the side, but I don't like the overall look nor how everything is in a completely different place now. Blah. Keep it greazy!

DanS Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'm on 6.5 as well. I'd heard that there was a few issues with some of their hardware. Since I use the CC121 & UR824, I didn't want to take any risks. Everything's running well at the moment, maybe I should leave well enough alone.

Jim Alfredson Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'm getting more and more used to the mixer. It is very flexible. I'm figuring out ways to tweak it to my liking. I can see myself getting to like this. Working flawlessly with my Yamaha N12 / Steinberg MR816x (I already updated the drivers a few weeks ago; they released new Cubase 7 compatible drivers last month). Keep it greazy!

zephonic Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 It has a few features that were long overdue, view all channel settings in mixer, channel strip, drag and group channels and a bunch of other stuff. gear list.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjzingo Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 it's one of the few upgrades that has been worth every penny-the new mixer is suberb. Really dig the ne long meters, the lowpass on the in channel not to waste a channel on filter. Also zooming in on mixer channels and groups of channels are great. I've never fancied the built in effects but I kind of like the new vintage compressors and the eq built in. I can highly recommend c7! fred /Fred Cantaloop Soulfetch Soulbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midinut Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The mixer is one reason I upgraded. I totally like the idea of having my mixer on my second monitor while I do everything else on the main screen. Also, I'm using C5 now and it has HALionOne. My understanding is that HALion Sonic is a huge step up. Also, PadShop looks good but I do have Omnisphere for pads. I like the idea of the channel strips with pretty much everything you need right there without digging too. It won't get here until Tuesday, but I been reading and watchin' tubes.

Steve Force Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hmmm. I like what you are posting about the mixer. Tell me, can you actually decouple the Mixer from the app and move it another monitor, or do we still need to expand Cubase out across available monitors? Does my question make sense? Thanks. In the meantime, I will do some digging myself. Steve Force, Durham, North Carolina -------- My Professional Websites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjzingo Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I use my mixer on one large monitor and keep the lanes on my macbookscreen when mixing.

WIth Cubase you have always been able to detach the mix screen.....at least as far back as I remember. I don't see how. I don't mean expanding the Cubase application to span two monitors and then have the mixer on one; rather, completely decouple it from the Cubase window. If I am missing something please show me the way! thanks. Steve Force, Durham, North Carolina -------- My Professional Websites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midinut Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 So you can't just open the mixer window and grab it by the title bar and drag it to your other monitor? I seem to remember in one of the videos I watched the track window being on one monitor and the mixer window on another. I smell shenanigans. lol Hardware: Yamaha: MODX7 | Korg: Kronos 88, Wavestate | ASM: Hydrasynth Deluxe | Roland: Jupiter-Xm, Cloud Pro, TD-9K V-Drums | Alesis: StrikePad Pro| Behringer: Crave, Poly D, XR-18, RX1602 | CPS: SpaceStation SSv2 | Controllers: ROLI RISE 49 | Arturia KeyLab Essentials 88, KeyLab 61, MiniLab | M-Audio KeyStation 88 & 49 | Akai EWI USB | Novation LaunchPad Mini, | Guitars & Such: Line 6 Variax, Helix LT, POD X3 Live, Martin Acoustic, DG Strat Copy, LP Sunburst Copy, Natural Tele Copy| Squier Precision 5-String Bass | Mandolin | Banjo | Ukulele Software: Recording: MacBook Pro | Mac Mini | Logic Pro X | Mainstage | Cubase Pro 12 | Ableton Live 11 | Monitors: M-Audio BX8 | Presonus Eris 3.5BT Monitors | Slate Digital VSX Headphones & ML-1 Mic | Behringer XR-18 & RX1602 Mixers | Beyerdynamics DT-770 & DT-240 Arturia: V-Collection 9 | Native Instruments: Komplete 1 Standard | Spectrasonics: Omnisphere 2, Keyscape, Trilian | Korg: Legacy Collection 4 | Roland: Cloud Pro | GForce: Most all of their plugins | u-he: Diva, Hive 2, Repro, Zebra Legacy | AAS: Most of their VSTs | IK Multimedia: SampleTank 4 Max, Sonik Synth, MODO Drums & Bass | Cherry Audio: Most of their VSTs | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 You have to expand the main Cubase application window (the window that encompasses all the other sub-windows) across the two monitors. Then you can put whatever sub-window you want wherever you want. What Steve is asking is if you can keep the main application window on one screen and just drag any other windows over to the other screen, without having to expand the entire application. The answer to that is no. Keep it greazy! B3tles - Soul Jazz THEO - Prog Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjzingo Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Is that different between mac an pc, on my mac ive never needed to put my main app on another screen just drag over the mixer window. /Fred Cantaloop Soulfetch Soulbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacedout Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm on 6.5 on Windows - don't know about 7 obviously, but for as long as I can remember I've had the mixer on a separate monitor without maximising the main window across two screens - what you need to do is set the mixer window to Always On Top (by right-clicking on it). You can then drag it outside the main window, and resize the width as you wish to stretch across an entire monitor. The mixer disappears while another program is in focus, but I don't find that any great hardship. Actually, the same goes for pretty much any other windows you like - plugins, VSTi editors, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
