Cubase 6 headaches

2/8/2012

3 Comments

 
Last night, I spent the entire evening trying to figure out what was wrong with my Cubase 6 MIDI sound generator HALion Sonic SE. I kept getting messages that the plugin was not loaded and cubase kept crashing due to cascading error messages. What a nightmare!  I'll cut to the chase; here's what I discovered:
  • Cubase 6 comes with a  "Trial Version" of HALion Sonic (among others), VST plug-in, and the program defaults to this when adding instrument tracks.
  • Once the trial period runs out the program starts giving you errors that HS is not licensed.
  • Then if you try to load HALion Sonic SE (which comes with Cubase 6) you start getting tons of errors telling you presets are missing.
  • THE FIX: I had to uninstall HALion Sonic, then reinstall HALion Sonic SE, then when the preset errors come up, click the remove button about a hundred times and VOILA... HALion Sonic SE now loads and works perfectly!
Thanks Steinberg for this fricken VST nightmare! I suspect this issue is engineered failure to make users throw up their hands and shell out the $250 bucks for HALion Sonic!

Well, my suspicions confirmed: the Cubase tech guy answered my inquiry with instructions that I needed to uninstall Halion Sonic and destroy all the HS presets (which is exactly what I did). Do you think it would be copasetic for them to tell you that BEFORE you install the trial versions? I wonder what percentage of Cubase users actually give up and purchase the full versions when the trial periods expire... hummmm!

Now with that off my chest, I have to add that as a Digital Audio tool, I really do LOVE Cubase. But as you can tell I think their sales tactics are quite despicable and time consuming.
