Cubasis 3 - BUGS (on topic)

I thought (hope) it would be a good and helpful (hopefully) idea to make a thread that focus ONLY on bugs,NO CHATTER please.Make it as easy as possible for @LFS to track down bugs.Keep it simple,keep it short.

Please provide the following infos as well:

Are any 3rd party apps involved?
Did the issue appear when using CB 3 on its own?
What iPad model/iOS system?
Free iPad memory
Can you reproduce the bug?


bugs:

1.Reopen C3 does not reload Rozeta Xox (driving Ruismaker),i have to unload and select/open it again.I can reproduce it every time.Just close Cubasis and open it again.

2.Freezing a track in real time (tried it with the same combination of Rozeta XoX and Ruismaker)
results in a glitchfest wavefile.Also reproducible every time.

3.The hickup at the beginning of a loop....we all know this,no need to explain further :wink:

No other apps running,ipad pro 10,5,a LOT of free memory,ios 13.3

  • Yeah the official Steinberg Cubase 3 forum seems the place for bug reporting, so maybe this thread could be just to blow off steam from our frustration :wink: I really like Cubasis a lot and have pretty successfully stopped using Reaper and my desktop computers and am now just using 3 iPad Pro’s for everything, so I really really really want Cubasis 3 to be successful!

  • Hi Crabman, Hi all,

    This is a very great idea!

    If possible, it is of great help for us, if you could use our bug form below.

    Thank you for your support!

  • Hi @LFS ,about #3

    When C3 is set to loop play (with couple of AUs but it's enough to use just one i.e, pure acid with a kickdrum on the first beat it's best noticeable).When the loop starts again it creates a"doublekick" on the very first beat and the timing goes slightly off for the first 1-3 beats of the first bar,after that it runs fine again.I try to provide an audio example later.

    sorry,i can describe it better in german (i know you understand this Lars ;) ) :Cubasis"stolpert" am Anfang eines neuen Loopdurchgangs ein bischen.

    About the Steinberg Forum: i know it exists but for most iOS musicians (and me) this forum is still the number one source and Lars is very active here as well.I really think it doesn't hurt to run a thread like this as long as it srays free from all off topic stuff!!!

    I apologize if this would be seen as off topic, but a key development item for me is getting the Cubase importer done for the new Cubasis 3. Ideally, I’m hoping that Cubasis 3 will allow smoother passing of projects both ways back and forth with Cubase 10 in general. (And +1 on the Apple Pencil).

    THANK YOU to you @LFS and your team. You have the patience of a saint haha 😂. Long time Cubase/Cubasis ecosystem customer here and very excited with the release of Cubasis 3!!

  • @LFS, thank you for your hard work! Here’s a little bug:

    Summary/Title
    Wrong note being highlighted while changing note’s velocity/position using the buttons on the left

    Description
    Select a note, then add another note to selection and remove it so there is only the first note in the selection. Press velocity button and swipe over the selected note.
    Expected Results

    Actual Results

    Environment
    iPhone X, Cubasis 3.0.0.42

    Also it would be nice to be able to hide bottom velocity row to expand piano roll a bit on small screens.

  • Hello everyone,

    When I copy a midi segment of a track, and paste it on the same track, that segment does not sound ... the instrument is microsonic ...

    Anyone?

    Had same issue with copied audio events on the same track. Resolved after deleting not sounding events and pasting them again

  • 4 more ...

    • The piano roll is extremely small every time you open it.
    • Midi over Bluetooth it keeps the connection but stops sounds on some occasions.
    • Every time I freeze a tack, the first 2 or 4 bars don't are recorded.
    • There are no layers either in midi, or in audio, and the grid is not visible below the tracks, this makes it almost impossible to align them when you are cutting and pasting pieces, and hidden events may remain under a piece of track, if you do not glue the All track.

    Thanks

    In the original post it, would help @LFS out a lot with organising stuff if we all report bugs in the same format, then it doesn’t matter as much which channel it comes from.. :)

  • edited December 2019

    Cubasis are having their break, is this an opportunity to get bugs in the au’s filtered out, no doubt some bugs will be with inconsistencies in the AU implementations..

    Not so sure on effort for IAA, it’s going, what’s the point, better to press those IAA only Apps to go AU, IF the studio environment is what you’re after.

    I’m sure @LFS will provide any support needed to devs

    There are plenty of people here who are beta testers for other apps and au’s, any who can help with reproducing issues and giving fruitful feedback I’m sure would be appreciated by our usually respectful community.

    @LFS

    Hi Lars,things are a little more complicated than i first thought.i recorded some audio examples as well,link is at the end,i want to explain first ;)

    1.The"doublekick"in the beginning of a loop happened so far only with pure acid (audio file attached).But i tried pure acid with Auria and AUM without a problem..

