    Steinberg Cubase SX 1Published on 05/08/12 at 23:11
    Cubase SX came out before SX 1 so I had a chance to mess with it for a while, mostly in “demo” mode but it was still the same. At first glance I really wasn’t liking it, didn’t really like the interface and how it was laid out. Coming from a few other software’s it was really confusing to me, it actually wasn’t untill I stop using it that I realized how good it really is.


    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    When I was using it I was using it on a Toshiba Satellite laptop that really didn’t give me to man issues. It did run slow a few times and had some sort of bugs going on with it but that could have been because my laptop just couldn’t handle it. I didn’t get a chance to run it on any dif…

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    When I was using it I was using it on a Toshiba Satellite laptop that really didn’t give me to man issues. It did run slow a few times and had some sort of bugs going on with it but that could have been because my laptop just couldn’t handle it. I didn’t get a chance to run it on any different computers before I moved on the SX 1.


    OVERALL OPINION

    Overall, it seemed to be a great software I just wasn’t 100 percent comfortable using it right off the bat. Like I said after I decided to stop using it was when I realized how good it was. I guess the saying is true , “you don’t know what you have until its gone”. I do love Cubase though, never really understand all the different versions they come out with though. Also, when trying to mix my own song down in Cubase SX just didn’t work for me either, I couldn’t get a good clean mean. All of my mixes came out to be pretty “light”. I mostly make hip hop and dubstep music so I need a full thick sounds and I had a hard time getting it. So I moved all of the .wav files out to pro tools so I could get the sound that I was looking for. But Cubase SX is a good program to get your feet wet in and understadn how “new” age daws operate.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for beginners October. I love all homogne "all in one" software, no need for too many products. The least, it is still many bugs in version.
    CAKEWALK before I tried that worked well (not the latest version which has just been released) SX is really the step above. Despite the possibilities of the software, the grip is almost empty.
    It's expensive, too expensive compared to competing products that offer almost as much for half the price (the new CAKEWALK) notament ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since its release, replacing Cubase VST.
    When we used to Cubase VST, there is a little palms dpart: the interface of the same normment chang some keyboard shortcuts. After a few days, it never ceases to s'merveiller the ergonomics of the interface (easy to assign multiple outputs even a MIDI track), stability (I believe n ' plant ever Windows XP) and new (MIDI plug-ins): Cubase has never t as convenient to use and if it is not as forward-WRITING that Sonar, he can put his ides shaped trs quickly ...

    BUT, because there is a "but", it becomes clear over time that many things are passing the trap between VST and SX. Concerning the particular MIDI (you can not use the compass to DCAL notes in the piano roll) and the Groove Quantize: Defines the System to the application and is an incredible burden, while he needed was a simple drag & drop with Cubase VST 5.

    Ct plug, the app is provided and the quality is more or less to go: let's say that by adding some good free plug, you will not get their hands the bag to work in good conditions. (The overdrive / amp simulator can in particular be replaced by plugs of Simuanalog freeware). Specially mention the little vocoder included: it is far from possible Vokator, but the thing is very simple to use and sounds done everything right.

