Hi,
I am curious; Cubase 5 vst has an optional mp3 encoder plug. Anyone tried it? Or knows where i can find it?
-
thats just a library/system extension, it should come with any VST 5.x. and i recommend against it because there are better codes (such as the one in spark)

Nope, it had to be purchased seperately. Funny thing is that Cubasis 2.0 did have the MP3 encoder included.
I just would like to be able to do a quick MP3 encoding within Cubase just for listening on other devices. If you have the library/extension, please upload!
-
will do. (it is to be placed beside the app, not in extensions!)
-
oh je, i have half a dozen of such files in the system, do you know that exact name?
-
The Cubase VST 5/32 leaflet states:"With the optional MP3 encoder plug component, Cubase
VST can also export directly to MP3". In windows this is the "mp3audiohandler.dll - MPEG 1 Layer 3 (Fraunhofer) (Audio-Codec Plug-In". Maybe this helps? ::)

Here it is.
It must be placed on the Cubase folder. The next time you Export Audio Tracks, You'll see a new extra format: MP3!
... and don't forget to choose a high quality settings!

Here it is.
Words that say so little but mean so much! LOL. Even Steinberg distributors couldn't help me with this one. Though it was published in every manual, leaflet etc nobody knew where to find it. Untill the 18th june 2014! Respect. 8)

nice one mactron
arjen: of course steinberg isnt able to help you. they are no longer even specialists of their own products.. time has moved on and they have forgotten the past and retained no experts on the old technology..... none of these companies will help us. we are out in the wild on our own;) anyone involved with this site now is the expert.... period. noone else.
this file should really be added to our own files of cubase package for download. imho
with proper text file explaining its use + installation... or added to the downloads section..
simply leaving it here as a file attachment ... isnt so solid.

Wow… I never knew that one even existed… again we bow to the Mactron :)
Arjen, Sorry for all the "wrong" info

probably because it was a bullshit 'paid' option that noone paid for because of the fraunhofer licensing or whatever

Well not entirely true. I was talking about the days Cubase 5 VST was launched. Back then they helped me out numerous times after I wrote a letter with an extensive bug list. One of the things I mentioned was the MP3 encoder option; it was marketed but not sold ?!?!? Literally nobody knew where to get it. And now the search has ended...
Totally agree that this file should be added to the Cubase download section. Installation is quite simple; just put the file in the Cubase directory and all works fine.
@Diehard, no need to say sorry. Just enjoy the suprise as much as I do! :D

so it is really this what is in the cubase folder.
now i wonder where i have that from? i swear i have never installed it in there. it must have been coming with 5/32. :P
that steinberg doesnt know what is going on with their products and with their programmers is what almost killed them.

these companies change over time, structural changes, ownership changes, staff changes..
people leaving the company etc etc
they have totally thrown out and disregarded all the info practically by now except for a small reference stash of info
on this stuff im sure

So do you have the image of the installer of this Cubase VST5 CD?

it may be a good idea to post this file linked to the cubase download boards
