Huge sale on Cubase 10 - 50% off for new purchases or crossgrades

[dellboy]

I keep getting a pop up window asking for Cubase to be registered.

Does anyone know if its best to register it (its already activated) or should I permanently dismiss the popup ?

Are there any advantages or disadvantages to registering or not ?

Even if you register it on Steinberg's website (do the synchronize and maintenance stuff in eLicenser), it will keep asking you to register it. I'd permanently dismiss it.

If you need tech support, you need to register it.

I got that a couple of times until I noticed the 'already registered' button, which I pressed.

I honestly don't understand people that use multiple DAWs. Pick one and learn to use it really well. Getting yet another DAW another tool in your toolbox is not going to make a change and enable you to make that great new thing that will make you stand out from the masses. You are better off investing that $200 into a ticket to SXSW and trying to meet people and make contacts.

I doubt many people do "use" multiple DAWS, at least for the majority of their production its going to be one. I used cakewalk/sonar in the 90s, then alongside Reason in 2000s (which wasn't a DAW for the longest time). Then switched to Reaper and Reason. Then tried to go pure Reason for a number of those years because they started focusing a bit more on the DAW, plus I came from a hardware background and the rack is second nature to me. For the most part worked ok, but grew less confident in Propellerhead with the silly choices they made, and the lack of good ones they didn't make. Then back to Reaper with Reason rewired because Reaper matured significantly and Reason was still the same. Now Cubase.

This is is 20+ years learning 3 DAWs and trialing others for a week or so, with each daw being learned and focused on during its "primetime". Now Cubase, and it will take me a couple weeks to hammer in 95% of what I'll use it for, specifically it will round out the midi editing and pitch adjustments that required multiple tools before. I think this is how most people "use multiple daws" if they are serious into making music, regardless if its for profit or fun.

theres also folk who will use say fruity for tracking everything, then mix in samplitude or somesuch.
just for the different mindset to work

(just examples, no one uses fruity...)

I'm not sure that's true, but I would register the dongle holding it anyway.
Before this sale, I didn't have Cubase on a registered key, had lost my entire access to my key due to theft, and I took out a support ticket on Saturday. They got back to me before noon Monday. The error, a known issue before Saturday in fact, had been fixed. They wouldn't know, I don't believe. Of course this is not extensive technical support (which I have never needed; in the early days I had an installation problem which got sorted by phone).

I have asked for support quite seldom over 16 yrs, but regarding the two, now three times, I don't think anyone has checked to see if I was registered.
The most impressive support I've ever seen was for a broken dongle after the phones had been abandoned eve of an observed holiday, sorted that afternoon by email and I didn't even have a MySteinberg at the time.

[Bombadil]

Well,

That is what the guy on MacProVideo said in one of his tuts in Cubase 10-101. Seems a prudent thing to do, in any case.

I have a dongle that I used for the cubase pro 10 demo. If I buy cubase pro 10, can I use that same dongle?

Make sure the eLicenser with your Cubase licence on is registered and appears in your My Steinberg page. Not only is this required for technical support, but you really need to have registered the eLicenser to get help if an eLicenser is lost, stolen or stops working.

If the eLicenser is registered, click the "Already registered" button that has already been mentioned, which dismisses the reminders.

I see. That sort of makes sense. I have looked at some of the functionality of FL Studio and see some of its strong points. I wonder if it makes more sense to just get Elements and get another DAW. I have been seriously looking more into Ableton as I hear that workflow is very very fast. I always stayed away because I thought it was a DJ tool. But I also made the same mistake with Maschine many years ago. I thought it was a EDM DJ tool, but after I got it and figured out how to use it, I live and breathe by it.

Mick Gordon uses FL studio and Live for sound design. Then mixes his tracks in Pro Tools. That’s three different DAWs. He’s the hottest composer in the games industry right. If you’ve played Doom or Wolfenstein you’ve heard his work.

Go with Bitwig, makes much more sense and cost less.
