I then went back to 7.5…and good GOD…it did the same thing there as well! Almost as if having 8.0 in the system had messed everything up. My VST performance dropped horribly in 8.0. I can confirm EXACTLY what The Valley is saying. Many thanks for anyone who read and got interested in this. Therefore I should consider the matter closed from my side at least. Even loading time is significantly shorter. It seems that, so far at least, C8 is in fact quicker than C7.5 – as originally promised. I do, of course, have to use all the provisions for minimizing latency etc (in the ASIO settings), but this is indeed a very different experience. I just updated to 8.0.10 and all seems to still be working well.
#CUBASE 8 COMPARISON SOFTWARE#
The installation process was quicker, smoother and the software itself now seems to behave very well with the same intensive project. This time, however, the C8 experience was very different.
#CUBASE 8 COMPARISON TRIAL#
A bit puzzled, I downloaded and installed that one – I thought “I am formatting anyway, so what harm can a further trial do?”. The first C8 installer was about 6GB, whereas this other one ( Products) was around 9GB. Now, there was a difference in the installer there. I was getting ready to reinstall Windows (8.1) and start afresh, when, impulsively, I clicked to re-download C8. This was even after I had completely deleted C8. I did go back to C7.5, but after some further trials with a certain intensive project, it seemed that the ‘stutter’ problem was also present there - no matter what I did.
#CUBASE 8 COMPARISON UPDATE#
This is an update on the issue I reported above. Thankfully, it seems it has not been affected by the 8 installation as other users have reported.ĭear fellows at Steinberg, please fix this!! C8 looks indeed fantastic, and some of the handling is indeed more to my liking - but the performance issue is a deal breaker. Overall, I have stuck with Cubase forever and Cubase has always made sense to me.

I am not sure this is the way I wish to go. I tried to contact Steinberg support, but the report will have to go through some local vendor or something. It remains stabler, and much less ‘glitchy’ and ‘stuttery’ than 8. I just finished a comparison of 8 VS 7.5 on the same project, and 7.5 wins hands down. I work exclusively with vsti’s, and no matter what I did, the problem would persist: Cubase Artist 8 is ‘heavier’ and ‘slower’ on my system. Instead, I found myself looking at a slower and glitchier system when running demanding projects. My main motivation was the “massive engine rebuild” which, I had thought, would lead to a marked increase in performance.
#CUBASE 8 COMPARISON UPGRADE#
I had waited for a while to upgrade from Cubase Artist 7.5 to Cubase Artist 8 due to financial circumstances. I am afraid I will have to confirm the problem. I agree, I have noticed some graphics issues when automating panners and levels. My idea is that there are some serious GUI/Graphic issues with C8… Was almost going to buy a brand new graphic card just to increase graphic performances… but since it works like a charm in 7.0, why would I ?Īs other people said, please release an upgrade version when users can just go for it and be sure that all will work better… Every Cubase upgrade for so many years seems like an unsafe thing to do. In my 7.0.6 version, everything opened in 64bit… all works very well. Many drop outs, glitches, VST performances issues… tried so many tweaks, nothing would fix it.ĭidn’t try the BIOS thing someone posted before about turning off hyperthreading …etc.īut, amazing thing that you can open a C8 project in 7.0.6 (didn’t buy 7.5, tired of all these new paying upgrades) Using C8 64bit and rewire Ableton and FLStudio all in 64bit.
