Bottom line, the Internet has shown conclusively that if people can take something without paying for it and get away with it, they will. Unfortunately, I can’t steal a plumber’s work, but he can steal mine. The way I see it, if I should work for free, then so should my plumber. A great many people these days don’t feel like they should have to pay for intellectual property (just look at the music industry). I pay the bills as a professional software developer, so I’m all too familiar with the attitude towards piracy. The way I found out about all this is that I had AI up and was getting so much done I forgot I was in AI.īy the way, a philosophical note regarding software licensing technologies. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if the AI version was completely sufficient for many people’s needs. Whis is not an issue for my scenario since AI is for performance. That said, this is the way it works today, and I believe that applies to any unsupported feature. This behavior is by design, but the Steinberg guys have submitted an enhancement request to the developers to not permanently alter the project in this manner. However, if you save the project in AI, it turns those features off in the project forever, even if you open it back up in the full version. Some features, like the ability to have a tempo or time signature track, are not available in AI, you have to use the full windows. One thing you need to be aware of that I discovered a couple of weeks ago. So, I do my work in the studio with the dongle, and then copy the projects to the laptop for playback. It’s a limited on the feature set (although not by a huge amount), but doesn’t require a dongle. However, I have a few Steinberg audio interfaces (UR22 / 44) and they shipped with Cubase AI. The thought of dragging a dongle around into a bar with drunken customers (and sound me) makes me twitch. In addition to recording, I use Cubase at FOH for live performance. There’s another option but it may or may not be relevant for your scenario.
