To upload this to VST Transit, you select the Projects page in the window, which lists all of your cloud–based projects. Now, let’s say you’ve been working on a piano sketch of a musical idea and you want to share it with somebody else to flesh out the instrumentation. You can also upload a representative 30–second audio clip and specify whether other VST Transit users will be able to view your profile. The VST Transit window contains three basic pages, and the first one - Profile - is where you’ll enter your location, the languages in which you’re able to converse, skills, instruments and genres you’re able to contribute to, as well as a short description of yourself. This means there might be around a week of time over the course of the year when the service might not be available. This is all fairly standard stuff, although the line I found most intriguing (and not uncommon for cloud services) was that “Steinberg guarantees availability of the service for 98 percent of the year”. The policy sets out what Steinberg are offering and essentially absolves the company of any liability to any “indirect and consequential damages” you might suffer by having your data stored via the service. After this, you’ll choose a VST Transit user name and accept Steinberg’s privacy policy, which I clicked on out of curiosity and found to be mercilessly brief. The VST Transit window often takes a moment to appear while it downloads the latest version, and when it does you’ll be prompted to log into your MySteinberg account. To get started, select VST Transit from the VST Cloud menu (which also contains the VST Connect sub–menu that’s been relocated from the Project menu).
#WAVELAB 8.5 GETTING STARTED FULL#
In order to use VST Transit you’ll need to have a full 8.5 licence associated with your MySteinberg account - VST Transit is not available if you’re running a trial version, which is a shame. This doesn’t sound like much to me, especially on the traffic side, so it’s no surprise that Steinberg intend to offer premium accounts with increased storage and traffic, although these had yet to be announced at the time of writing. To whet your appetite for this new way of working, VST Transit comes with 500GB of free storage and 1GB free traffic (the amount of data you send to and from Steinberg’s servers) per month. The big new feature in Cubase 8.5 is VST Transit, which allows you to upload and download project data to and from the cloud, and is intended to make collaboration easier than ever before.
Most apply to both Cubase Pro and Cubase Artist, and in this review, references to ‘Cubase’ will include both unless otherwise stated. That’s not to say there aren’t any big new features - far from it - but this release is more about refinement, offering a large number of workflow improvements. December 2015 was the occasion for one of the latter, so it’s to be expected that it offers fewer big new features than those introduced in a full integer version.
#WAVELAB 8.5 GETTING STARTED UPGRADE#
It doesn’t feel that long since Cubase 8 was launched, but Steinberg seem to be committed to an annual upgrade schedule where major integer releases are alternated with ‘point five’ updates.
#WAVELAB 8.5 GETTING STARTED UPDATE#
The latest Cubase update connects Steinberg’s DAW to the cloud, but also brings plenty of improvements for earthbound users.
