Cubase.net = locked threads GALORE!!!

[arturmeinild]

What are you all crying about? I have no Steinberg dongle number, and I signed up to ask a functional question about Cubase and I got a usable answer within 12 hours. And the only locked threads I see is becuase people are too stupid to figure out posting 3.1 questions in the dedicated thread? Hehe, whatever...

stag I believe HanafiH's post was quite tongue in cheek and sarcastic in nature, just to make sure you're reading it how its meant to be read

Cubase.net has become rather useless for support, a good while ago. I recon thats why irc and independent community sites boom for tech support on a whole range of products. After all who'd bring their car to a manufacturer's sales or PR departments for overhaul and repairs. You don't need some overworked frustrated person who doesn't actually drive the car in real life situations tell you 'oh that exhaust dragging along on the concrete is a feature, not a bug. And RTFM because this car is perfect anyhow, its a user error'.

Anyway, plenty cubase users around here, so just ask your questions in the hosts forum here. If you're lucky those having a bad hair day won't even ask you if you're using a pirated copy.

Hi Markus:
RTFM was something i did before asking something, while i was using the H20 "demo" never asked a question or loged my self at cubase.net, as soon as i pay the app, 3 years ago, i loged and asked something that was bothering me, it was answered on the level by one of the mods.
The forum is wrongly mistaken with Steinberg support, it isn´t!!! where i bougth it they help me to find out solutions.
BTW i opposed from the start to a registered user forum, i think the old forum was a lot more fun, but i think now it has become a lot more helpfull to registered copy owners against my expectation... not all people are aquainted with the search function alongside with RTFM anyway.

Bye

Sarcasm? Moi?

I hope it for you

Funny, people are discussing about things they don't know really 100%(me self also)
But I think the title is about somebody who couldn't understand (I'm coming there often to search" The topic starter") then he should know how it's works.
Further more the community there foted to have no crack users there and they come with this. I think it works. I payd and getting my SX3 this Saturday. That is a lot of money !!!. So I'm glad how it's going. I don'T wanne pay for cracky's Cracky's should be put in jail

[Jaeson Merrill]

so should developers who use dongles....

[drinelli]

I can agree about Steinberg support being bad, When ever I have cubase problems I go to kvr, maybe not the most direct aproach, but at least I am not bothered with company policy, and tecnical problems regarding the Forum, But I am not delighted about those saying cubase is bad software, in my opinion it is a top product, I wont go into a discussion about it, it is just my honest opinion, and i like their upgrade/update policy, the dongle is a minor concern for me, though I admit having had troubles with it. Too bad their forum is chaos.

[Sascha Franck]

For Cubase related problems there's still the mailing list at Yahoo, which is admittedly less crowded than in the pre-Cubase.net days, but the amount of arrogance shown by the Steinberg folks is just not bearable anymore at all.

Understanding Steinbergese - lesson one:

"I've used Cubase since VST 3.0 and what I want to see in the next upgrade is..."

Actually means:

"I've paid five cents less than $2000 for my copy of SX3 and it still doesn't work..."

Anybody can be frustrated with missed/broken features in one or the other program, but before talking such a bullshit you should give some real concrete examples about what is not working.
I'm sure I can give you the same examples with other manufacturers (Sonar, Logic)

I’m sure you could too. The issue’s not so much the bugs (although really dbLaw and BUS summing in SX2 was awesomely shocking) – it’s what Steinberg does about them bugs, how Steinberg doesn’t conduct even baseline QA on it’s dot-zero releases, and how Steinberg reneges upon the promises it makes when selling new versions – these features are unique to Steinberg, and Steinberg alone. No other company in audio software has such a proven, established and long running reputation for clucking defiance.

Not a single version of Cubase since VST 3 (for Cubase users who can’t add that’s nine years running) has been finished. Every Major release of every Cubase-named audio product has been discontinued before closing its outstanding bug sheet. The nearest contender (Cubase SX 2.2 dot something or another, after an avalanche of complaint from its user base) wasn’t actually released as fixed – just unsupported hot patches released in a cupboard marked beware of the leopard.

So it’s no good waiting for Cubase SX 3.1, even it actually fixes the bugs in Cubase 3.0 (and please don’t make me publish the version history here, it’s sooo boring), the new ‘features’ leveraged into it will be so buggy as to require you to pay for yet another major number release. You won’t ever have a copy of Cubase that doesn’t have open and known bugs – Steinberg has never released one, and never will as long people keep parting with money for it.

Try that on Samplitude 7.22 users or Sonar 4 users. At least those bugs actually got fixed. With Bullshitberg, the bugs get features. Sorry if you don’t like it old matey, it usually takes two or three $400’s worth before most people start seeing what the game actually is. Assuming you can count that is.
