Well, to try and ease that feeling - I'd say (as they have done in the past) they will release a free update patch to v8.0.30 for those wishing to stay put for the foreseeable. May be available later in December (guessing).?

Of course, the paid v8.5 upgrade may be all ok at release (early December..?). But I wouldn't be surprised if that too needed a further patch, to bring full El Capitan goodness, which would ship alongside the above later in December...

Yes you are correct, Cubase 8.5 El Capitan compatible version will be released/announced on the first week of December and it will cost $99 us.
Meantime, Stenberg just announced yet another disaster - all their audio interfaces are NOT El Capitan compatible...
So what we are left with is "project importer" from iOS devices is still compatible, but with what Steinberg app... ?! At this stage - NONE.
Not to worry though, $99 coming soon...

Avoid activating the license - if you did more than 5-6 weeks ago it's too late.
And not sure 7.5 - but to 8.0 which in turn would not be activated yet, so it might.

I know i sweden many shops still list 7.5 boxed versions, so..

Thanks! Guess I'll hold off.

Any hints yet on what the upgrade will include?

Nope. Leslie seems to know something about it, but I can't find anything more.

I'm not so sure anymore - felt it was weird that the dutch site backed down to 8 for clinic dec 18th.
I mean the interest to sign up must lower quite a bit compared to having brand new dot-5 release.

So it may be delayed - or not....

I heard a rumour of Retrologue 2, but also more promisingly a lot of smaller workflow improvements and under the hood stuff. The latter is what most of us are after I guess.

Dec 2 or 3.

Hey guys, I heard 8.5 is at our door real soon. and we get

- Smart tool - Double right click insert note, double right click on it deletes note. Drag up/down for note velocity change (to quickly adjust velocity while drawing), left/right for length

- Insert effect per event region (as in S1)

- Folder track as Audio bus/Group track

- Macro knobs in Quick Controls - One knob can control a few parameters

- Automation improvements (as in FL studio)

(just dreaming ey? don't wake me up!)

+1. Looking at Steinberg behaviour in the last few years, I'm pretty sure a new paid version is very close and it will be required for El Capitain. Maybe they'll release a final update for 8.0 after a few months, like they did with previous versions.

I hope the improvements are worth the upgrade, regardless of the os support (I'll be stuck on Yosemite for a while, because of some hardware and software which is not ready yet).

In a real dream we would get the ability to transform MIDI to audio, cut chop paste mangle the audio, and then transform back to MIDI, just like Studio One.

Its even better than that - Ed Doll (Steinberg Support Manager) posted on the SB forums saying a FREE update for those users wishing to stay at v8.0.xx that will bring them El Capitan compatibility, is planned for release on 22 December 2015. No waiting 'a few months' for it - just three (and a bit) more WEEKS... (ok, yes I understand - all you MAC folk are thinking you have surely waited long enough already...). But hey, its nearly here.

So, you won't be forced into buying an upgrade you might not need, in order to just get compatibility with Apples latest and greatest, if you don't want to... There'll be no 'requirement' to have to pay up.

Cheers,

Conspiracy? I think not.
