![]() ![]() Obviously the Steinberg ones will be no more, but if I save one of my favorite 1176 plugin presets, how do I go about transferring the settings when I reinstall the plugins? Does this have to do with a FXP file? I've never used a different DAW before, so I'm currently very insecure about setting up the new one. My biggest question to all of you is how did you save your plugin presets that you used in Cubase? So far its been great but haven't really done any writing with it yet, Im only tracking some projects I have finished with my MPC and MIDI gear.ĭue to the extremely high price every single update / iteration and mainly due to the extreme childish negative responses on r/cubase, I will be switching from Cubase to Reaper in the next few days when I switch out mobo/cpu for a Ryzen system. I actually started looking at going back to Cubase a few months ago, but the price made me realize I should probably go back and finally sit down and get familiar with Reaper after a bunch of half-assed attempts over the last 13 years or so. They'll all get you to the same end goal, you just have to learn to work with the tools at hand to get there. You just have to learn to work with it and take the good and the bad. My whole studio is based around my MPC, Reaper/Logic is just a tape deck now, but even the MPC does things its own way. Logic, just like Cubase, does some things worse than Reaper, but at the same time also does some things a lot more efficiently, like creating tracks and assigning them to the proper ascending inputs on your interface. I do love it, I know it like the back of my hand, but the bloat I dont need (its been about 10 years since Ive even loaded the EXS24, and I have never used ES1/ES2/etc.) and now that Apple thinks that every musician is loaded with money, I have to get ready to detach myself from Apple's ecosystem which means I have to be ready to ditch Logic. Im the same way with Logic now (I switched from VST32 back in 2001 or so to Logic 5 Platinum). At 80%, it's near impossible to work, if it hasn't crashed yet. On Cubase, as soon as you go over 65% CPU load you will usually start hearing a number of crackles and dropouts. Reaper will use 98% of the CPU steadily and consistently, no crackles. I compared to Cubase, and in Reaper I could run almost 5 times more plugins and memory-heavy plugins in Reaper, on the same CPU. I've never encountered a more stable application, ever. In the end it stood between Digital Performer and Reaper, (Pro Tools was just too stiff and uncustomizable), and Reaper won out because of stability. ![]() Then, I learned that Studio One was founded by two of the same engineers that had made Cubase, and had left Steinberg. It seemed good, but it had some of the same personality that Cubase does: inconsistent performance, wobbly CPU utilization, frequent CPU spikes, bad RAM utilization, oversensitive and very crash prone graphic implementation, and the problem got exponentially worse the more plugins and tracks you added. In my hunt for a new DAW, I came across Studio One. Those cells were still flagged as occupied memory etc etc. Unloading a sample library for example, did not mean that Cubase erased it from RAM. Steiny's implementation of things reminded them of Microsofts meaning great ideas and theoretical innovations, but surprisingly bad implementations. The test guys even had complaints on how the C code libraries for the VST protocol (v2.4) was put together. It wasn't the user, although steiny's forum is still packed with people who are convinced it is. ![]() All the guys were in agreement: It was the steiny programming and implementation itself that made the application so wobbly and sensitive. They either responded that my execution of their recommendation was faulty, or their comebacks started to sound like verbal riddles.Īfter almost 10 days of work and analyzing, indepth testing, adapting, writings of small testroutines and programs, re-installing and benchtesting, trying every version of every audio driver we could find. And neither of them wanted to hear about that it didn't work. What the Steiny support told me, and the Steiny forum told me, just didn't work. I was mad and I was spending money to solve this. I hired a bunch of unusually talented computer people, seasoned middle age men, and brought in 6 different computers, 6 different audio interfaces, because I was gonna go down to the actual friggin bottom of how to get Cubase to work. Ever since Steinberg went over on Windows. I was on Steinberg's stuff since 1984, on Atari, and I had always put myself and my own ability and feelings down, for not being able to get things working. ![]()
