You can see there’s not even 12 months of active updates there, 0.41 was just a fix for 0.40.
CUBASE 11 MAC M1 UPDATE
There’s normally one final update - and that’s it… Very rare do you even see 12 months of updates. Historically, when a ‘paid for’ update of Cubase is released every 12 months the door is shut on updates for the previous version. I hope none of this comes to pass because every time I’ve seen a vendor try this kind of thing, nothing good has come as a result.Ĭompanies like Avid and Waves struggle as they make foolish decisions in the eyes of their customers.īitwig and Studio One show that good things do come as a result - one offers a subscription model and the other is using the 12 month update plan method.īoth DAWs offer perpetual licensing, and both receive decent updates, and both are on an upward trajectory. For those needing it, should be worth 3-400USD/year (5-600 for Nuendo). I have no idea if the customer base of Cubase / Nuendo can support something like this. The whole customer support thing is stellar and I actually became friends with people in their team. Usually, if it’s not some huge thing, it’ll be solved in the next build (that is, a week or two). When you submit a bug, you have access to a customer portal that lets you track the bug. Once in 2 monts there would be a milestone “Production build” that becomes the new bottom line build and so on. They would have new builds each week with minor fixes and developments. You would spend 2000USD on a perpetual licence and then 1000USD / year for support and upgrades.

The software in that field lives in very different price brackets.

I spent a lot of my professional life as a visual effects guy and I’m used to some software there (Houdini, specifically).
CUBASE 11 MAC M1 UPGRADE
I guess it depends on the quality of support, otherwise should stay as it is: you pay some reasonable sum for an annual upgrade and God help you if you need support. Okay, but what are you willing to pay for then? It isn’t smart to anger them arbitrarily. A lot of us will fight to the death to avoid subscriptions. Why should I start paying you monthly for a bunch of stuff I will probably never use.” b) you haven’t made any appreciable improvements for years. Many of us looked at the various Waves plug-ins and said, “a) I barely use these. And actually, their “offer” might not have been quite so brutal, but that’s how it sounded to the user base. But once Waves declared that you had to subscribe to the whole library or you were cut off, that’s a whole different proposition. It was the proposition of free choice versus a gun to the head. I made a choice without a gun to my head, and I was OK with that.
Nonetheless, I previously chose to upgrade the support plan every couple of years, “just to stay current”. I really don’t use them very much because the capability built into Cubase and StudioOne covers most of that well. They were priced at a level that made sense. I have accumulated a collection of Waves plug-ins over time – not a large number, but 6 or 8 that came in handy on certain projects. A riot ensued and Waves was forced to retreat, but probably lost many customers in the process. If they are thinking of anything along those lines, they’d better have a look at the mess that Waves created for themselves recently when they tried to force everybody onto a subscription basis. Perhaps that they will move to a 12 month style service agreement plan
