Dear Cubase customers,
I would like to give you an overview about the next update of Cubase 4, which will introduce enhancements and address the issues listed below. Unlike our last hotfix, this update will be officially supported and will go through the full Steinberg test cycle. Of course all previous fixes will also be incorporated, and we will provide you another build of the 64-bit preview version for Windows Vista 64 as well.
I will keep you updated about our progress, but as we are in the latest test phase now, it is safe to say that the update will be released sometime around end of August / beginning of September.
Thanks for choosing Cubase!
