Value For Money : Excellent
Easy Installation
No incompatibilities for me
Configuration: not very, there are subtleties with the input / output: a single configuration menu could allow an easier setup. But, the range of possibilities offered by the beast partly explains this complexity.
The manual is not wrong. on the other hand, large criticizes Steinberg, even for the price, you should still have a manual edit of the advanced features that are described in a pdf of 600 pages! (Only the grip is put on paper for the rest, your printers, cartridges and reams of paper in your ... you will also row)
8 anyway because it could have been 1000 times worse. At least the documentation is clear and complete, which is rather rare.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Okay so I have a laptop (yes) AMD Athlon 1.7 GHz, 448 MB RAM, 40 GB hard drive, Creative PCMCIA Sound Card Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (not bad: 24-bit recording, ASIO + an excellent line input / microphone, ideal choice for laptops). So it's not a config dream, especially since it is not dedicated to audio ...

the software works pretty: only problem, I sometimes stalls mono-stereo. After that it is related to my sound card or cubase, hard to say. Finally we get out.

Performance is good for this config, with many recording audio and MIDI tracks read quite powerful. no problem. The config is stable overall, although it never prevents crashes with some freeware VST instruments: we must take his time.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 weeks and it's happiness. Before I turned on Magix, but it changes from day to night.
Particularly at noon, when Cubase is really hyper hyper efficient.
Moult effects, good resolution, a wide range of sophisticated capabilities and performance. (Editor tempo is a treat).
And above all, value for money is excellent! we really feel like working with a professional equipment is the highest level.
I do it again this choice? I think. At that price, you really can not beat. Worth an extension to € 100 to avoid public sequencers (music maker and music studio).
