I was quite excited to learn that Steinberg had released Sequel, a stripped down version of cubase that is perfect for hobbyist recorders that want something that is feature rich, but not too confusing for someone to learn. I went ahead and downloaded the trial version that is available on their site, but have only had marginal success on OSX 10.5.2.
The first issue that I noticed was that during playback and occasionally during recording there was a crackling sound. It was as if my C2D 2.0 with 4gb of ram didn’t have enough juice to power the software. I checked around and found it was an issue that a number of mac users had been reporting.
Second issue is that all of a sudden I can no longer start the program. I’m still well within my trial period, but I get this error:
Syncrosoft License Control - Error
Application “Sequel 1.x Trial” has caused the following error:
eLicenser(s) contain(s) no valid license for this application.
Options:
- For troubleshooting information click <help>
- Click <Licenses> to view available licenses.
- Connect a valid eLicenser and click <retry>
- Click <cancel> to abort.
I’ve tried to uninstall it, re-download and re-install but still get this same error. I’ve posted my question on the sequel user forum, but still don’t have a reply…
I was really excited when I first tried this program out, but now that I’m unable to use it I may have to look elsewhere, or back to GarageBand.
