This IS IT!!!

I've always loved Cubase ever since SX/SL 1-3.... I've been using Cubase ever since... I do have protools LE 7.4 and that is ok but it's nothing like Cubase 4.... This is IT!!!! I love love it.. I hav... read more [+]e yet to have any problems with it and I love the upgrade to 4.1.... The audio/sound engine is very big and fat to me, I mean the sound is very warm just like analog... I have all my plug-ins from Waves SSL, API, Neve and the Diamond bundle to Sony Oxford EQ, Limiter, Dynamics and Inflator.. And these plug-ins sound very SWEET in this software... I say this is the best to get if you cant afford Protools HD and if I could I still would choose Cubase 4 over protools and any other software.... the only reason why I have protools is because it suppose to be the industry standard... Get Cubase along with Reason 4; and thats a banging combination... close [-]

If you use UAW PCI cards with your system this is the program to get. DELAY COMPENSATION! Cubase 4 has it PRO TOOLS LE DOES NOT!!! Ive used Sonar 5, Pro-Tools 7, and now Cubase/Nuendo. This program is... read more [+] sooo slick.... runs very smooth, it's not picky like Pro Tools, ... 32 bit sound is much better, YES! you can hear the difference. I use a Creation Station 3.4 dual core and 2 UAD PCI cards, with Fireface 800. I've use several setups I am very happy with this performance and quality! Move over Pro Tools!

I love Cubase. It blows so many others away. If you don't have the money to go with ProTools, this is the way to go. It also uses Native plugins which are easier on the wallet than TDM, and sound basi... read more [+]cally the same. The features and the interface are simple and easy to use, but it is a feature-rich program. close [-]

Logic-al

by John from Nashville, TN

I have had Cubase and Nuendo in the past, but since getting a Mac Pro, I was forced to go to another Sequencer. It was the most il-Logic-al program I have ever dealt with. I have since upgraded to Cub... read more [+]ase 4 and I'm really thrilled with it. The routing has been vastly improved, the new plugs sound really great (vintage compressor is pretty awesome) and I think the workflow is the easiest and most user friendly out there. Are the included plugs and VST's as good as UAD, Ivory, EZ Drummer? Well, of course not, but they weren't designed to compete with those products. Everything here is VERY usable...something that couldn't be said for the last version of Cubase. These are in-line with what comes with Logic - but in a much better working environment. Just my two cents. Everything so far has been stable - no crashes, no bugs - solid as a rock. close [-]
