Apparently there is a demo version of Cubase SX (though version 1 not 2) available somewhere, yet the link to the demo at:
http://www.kvr-vst.com/news/523.html
is broken, and I can't see where on the Steinberg site to download the demo. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Paul

That's maybe because this thread is 22 years old, and Steinberg being Pinnacle is a thing of yester-yester-yesteryear. And, with a mobile browser you wouldn't be able to access a ftp server URL anyway.
Not sure what you would want with Cubase SX anyway, as that version is 22 years old as well, and 32-bit only, and no VST3, and so on and so on.

Yes, Modern windows is so powerful it can't even run 32bit applications, which is where it sprang up from plus you need permissions for everything,... Butt!... Wait!... Now we gotta subscribe to shit we used to own!
I still got SX3 on XP, works great, make any music....

You'll probably need the old dongle based licensing. But knock yourself out

Requires an already installed Cubase SX 3 version on your computer!

It can run 32-bit applications. Unlike Mac OS.eLawnMust wrote: Sat Jul 04, 2026 5:15 pm Yes, Modern windows is so powerful it can't even run 32bit applications

It can ... but no 32-bit drivers. So I am not sure if Cubase SX is still usable on Windows 10 or 11. And you still have the problem with the old dongle-based licensing.

Modern windows SUPPOSED to run 32bitters but everytime someone tries there's a 'problem' which is because there's no such thing as backwards compatibility as those who CREATE the new windows never bother to check... "Let's just say 'It Is'"...
Just go on EBAY & buy a 20 dollar XP machine & you might even find the DAW you are looking for on there... Original CDs... Original Artwork... Paper Manual... Buy-to-own rather than rent-to-never-own it's hard to believe so many bought into the subscription racket... The last version before subscription should've been your last, or any version before...
So in the end there's no need to be nostalgic & say "Those were the days"... It's "These are the days" such as-
Here's recent video on how people are getting screwed massively over subscriptions-

Reaper, Digital Performer, Ableton Live etc. etc. There are plenty of DAWs and VSTs that are not subscription, you don't need to upgrade for sure, but you don't need to be some XP, Snow Leopard user either to not deal with subscriptions.eLawnMust wrote: Sat Jul 04, 2026 8:11 pm Modern windows SUPPOSED to run 32bitters but everytime someone tries there's a 'problem' which is because there's no such thing as backwards compatibility as those who CREATE the new windows never bother to check...
