I shouldn’t go buy stuff on Black Friday sales. But I did. I bought Steinberg Absolute 6, the instrument collection including Halion 7, Groove Agent 5, etc.

After three days, it had:

• Broken my cubase 11 media bay
• Broken my cubase 12 media bay
• Broken my halion 6 install
• Made 90% of my existing cubase projects fail to open
• Showed me 0 loadable presets in halion 7, after three tries reinstalling it.
• Screwed up my ability to start cubase without errors.

So I just rage quit Cubase and all steinberg products. Deleted them all. I have 400 gigabytes more space on my hard drive, and a huge hate for Steinberg.

Whatever they did to me, if I can convince anybody else NOT TO UPGRADE TO HALION 7, just don’t.
