No problem for installation is quick and hassle-free. However, the transfer of the license is messed up, so I was unable to activate the software for months. I tried again recently, I removed the transfer messed up (I had not have noticed the option to remove previously), I reinstalled the license and everything went perfectly.
No inconsistency on my side.
The manual is extremely clear and complete for my taste, with several useful tutorials for beginners who want to know as confirmed by the core software.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I turn on Windows XP Pro with 2GB of RAM and an AMD Athlon Dual Core 4400. It's very stable, no crash and the software works very well.
OVERALL OPINION
I use Cubase LE 4 active recently, but I am very satisfied. Before its acquisition, I tested VST32 Cubase and Cubase SX and Cubase SX3 finally. Cubase LE 4 is the newest of 4, I find it more ergonomic, clear, and clearly better thought best. In comparison, other seem more "draft". However, SX SX3 and are much more extensive: LE 4 is a version very "light".
-The features I like most: its simplicity, clear manual, automation, design and the fact that he was offered (with ESI ESU 22).
-The features I like least: not enough integrated VST plugins in my view, can only handle little VSTi (8), no change in pitch or tempo via the submenu "Processing" ...
However, this is a really light version, and offered at that. Should not expect to have the equivalent of 5 in Cubase for free, either. No, any software, it's a bomb. But paying, there's better, necessarily.
Also note that the upgrade to Cubase 5 is possible, and we did at the same time save around 100 euros on the price of one.
The quality / price génialissime, and yes, I would do this either with experience. However, as two Cubase LE 4 will be useless to me, I turn instead to upgrade to Cubase 5 in the future.
Edit: After some months of use, I come here not to change my opinion but to state the limits of software:
Maximum number of audio tracks: 48 (mono or stereo)
Maximum number of instrument tracks: 8
Maximum number of MIDI tracks: 64
Maximum number of tracks FX: 8
Maximum number of tracks groups: 100
A single automation track displayed by both track
No Remote, and impossible to use Cubase LE 4 with Ableton Live (for example).
