Enix49 « I prefer it over Cubase! »
Published on 02/09/11 at 04:15I had no issues installing version 2.8.11 on Ubuntu Linux (Lucid Lynx)
You need to first install the Jackd server.
PERFORMANCE
My PC is a Dual Core 2.7 Ghz, 4 Gb Ram, with an M Audio Delta 44 soundcard + Line 6 Ux1 card (it works great with Jackd and Guitarix)
No slowing down, no particular issues nor crashes. It's super stable compared to Windows and related software programs, which I can't stand due to all the crashes (even with legal copies and licenses!).
OVERALL OPINION
The interface is sober, a bit plain but you get used to it fast.
This sequencer is wonderful. If you forget the MIDI issue (which is foreseen to be supported in version 3), it has everything you need for home-studio quality productions.
I think it handles stereo better than Cubase SX3. You have a pan control per channel, which is an obvious approach and I can't understand why Cubase doesn't have one on each channel?
The mixing console isn't crowded at all, you only add to it what you need, including the EQs.
The spectrum analyzer and all other tools are perfect.
The fact that it works with the Jack audio server is also a great advantage compared to Windows. I wouldn't go back to it for anything in the world!
Professional alternative to expensive sequencers.
