Cubase 7.5 to Cubase 10

[vignesh.vijay]

And I am asking the opinion of others from their perspective.
They wouldn't be able to say anything pertaining to me. It would be from their point of view if they are willing to share.

You are on KVR. Here people will force, flame and persist on their point of view. You can see for yourself. Even after you added valid question in valid place - ton of offtopic nonsense and they are dissecting your question (and should it exist) in the first place.

Surprisingly one answer was normal - try the demo. My opinion is that it's worth it.

On your position be sure to trash (and backup) Cubase 7 preference file because Cubase 10 (trial) will attempt to "import" your preferences from Cubase 7 and sometimes this can screw Cubase 10 experience. It's in their forum.

Actually you better ask same question on steinberg forum. Freedom of talk does not exist there but at last people does not argue over should someone ask something or not like on KVR - therefore steinberg forum topics drift less in nonsese then here.

Good luck.

For me, and considering you are coming from 7.5, it is totally worth upgrading. New things are simply too many to list here. One of them alone simply would justify the upgrade for me - the new plug-in management (VST Plug-In Manager), which you don't have in 7.5.

But I second others suggestion - run the trial and judge for yourself. Before, read what was new in Cubase 8, Cubase 8.5, Cubase 9 and Cubase 9.5 There are a lot of new things to check.

Beware that Cubase no longer supports 32-bit, nor 32-bit plug-ins (bridging is gone).

Are you serious?

I have many 32 bit plugins in my program files x86 folder.

Yeah, there's no more bridge in Cubase. You'd need a third party bridge like jBridge, if you want to continue using your 32-bit plugins.

I think it's really worth it to upgrade, but it's not really worth it to upgrade.

There's a Windows work-around involving keeping a couple of dlls from a Cubase install that still handles 32bit VSTs, but for the life of me I can't remember which two. A quick google should find it.

I would like to reinforce, remove your C7 preferences, at least to the desktop or somewhere other than its normal location, before running the C10 trial. It will inherit preferences from a prior preferences folder, and there are some major differences, especially from C9 forward, and some of these will make no sense now.

That sounds reasonable.

I was trying to be somewhere in the middle because it would have been a waste of effort being anywhere else on this one.

In all seriousness, my point was that anybody can say anything, and at the end of the day, it all means nothing. Taking the time out to do the research (reviews, product videos, trial version etc...) and making the decision for himself would be the ops best bet. No one can make that decision for him. Ultimately, beauty is within the eye of the beholder.

Is Cubase SE supported for upgrade to Cubase 10? There's no mention on it on their site.

It looks like you can only upgrade from Cubase versions 4 or above, for older versions you will need to pay the full price.

If I removed my preferences from C7, how do I import them to C10? How do I successfully migrate from C7 to 10?

IIRC version 8 or 8.5 added some cpu smoothing or something.. I think performance improved with whatever they did.

And there have been other minor additions here and there along the way.
