Cubase 10?

[chk071]

Since when do mobile devices lack a USB port? I actually use Cubase on my laptop, BTW.

That's not the thing though. The thing is the never ending complaints by a very small user base. Cubase has a dongle, since 20 years. Get over it, and use something else. Easy. Complaining on internet forums won't change anything about it. Steinberg devs aren't reading this. Steinberg CEO's only go by sales figures. Cubase is still one of the, if not THE best selling DAW's there are. Going by the never ending rants by a minority of users (or non-users? After all, they're arguing that they won't buy or demo Cubase, because of the copy protection), you may have such figures confused.

Welcome to KVR, BTW. Not sure how far bragging about using warez, and chiming in to join the never ending, pointless, stupid rant about dongles will get you here, though.

Man, my aspirations of becoming a KVR big timer are dashed

Honestly the thread was productive before I joined, I seem to have upset the natives. I'll back away slowly and cease attempting to engage in this community, like the DAWs there are plenty of other fish in that sea.

Oh, hmmm, people bitching about copy protection are a dime a hundred here, one supposes.

I have one dongle that got thoroughly mangled when the laptop got accidentally bumped to the floor.
I don't know what the solution is though.

Steinberg has a zero downtime function, you can access via your My Steinberg. Get a new license and put it on your new dongle.

I have no problem using a dongle with my desktop.

I hate using it with a laptop though.

Suggest using any dongle with a laptop on a cable, or on a small hub that has a cable, saves the dongles and the port when they get bumped. Having it plugged directly into the computer trouble often follows.

Unrelated Cubase Tip ... yes, you can stop those annoying "would you like to create a midi track" message every time you load a VSTi, .. finally, that message was a plague, but I found out you can turn it off in preferences.

Thanks for the tip. I haven't seen those. I'll have to look into it.

I just mean something like this little travel hub ...



They also make like a usb octopus cable that is just a cable that fans out into three or four usb connectors that do the same thing, just something flexible so it doesn't crack when it gets hit.



Or even just a short USB cable ..

Now a another passenger walks by in the train or airplane. A short pull is enough to change ownership of thousands of dollars worth of software. And the best thing is that he is now the legit owner of all your software as he has the dongle. No chance to get it back.

And all this just to stop people from stealing software. Great concept. What a joke.

[chk071]

Um. You normally have your eLicenser registered to your account. Of course, there are options in a case of theft. https://helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/de/a ... ongle-Key-

You know, i do understand people's objections against dongles, what i don't get are such desperate, uninformed argumentations, which only display that there's an objection, no comprehensible, factual point. There are good arguments against dongles. Most of those that i read here frequently are none.

You'd think the VST instruments write themselves and that nobody has to eat, or sleep indoors, to make them.

You have no idea what you're even talking about. If someone steals your eLicenser dongle (I've had mine stolen, I know) you can go to My Steinberg and do the zero downtime option. And in so doing, kill your license(s). Then they will issue you a new license and you put it on a new dongle.

Now, I had my computer stolen at the same time and there was an activation I had not used, the thief or the recipient of the computer, slightly clever, was able to log on (via the Chrome recall of logins) to MS in order to hijack my account; and Steinberg has yet to help me with that. So there is a possibility thru their system of losing it all, albeit that is a rather perfect storm of failure. But if it's an activated license on a dongle, your scenario is easily dealt with.

We are quite off-topic, note very well. I wonder if there isn't an anti-dongle thread somewhere on KVR, as though tailor made for that crap.

I know it won't happen but it would be nice to see Dorico Element integrated in Cubase Pro 10. I don't understand why there is no offer between the 2 products

I could see some level of integration between the two, even if just an improved notation editor. It would be a nice value add to Cubase and give it an edge over other DAWs. Then again, I thought for sure Presonus would've done the same thing with Notion and they've kept the two programs separate for reasons I just can't understand.

[Phorous]

I would like to see more UI improvements / builtin effects and instruments updated to the new GUI style. Its almost guaranteed that they are going to continue in that direction

Its a great time to be a Cubase user
