Using 11 for a while now. No issues, problems or crashes.

Updated from C10 and i'm liking the little improvements everywhere.

I also recently got a new system so cannot compare efficiency.

Is it a new Mac?
I’d love to know how Big Sur is working out on Cubase 11.
I’ve heard there’s a massive performance improvement.

having the tempo track inside Key Editor is huge for me, also the implementation of curves in the controller lanes saves time

No, Windows machine. i9-9900.

So far I only found one small bug. In the Steinberg Hub (recent list) the right-click option "remove from list" does not work anymore.
I save many old versions and backups so this could become cluttered very fast.

not yet supported. Big Sur stuff requires the new architecture. I would caution high expectations of improved-over-10.5 performance under Catalina.

They migrated forum to another platform. Looks like all data were migrated. But links from Google search are dead now

I'm still haven't received my package yet

It got stuck in the "Transit"! Damn you UPS NZ!

It took 5 days to come from Germany through Honolulu to Auckland, and today is the third day and it still says (in Transit).

It is pain in the arse till you find their support email! While Thomann has really a good service, UPS is a trash!

I really liked what they did in Cubase 11

I like most of the upgrades and updates. Let's see when I can get it (if it is not "lost")!

I am thinking of purchasing a 2nd Cubase (Elements) license to upgrade from an AI license I recently got. I also use Cubase Pro 10.5, which I'll probably upgrade straight to 11.5 next year.

Does anyone know if Cubase Elements (or the upgrade) ever go on sale and around what time of the year? I do know there is the summer sale but afaik that only covers Artist and Pro.

Also, I remember reading something about geo-location related issues a couple of years back, so will a downloadable upgrade purchased from sweetwater work for someone outside the US, as it's a little cheaper than buying direct from Steinberg. Or is there any other site where it's available cheaper than sweetwater (50 USD)?

Lastly, I couldn't find specific information about how the included sound content for Halion Sonic SE and Groove Agent SE differs between AI and Elements. Though Elements has enough to keep me going till I eventually upgrade my pro license (scale assistant, sampler track 2 etc), I would still like to know if the content is the same as AI or the differences, if any. It's clear that it has fewer instruments and effects than the higher versions, and also missing HSSE add-ons like Flux and Trip, but apart from that it's not very clear what else it's missing from the higher versions and/or if the included content is the same as in AI.

I did search and the info I found pertains to higher versions of cubase i.e. Artist and Pro, and not Elements.

Yes you're right and I'm aware that I'd probably have to wait till spring/summer for an upgrade/update atleast as it relates to Artist and Pro, and I have bought both upgrades and updates on sale in the past. But the info I found both on kvr and web search again does not mention Elements, and it appears the upgrade to Elements rarely if ever goes on sale. Or it's just something I never noticed before, and haven't found anything that clearly mentions there being a sale on the elements upgrade in the past, which is why I'm asking.

But yea 50 bucks for the upgrade from AI to Elements is not a bad asking price as is, and I'll probably just buy it soon unless there is a year-end sale (also doubtful so close to the release of 11). So getting some idea of the difference in included sound content between AI and Elements would also be useful. I did read after my last post that Elements contains the Artist/Basic set for HSSE, so it is similar to Artist (with the exception of Flux and Trip), but don't know how or if it's different from what's included with AI. It also appears that Elements requires 25 GB of disk space as compared to an apparent 20 GB for Cubase AI, so it appears there are some differences, which might just be the extra stuff that comes with version 11 or other things too. Either way, it would be nice to know and would be a nice extra but I'd mostly be buying this for other reasons anyway (like scale assistant, sampler track, channel strip, more included FX and sidechaining, more tracks, quick controls etc).

I have just checked when I did upgraded my Elements 10 to 10.5, and it was 29th of last year November! It was 40% of the upgrade (it was also from AI and LE editions). Anyway, my upgrade was U$25 I think. I don't know how much from AI.

Well, I think for U$50 is a good upgrade for Elements 11! The new Elements has sidechaining as I read, so only midi tools are still missing (mainly), but not a big deal really as all VSTs these days have Arpeggio!

From other hand, I have finally received the upgrade! Yes, it only works with AI version (6 and above). There was some a glitch in the activation, but luckily I wrote the activation code (I had only the download code!) from the error message and I could activate directly into the e-licenser manager. It seems great. Can't wait for the .1 update!

Thomann seems to have great Cubase 11 Pro upgrade pricing from AI and Elements. I think you also have to buy an elicenser because it's not included in the box.

Regarding Thomann, the dongle is included in the box (Cubase Artist upgrade from AI).

Thanks for the info. I thought it was the case and it's good to know for certain that the updates from older versions of elements do go on sale. Wasn't sure about the upgrade from LE/AI/Essential but it appears you're confirming that too. Though I most likely missed it this year either if it was in summer or November last year. Though I'm guessing you probably bought it in summer and used it in November, as the summer sale on updates/upgrades is pretty much standard from Steinberg. Either way $50 is ok so I'll wait till the end of the month to see if there is any promo (maybe from sweetwater) and update.

Seems that apart from Steinberg only Sweetwater has the downloadable licenses available.
