Cubase 11 mac os1/10/2024 ![]() Can’t imagine 12 will work at all on this machine going by version 11.0.40’s issues. Maybe by the summer if I get some time to do it. That’s another question only Steinberg can answer.Īs for future upgrades (I’m eligible for 12 when it comes out), I think I’ll try a new SSD drive with a fresh install of Mojave and see how that goes before changing anything here. Most software would just shut down the install if the OS version is not what’s recommended to be used. It is odd that 10.5 and 11 is allowed to be installed on High Sierra if it’s not recommended. I had a couple of things to adjust but not many. I had previous installs of Cubase (9.5 and 10) and most, if not all prefs got moved over perfectly during the install of 11. And this, is how conspiracy theories start - without proper facts told by the people who could actually tell them.Īnyway, if you want to know the details of my install using the download manager and getting to 11.0.20 then send me a note privately. Did Steinberg intentionally adjust the software to not work on High Sierra anymore? Unless Steinberg respond with some plausible answer I guess we’ll never know. No idea why 11.0.20 is great, but 11.0.30 and up is a no go. I did try 11.0.40 first (latest release with the download manager) and it was a disaster. The upgrade to Mojave is free, but all of the other software that may need upgraded as a result is not. In particular Pro Tools and Live along with many others. Of course I could update my OS to Mojave with a metal card but in this day and age, I have to look out for multiple pieces of software working not just Cubase. ![]() A basic one for me was: will it work on High Sierra IF you have a metal card installed? No one would answer that and I couldn’t find a definite answer online. Haven’t found any downside yet other than Steinberg’s unwillingness to help answer a few simple questions on it. I had actually gone back to 9.5 instead of using 10 because of sluggish meters and a general awkwardness in the version however I missed some of the newer features that I’d paid for with 10. The meters are much faster, and the whole software seems to respond better. It is more responsive than 9.5 and 10 on the same system. I can verify that Cubase 11 works on High Sierra with a Mac Pro 5,1 - only up to 11.0.20 and with a metal compatible card installed (RX580 in my case (4GB version)). My advice? Stick with C10.5 until you can (or if) you get yourself a more recent Metal-compliant Mac, if you wish to continue going forward on the OSX platform and want a relatively trouble-free experience. It’ll be up to you to determine that or not. So…you can take your chances attempting to run C11 on your iMac and High Sierra…but the end result will be by no means, optimal and pretty much not may not be worth the effort. (Many older MacPro towers (2010 and later) can be retro-fitted with Metal-compliant GPU’s, and can run 10.14 or 10.15 and C11…so if you’re reading this and fall into this category, there are solutions, as long as you throw money at it). Unfortunately, older iMacs and MacBooks unequipped with Metal-compliant GPUs are impossible (or near impossible) or non-cost-effective to upgrade. That’s why Apple won’t let your iMac download Mojave…and why Cubase 11 won’t run on High Sierra properly: C11’s graphic engine requires a Metal-compliant GPU to run as designed. ![]() It aint pretty.Īll of this is occurring because your iMac doesn’t have a Metal-compliant GPU. Worst case scenario is that merely launching some plug-ins will cause Cubase to crash. In some cases, you may be able to work around the problem by using the plug-in’s Generic display option…or use “tear-off” menus in some of the Steinberg titles, if the feature is present. This usually manifests itself with completely un-editable solid black or white GUI displays or GUI menu scrolling that doesn’t function properly as you attempt to scroll. C11 will run (of sorts) under HighSierra (10.13)…but you’re going to experience graphical issues…most notably how plug-in GUIs (both 3rd party and Steinberg’s) are displayed.
