Hope that makes sense.Įverything is windows fault. In fact, apps still run in the background in this state when the auto-lock kicks in - if they are designed that way. The computer does not change state as it does when put to sleep or in hibernate mode. This functionality, based upon the user’s power setting preferences, also puts the monitors in a low power (power saving) mode.
What I’m referring to here is simply LOCKING the workstation so that in order to use it again you have to enter some credentials, like a password or PIN. I could see where that could cause some hiccups with some poorly designed SW, but given that most apps today are designed to run well on laptops, many of which are put to sleep or hibernate when you close the lid (instead of doing a shutdown), I would expect most figure out how to make it work. Not only can it help to detect and iron out more bugs on the myriad of different system configurations or use cases out there, it also can help create a sense of community and being involved within the Cubase user base.If by sleep, you actually mean putting the OS in a sleep state (whether you mean sleep, where the computer is put in a low power state, or hibernate where RAM is written to disk and the computer turns off), that’s not what we’re talking about here. Several other DAW vendors like Ableton, Bitwig or Reaper do exactly that.
Regarding beta: I personally think that a public beta (or semi-public) of new Cubase releases could be beneficial, if managed correctly. It seems like there is enough money at Steinberg/Yamaha to buy other Software (Spectrallayers) or trying to compete on a market that is dominated by Apple (VST Live), but not for the actual flagship product? I also suspect that the Cubase development team and the support team are somewhat understaffed (it is very noticeable with the support, which either doesn’t answer at all or only several weeks later, and I produce very accurate bug reports and reproduction sequences). My suspicion is that the bugs that get get fixed (apart from crashes, which are obviously always top priority) are those that are either reported by several people through support, or are reported by the right people (I guess that if Hans Zimmer as the most famous Cubase user reports something, there is some jumping going on at Cubase HQ…)