    COMPARATIVE SX / SONAR / LOGIC: With its management loops and MIDI plug arrangement, Sonar is more oriented towards the three write, and is simple to use rvle trs. Alas, it is still not compatible VST ... (So ​​say goodbye to the hundreds of free plugs that format ...)
    A ct Cubase and Logic are gnralistes and VST: Logic IDAL is if you have a MIDI config complex (more synths, samplers, expanders grate) but it is my feel a little too hard to use ... especially as Cubase SX is of great simplicity for me, despite major default, the last n Steinberg is by far the one that offers the best power / simplicitversatilit the march. It is becoming the most of three squenceurs document (see Eyrolles exxxcccceeeeelllllllent site and space VST).
    CONCLUSION: There's good (ergonomics and audio engine), the good months (some plugs dipensables trs) and things you see change Espree (Groove Quantize). We feel that with SX, Steinberg is a good basis that it will take small small complter. Matter be continued.
    As for whether you should upgrade to SX VST, all of what you dpend fates: If you mainly use Cubase for audio, is worth it. If you work in normment MIDI, be rather more cautious set may be of.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I compose on cubase ... for me it is the ultimate software for compos.une very good management tools for the creation virtuel.disons cubase is the weapon fatal.mais ......... voila.
    I have two Mac and PC pc.sur I work with cubase sx mac and I work with DP4 and peak.et bias is the same as it hurts very badly.
    when I finished an assignment on sx I go on to master mac .... 2 on my platform I have a motu 896 ... you do the test file memes.le realize stereo with pc sx, when the Applying a bias treatment on peak, you take a slap so the dynamics of musical violently impressionante.dans First you say that you did a great purchase cot plugins (I apply the equalizer of bias, and the reverb bundle tc 3.0 and Nomad Factory limiter). believe me it is striking.
    Then I import an assignment on dp3 bias was expecting that same slap .... and surprise ......
    we felt a change in the mix well when appliqait the same plugins on the file stereo.mais eccart this same dynamic was clearly much less pronnoncer.
    departing it was believed that this was due to core audio osx.mais dp3 ignores the core audio osx.seul DP4 uses. I feel that Digital Performer and Cubase SX does not support dynamic in the same way .
    you one could tell me what it was ..... keep the soft or machines? in my opinion should be excluded machines. but hey I would like some answers ...

    Cubase SX is a program that many people still use today even though its an older version of the high quality program from Cubase. This program allows you to edit midi files extremely easy, some of the easiest midi file editor program on the market today. Not to mention you can do some editing with raw audio tracks and other formats as well as .mp3 and .wav. You can also export in several different files as well.

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    I ran Cubase SX on a windows xp computer for about a year before I finally upgraded to the next version of Cubase. I never had a single problem with it or a single crash in when using all of the available tracks and maxing out the mixer tracks wi…

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    I ran Cubase SX on a windows xp computer for about a year before I finally upgraded to the next version of Cubase. I never had a single problem with it or a single crash in when using all of the available tracks and maxing out the mixer tracks with all types of effects, hardly any lags when running Asio drivers. There are a lot of different versions of cubase out right now, in my opinion it really doesn’t matter which version of Cubase you start on. They all are basically the same thing, maybe just a few small things tweaked within the programs, but besides that there is no difference between them.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Overall Cubase SX is a great program that I recommend to anyone getting into music production on the computer. Even if you are a hardware music producer you can switch over to this software in no time and have no problem adjusting to it. Cubase SX will allow you to have complete 100 percent control over your projects and you can even save your project files and open the project up on a different computer if needed. You flat out cant go wrong with Cubase, as it is recognized all throughout the computer music world and every musician has either heard of Cubase SX or has used it at some point in the creative process of the music that they create.

    It pretty much does have everything you need in a DAW. I wish it accomidated live loop building better- like Ableton Live. I know that's not Cubase's job- still it seems possible to intigrate. If you can call it a 'feature', I am really disappointed there are no window Docking options (I always called them 'panes'). The other reviewer said exactly what i was thinking. After working with Ableton Live and thier much better pane-based interface I thought for sure everyone would hop aboard. Not yet apparently. moving windows around is not ideal.

    $199 (upgrade)

    There is a learning curve- even for users of earlier versions of Cubase. The manual is good enough- though some topics were discussed only briefly when I felt I needed a bit more discussion to fully grasp the topic. The interface makes sense and includes many shortcut buttons (not menu items) that perform common tasks and view toggling.

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    The included plug-ins are very good. Many accomidate electronica nicely. The sound IS better than Cubase 5.

    It's no doubt a high quality product. It's using the Nuendo engine which is supposed to be well engineered. The sliders and level indicators all move smoothly and in synch with the music. the latency is reduced which is great for playing 'through' Cubase's effects. I can actually solo along now with plug ins effecting my sound in real time.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Other than a few user interface complaints this is a GREAT DAW. I haven't used Digital Performer or Sonor or Logic to compare but I know it's at least comprable. I would bet that the engine is a little more stable than those competitors which is pretty huge when wieghing a product.