    2.The drunken shaolin is back :(

    Whe i opened my test project this morning the timing from digistyx and Rozeta+Ruismaker was all over the place like back in the old days.Then i figured out it has to do with latency setting!
    I changed the latency to highest (11,,6ms) and the timing went south.Switched back to the lowest and its good.But thats not a solution for long..2,6 ms latecy is nice but i`m sure it will kill the battery quite fast

    ONE expection: pure acid was running without timing issues bo matter what latency setting,lol.Okay,one issue...the double kick.

    So,this time i decided to think positive instead of going mad about the bad timing.Deep down in this app IS a stable clock so i hope it`s easier fixable this time ;))

    Here are the audio examples:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/hvuhrtvdnegcznl/C3 Tests.zip?dl=0

    One more thing:The bug with Rozeta XoX not loading::it happened twice now that it DID load after i started cubasis but most of the time it does not.

    cheers

  • Just checking with other users before I make a formal report - Anyone else unable to import wav files from AudioShare? I keep getting an error message no matter how short or long the sample.

  • edited December 2019

    I’m getting an insane amount of instability in general, I have a ton of video of it Lars if you’d like to view it. I used it for a few mins, seemed normal until I actually tried to do anything, prematurely left good review. I have absolutely none of these issues in Cubasis 2.
    Very frequent hangs/crashes
    Audio inputs don’t work half the time
    Group channels in mixer cause tracks in group to not show sound levels in mixer
    Apple Pencil doesn’t work
    External inputs from audiofuse interface don’t seem to work at all. Outputs all work through audiofuse fine.
    Also, I don’t request refunds like ever, but when I have to there was no prob, but I can’t get a refund at all, my reason of “this app is totally unusable" is apparently not justification for a refund. This app is way too much money to not work, let alone not be able to get a refund.
    I understand that app launches can be problematic. I also understand iOS has been plagued since iOS 12 w audio problems, some of which still exist in 13 to some extent. This is what I’ve dealt with since I bought this 3rd gen pro. And I’m not just placing all the blame on app devs, I know apple has done their part in not caring about a lot of these issues, while many devs are unable to really do anything about apples os issues, and they are the ones that lose money when people get mad and stop buying audio apps/plugins.
    But it’s kind of different when the app like doesn’t work enough to do anything at all... I spent quite a few hours trying workarounds and such but still couldn’t even begin to record anything. Everything seems fine until you try to input signals, with or without an external interface.
    Back to just using good ol reliable AUM routed to Ableton live. If possible I really would like a refund, I’d be happy to pay again in the future when this is usable and has midi learn for the mixer and transport and such.
    Edit: I’ll say that the time stretch algorithms seem to work great, on a positive note lol.

    Summary/Title

    Undo history remains unpopulated after using the app for a few minutes

    Description

    I encountered this error after opening up a very simple test project that I’ve been using to learn Cubasis 3. The project consists of one MIDI track hosting the AUv3 of MV08 and one instance of Rozeta XOX sequencing MV08 on the same track. I edited some track automation of one of MV08’s pitch parameters, recorded Rozeta to the MIDI track, edited the track automation further (nice that it will overlay on top of the MIDI clip!) and decided to check the Undo history, but it was blank.

    Expected Results

    I expected to see at least some of my recent actions Undo history.

    Actual Results

    The Undo history list is blank/empty.

    Environment

    iPad Pro 12.9 (3rd gen); iOS 13.3

    Update: I closed then reopened the project and the Undo history list was populated

  • Summary/Title

    Deleting track caused DSP spike, glitched sound, then loss of audio/silence

    Description

    I encountered this error after deleting a track I had duplicated. The project had two tracks: (1) MV08 hosted on a MIDI track with a switched off Roseta XOX; a MIDI clip; and (2) a MIDI track hosting Tardigrain with a MIDI clip. I duplicated the MV08 track to try running it through another instance of Tardigrain as an effect, didn’t like the sound, and deleted the duplicated track. Upon deleting the track playback stopped, I heard a distorted/glitched sound, and the audio cut out. I started playback and got no sound. I attempted to play tardigrain with the Cubasis 3 keys and heard no sound. I noticed that the DSP readout under System Info in the Inspector flashed the message “silent” a few times and bounced between 0 and 100.

    Expected Results

    I expected to see the track deleted while playback continued.

    Actual Results

    Playback stopped and the app no longer produced audio. Even after several minutes the audio was still unresponsive.

    Restarting brought the audio back in the affected project.

    Environment

    iPad Pro 12.9 (3rd gen); iOS 13.3
