    Well

    Installation is done safely, we must of course bring an ilok for permission (provided).

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    AMD Sempron 3000 + Windows XP SP3
    RAS, the product is stable.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Cubase is a good product that allows for very accurate models, it has a whole arsenal of settings and plug-in for recording (égalaseur, compressor, reverb, multi-effects, etc.). MIDI tracks are very well designed with no opportunities in réglages.C also is a product of studio and only studio that requires a thorough job if we want to leverage the performance and if we remain in a use "classical" composition. (not adapted to remix and play loop synchronized kind Ableton Live)

    Cubase 4 essential

    Steinberg Cubase Essential 4Published on 07/25/11 at 09:59
    Cubase 4 essentials is the entry-level version of cubase 4 studio.
    But it has more than enough tools for the beginning recording/mixing engineer.

    Cubase 4 essentials includes 64 audio tracks, unlimited Midi tracks, 44 plug-ins incorporating Steinberg's new VST3 protocol, 16 VST instrument slots, the Halion One sample player, plus full latency compensation throughout the signal path.

    There's also the new Amp Simulator, with 14 amps and 10 cabinets to mix and match to create the perfect guitar sound

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    This software works correctly and stable because it doesn't use much cpu power of the computer.

    I used cubase 4 essentials for almost a year before switching to protools

    OVERALL OPINION

    I like the easy and clear midi editing possibilities, and i think you get pretty much quality for your money.

    The only thing i dont like very much is the mix engine of cubase, thats one of the reasons i switched to protools.

    No installation nor incompatibility problems. I did however update Syncrosoft to avoid any problems. I don't use the user's manual a lot since I previously used Cubase SE3.

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    I installed it on a Compaq C550EM Intel Celeron M laptop running Vista Basic. Everything works fine with the sound card of the PC and I use the ASIO 4 ALL driver to get good results because CUBASE ESSENTIAL 4 requires more CPU resources than CUBASE SE3. If your PC isn't up to the task you can always use the freeze function to solve the problem. I'm personally thinking about buying an external sound card like the M-AUD…

If your PC isn't up to the task you can always use the freeze function to solve the problem. I'm personally thinking about buying an external sound card like the M-AUDIO AUDIOPHILE USB, which isn't too expensive!

    The software is very stable and reliable under Vista Basic.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using it for a few days only and I'm very satisfied with it.

    The GUI looks great (like Cusbase 4) and I love the amazing sounds Halion One provides, but the program is rather basic and has only one VST.

    The product is not expensive considering its quality. I get much better results than with my Cubase SE3. I'm very satisfied so I would buy it again. I give it only an 8 because one VST is not enough. Fortunately there are many free VSTs available on the web! It's a great product.
