- CUBASE COST MONTHLY UPGRADE
- CUBASE COST MONTHLY FULL
- CUBASE COST MONTHLY PRO
You pay and you can expect one year of updates. For example, Magix has a kind of subscription model for graphics or video software. Subscription is something that is good for the vendor, not for 90 % of the buyers… It’s also an open door to immoral rules. And then the updates became less and less interesting (a new button, a bug correction…) then they stopped all of this and kept my money… At the beginning SONAR gave us monthly interesting updates, then asked to pay more. I would never like to see this with Steinberg. And it was a “kind” model (you could keep the software after closing your subscription). I came from SONAR and the beginning of the end came with that subscription model.

CUBASE COST MONTHLY PRO
The only thing that would make me hesitate to continue with Cubase Pro is subscription. In fact, the more i think about it, i’d probably give it a few months trial to try the products that Steinberg offer beyond Cubase Pro - a 30 day trial isn’t enough for me to know if i’d use a product or not, whereas a subscription plan that you can dip in and out of is.
CUBASE COST MONTHLY FULL
If you add into that full versions of Steinberg products and libraries (Such as the Sphere plan) - then for many people it could be an amazing entry into Steinberg products. But that doesn’t mean i’d hate on it like most who only have their own self interests at heart.Īs i see it, more flexibility enables a wider range of users to whom a one off payment of $500 isn’t economically viable.
CUBASE COST MONTHLY UPGRADE
Not for me personally as i prefer to upgrade and pay when and as i want. Personally i think it would be quite an attractive package. Steinberg have the option of throwing in Groove Agent, Halion etc. Look at Studio One and their Sphere offering - happily co-exists. I think it will happen, and it won’t affect users who want to carry on with the perpetual license either. But the option to full-pay per version should still exist. This would at least allow financially disadvantaged individuals to use the software immediately or periodically and eventually own it. The only acceptable format similar to subscription, is rent-to-own. Will never give Adobe another cent, they are the only company I “yarrr matey” from. Reaching out to their support, they lied to me and said “we don’t have those files anymore”. They removed access to all patches for previous version of their software from the support website, etc.
CUBASE COST MONTHLY UPDATE
Was going to update everything to CS6 or latest version and they switched to Sub. I spent a lot of money on Adobe CS4 Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc, etc. Not considering that someone may only need base features, and not the bs bloatware add-ons released monthly means they are forced to pay for what they don’t use instead of only paying for the software once = morally and ethically irresponsible and greedy Not considering that some people creatively and philosophically want to avoid “being connected”, avoid distractions, avoid data mining, etc = ethically and morally irresponsible not considering that subscription w/ monthly validation also requires someone to be paying for internet = morally and ethically irresponsible Not considering that some people might have off the grid projects or lifestyle = morally and ethically irresponsible Force feeding updates, and add-ons and bs to justify/validate the subscription = morally and ethically irresponsible Forcing creative people to have to think about money every month = morally and ethically irresponsible Forcing creative people to be connected to the internet = morally and ethically irresponsible

Subscription model is just pure evil and ethically morally bankrupt.
