Cubase - Installation paths
I have just installed and activated a demo of Cubase 8.5 Pro (can't find one for the current version).
The installer is almost 10GB, some of this appears to be "content" but I did not see an option to select a folder for this. Is this a limitation of the demo? I am a bit pushed for space on my C: drive.
Other than that first impressions are good, not as obvious as Studio One for sure but MIDI options look impressive.

MIDI is where Cubase excels. It is THE DAW for MIDI people
IMO.
I don't see why it wouldn't let you pick an install path...

Exactly right about the MIDI capabilities, and also tempo editing (not perfect, but the best I have yet to find. As to installation options, my approach for quite some time is to let DAWs do their own thing. For synths and FX, I have a very clean and stable system. But I don't try to tempt unfathomable strange behavior by messing with DAW directory preferences. So far that strategy has paid off.

I just checked my Cubase 8.5 installation. I have my program on the C drive, but put all the library content on a separate Samples drive. I don't remember how I selected this, but it was not difficult. Just saying that it can be done--that is putting the large content material on a separate drive. C2

Can you share the link? I haven't found one anywhere.

https://www.steinberg.net...al-available-3528.htmlIt took a bit of finding, stupidly you need an eLicencer to demo the software. I was already using one.

I agree with this for software and VST dlls etc. The issue is sample content. There are some loops and there is the Hailon SE samples. As Ceceluis2 has his content on a separate drive its either something I missed or a demo limitation.

I got my eLicencer several years ago from XILS labs to run XILS3, it was a lot cheaper than the iLok option and its never given me a problem.

FYI--one thing about Cubase--it can take several attempts to scan all your 3d pty plugins. I have a bunch and the first time you launch Cubase it may close, crash or hang during the vst scan. This is okay. Just restart it. It may take a few attempts. I found that it starts up scanning where it left off.

Steinberg has a habit of pulling down their demos whenever a new version of Cubase is released, and then not posting the demos for download for several months after. So v9.5 is out now. When Cubase 9 was released at the end of 2016, I patiently waited for several months to demo it. But seriously, just be patient, and wait for the latest demo to arrive. Cubase version 9 had some big changes, and I'm sure that 9.5 will be even better! No need to be in a rush, unless you just need to lock in a special "Cakewalk crossgrade" deal. If in doubt, head over to Groove3 and watch some videos...  https://www.groove3.com/t..ials/Cubase-9-Explained

When I installed the full version of Cubase 9.5 Pro (made the move to Cubase after the Sonar announcement), the install process allowed for browsing and setting my target directory to install everything.
Maybe not in the trial version, but in the real version you can do that.
Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.
