All user reviews of 5/5 for the Steinberg Cubase Essential 5

Simple installation and configuration. It just happens basically. after some incompatibilities encountered with LE4 comes with a multi-purpose zoom, it's good to use an app that lets fly quietly.
As usual, I did not read the manual.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

my config: iMac OS X 10.6.8 / Intel Core i5 2.5 Ghz / 4GB DDR3 1333 Mhz ...
This is not the most powerful ordis range but it does turn your Essential 5 without coughing.
Only problem, insert the included effects created "POP" and other CRACs when we reached 7 to 8 playback tracks export as mixing.
But there is always a solution anyway with the range Steinberg.
Wholesale in essential Essential 5 turns pretty well.

OVERALL OPINION

I had Cubase SE. A computer that scorched a new computer that does not accept the old software and is blocked.
So I had to buy Essential 5 2 years ago and from SE to E5, we say "B # @ $ €! # Of & £ @%!, I miss applications!"
But we quickly realized that in other shop that are just as effective, and even completely replacing those we supposedly lost.

In passing, attention to version download demos other apps and plugins for the brand.
I'm stuck because of my soft Sequel Trial 1. Problem solved through the sav. We do not take over me.


But in enssemble, I recommend Essential 5.

Install W7 on a PC and Mac Osx 10.6 without pb. The manual electro .... yeah!
Despite an update, the driver ASIO E-MU 04040 (I / O audio & MIDI ext.) Plant constantly on W7, No problem with the Mac driver.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

PC: W7 - 500GB HD - 4GB RAM - Intel Core 2 Duo - 3.2GHz
Mac mini 120GB HD + 320GB Ext / Firewire - 1GB ram (ss pbs) - 2Ghz intel (runs 2 times better than the PC with 5-8 and 5-8 VSTi VST

97Khz external soundcard, ASIO latency almost 0-E-MU 0404 USB (included i / o noon) (impossible to use on PC)

Yamaha DX7 keyboard connected to Midi

Never had a crash on Mac

OVERALL OPINION

1 year and a half
- Cakewalk and Cubase Sonar6 used before
- The MOST: The rich functionality and plugs (VSTI HALionOne + Synth)
- The LESS: The rich functionality and plugs
- Q / P excellent (qq with fewer elements (not necessary) Elements 6 to 99 € a lot too).
- At my level really excellent choice (piano, midi, guitar, backtracks, and partition MIX Cam YT)

the installation is done it without problem?

update to download on the site of Steinberg, I record the license of the key
I install on the PC and the bottom (no internet, or other frills!)
Vista SP2.
in 10 minutes c'tait loop, knowing that the four can still be used (in case!)

Gnrale configuration is easy?
no problem for CA, I use Cubase / Nuendo for some time

Have you experienced any incompatibility?

for the PC in it not even just a small problem I had once
ASIO my pedalboard Zoom G2 (to save the scratch) that would not activate.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

no problem I have in PDF format pretty clear throughout

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

This software + hardware configuration is stable?

no worries of the cot, consider a tip box, "free asio driver in background"
story of a little free ram ...

The software works he correctly on this configuration?

I had a desire to crash or two but it's my fault ... I duplicated a midi track for EWQL SC with world builder (both loaded)

obviously he has not appreciated!

What performance? (If quantifiable)

since it is the only squenceur I used I completely agree ... I miss him just for a REAL DD + sound bank draft for the move without concern (the current must be too slow so when I have my project 50 audio track with reverb and all cracked sv ca re ...)
