I commit by copying and pasting here what I said on the forum:
Hi,
I SX from qq days and it's a real bonheeur, trs objectively
The interface can Drout at first but it is an illusion.
It promne field mouse over the button tooltips explain everything.
After one hour, there is the bte to hand without any problems.
It's true that reading the book "Getting Started" help too.
Something a bit boring: the USB dongle while my two jacks are occupied dj This proves once again that these protections n'emmerdent those who pay their apps, the waza is promne dj since last Wednesday.
Otherwise, there is still the same bug, which is normal for version 1.0. Personally, I have a butt on mixdown that food sometimes Premire VSTi notes or the same mixdown does not work in OGG format.
Steinberg is often ahead of the competition it is to innovate ds (VST, ASIO, VSTi etc. ...) but they seemed the floss against other (Logic 5, Sonar 1.0. ..). It was worth the wait.
To say that everyone rlait "yeah, Charly, r must write your Cubase, it's just code any old rotten! Let us Nuenbase or Cuendo!" He did it!
They Russi small feat: to offer a product REALLY new but some RFLEX repents of Cubase.
It's clear, I did not even install Cubase 5 r
In this regard, the import of Cubase 5 songs is going more or less success depending on the case. But overall, we found there.
In short, your résumé if you are big fans of Cubase, you must do the update. € 350 uros for a new software (it keeps the 5.1) is not too expensive even if the update is more expensive in France than elsewhere. Knowing that even when version 1.0 is forcment imperfect.
If you do not know Cubase SX BMD wait, you could you sduit

OVERALL OPINION
As a former Logic user, the choice was made on Cubase APRS hsitations long. Admittedly, Sonar and Samplitude have the rpondant. Finally SX is much more intuitive than it seems. The processing of audio and MIDI give are daunting to the extent that most of the CONTRL is available on the window base. Sonar and Cubase SX are similar bcp on this point, but the advantage SX.
Trs is flexible Exceeds Logic version 4. Can be a little less efficient in MIDI, but for me it is an excellent tool. Report quality discount.
Systm is all that is currently my needs, because Logic has disappeared from the PC platform.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
No problem running this software on my config. I had big problem with my config antrieure MIDI-based motherboard ABIT VIA chipset because of the USB or worse (I bought a PCI card with USB ports).
I've never had a crash. The only crashes I meet are not ds SX - well I think - but all the programs that I plug in adds a slave and I feel like a bug, especially if I open a internet session ... not to do. I would also say that my computer is Fully ddi music with just one connection to the net for the records of software and updates. Especially not install Office package on the same computer! Performance is as midi Whereas in audio (treatments differ in appearance and in a timely rels).
OVERALL OPINION
I use this software for over 6 months but I knew dj Cubase using it since version 3.7. At the very beginners, there's a few years, I worked on Atari but I never used other software midi / audio on a PC.
A little regret for the GUI. I AIM it seems a little more pro. It would be nickel we can choose the colors of the interface and the Steinberg site offers customized version.
I find the price justification and I advise everyone to buy it but be careful you may not be NCESS to use all functions of the SX ... then you turn the ct version of the SL least coteuse.
I would do the same choice is clear.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The True Tape emulation is one of the best features a music software manufacturer has ever come up with. The on-board reverbs are a bit on the clangy / chilly side. The eq sounds too harsh and digital to my taste. I definitely like the A1 synth. BIG bass sounds and leads. The internal mp3 encoder is excellent.
For the most part, the quality is solid enough to not require any support. CS is ok as long as one stays on standard issues. They seem to lose it a bit when you come up with problems out of 'exotic' configurations. For those who are using Steinberg (-recommended) hardware there shouldn't be any major problems though. BTW I wouldn't use it at a gig, just like any other software...

It's a studio workhorse and it does what it's supposed to do, most of the time... For fancy twiddling I turn over to the 02R

The included plugins are decent enough to get some songs done, but to really use cubase to its full potential you gotta get some vst's.
I messed up my install once but installing too many free vst's. I wasnt sure what plugin messed with it, but i had to reinstall cubase, it would crash upon start up. that was the only problem ive had. its never crashed on me.
OVERALL OPINION
After using many programs, I have come to the conclusion that recording songs in cubase is straight forward and logical. You don't have to think about it, you just play, and nothing gets in the way of your creative process. with vst support, and of course rewire, the possibilities are endless, and i recommend every studio pick up cubase sx now.
