To paraphrase Neil Armstrong, one small step for mankind, one giant leap for Sean Kearns.

As those who know me will testify my IT skills are, shall we say, hit and miss. With more emphasis on the miss than the hit if we’re being honest. But what you’re looking at in the picture is Cubase 11 downloaded onto my computer.

I’ve overcome the vagaries of my internet connection, conquered the demands of the ridiculous eLicencer and even beaten the Cubase downloader app. There were a few strong words aimed at the lunacy that Steinberg insist you have to go through to get their product working.

It amazes me that for the amount I’ve spent with Steinberg and their Cubase product they haven’t sent a technician to live with me and be on-call 24/7. It would certainly have been cheaper for all of us in the long run.

So now there’s no excuse not to start the next musical project. You have been warned.
