Hi folks,

I am using Win 10 with a 32" 2k LG monitor (3840 x 2160). Bitwig 5 is my major DAW and I can do the scaling adjustment to fit my monitor without changing the resolution in Windows. However, with 3840 x 2160, the inspection/tracks of Cubase 12 pro and S1 6 displayed a bit small to my eyes. I couldn't find any scale adjustment in their menu. All I did was adjust the Windows display resolution to 2560 x 1440 before I started Cubase and S1. Have I missed the screen resolution kind of setting in both Cubase and S1? Please advise.

Cheers!
Cowby

What scaling are you using in Windows? Isn't the OS also a bit small? Just curious about the setup and how it looks. Both programs scale according to the OS and should be OK, if the OS is fine.

Cubase 12 can be scaled in Preferences > General under HiDPI settings. You have a drop menu with follow OS scaling and +/- 25% and +/-50% as possible options. Some plugins seem to scale according to the OS and disregard the host setting, though. Also, there are still some artifacts on the tracklist buttons and other places with scaling other than 100%, 150% and 200%. Cubase 13 does not have this issue.

Studio One 6 shows the scaling under Options > General, but I was unable to change it, seems to just indicate the scaling set in the OS (changing it on Win indeed changes the setting there as well).
