All user reviews for the Steinberg Cubase SX 2

No problem install level, if not the original version does not work on Panther, don c must be the update and ho surprise, finally walking fawn talk ...

ADQUATION / PERFORMANCE

Mac Ti 1 GHz 1 GB RAM, 60 gigs of HD RME Hammerfall Multiface sound card
The software is full of bugs, the most unbearable is the graphic bug: the windows disappear and rapparaissent whenever they seem
The performance on this machine are very limited compares the perf on an average PC ...
SX2 mac Panther is not optimized for Steinberg after it would be the fault Apple !!! ??? HA ... HA ... HA !!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I bought this software in November or December, and I sincerely believe that I'll sell it to point me to DP4 or logic ...
The price quality ratio is more than bad and still I'm lucky it's an upgrade so I did not pay 800 euros for this bouze.
If I had known that this app was not finished on the Mac, I would have never buy
The least is that Steinberg offers its customers an alternative (eg license limited in time until SX1 SX2 is finished !!!!) or Nuendo a Preferential price, because it seems to be little prs finished !!!

Steinberg Cubase SX2 has been upgraded at this point but I still own it and can provide a good review. At first glance for a newbie it can be a little bit overwhelming if you havent worked with any DAW’s before. Or even if you have worked with other DAW’s you will still need to pull out the manual because everything is a little different than you are probably use to. When installing it on my Dell laptop it gave me no troubles at all and it was a pretty quick installation. All of your basic functions with it like play, record, stop, are right in front of you and easy to find. Its just when you want to get more indepth with some stuff that you will have to learn all of the menus and how to navigate through them. Its not hard at all, you will just have to get use to it and get the feel of Cubase SX2 first.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Steinberg Cubase SX2 works great on my system, I don’t think I had any problems with it ever. Everything with it is pretty good with CPU , keeping your CPU down when working with a DAW or music program is crucial because it can make your system start to get a little fuzzy. When I was using SX2 I was using it with a lot of plug ins and even some hardware running in through my Behringer interface. At first I couldn’t figure out how to get all of my midi and stuff set up with the audio. It was a difficult task, even after reading through the manual it still took sometime for me to get it.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, Cubase has been doing DAWS for years now and they continue to be one of the best on the market. It this is your first time around with Cubase SX2 you could be hooked and wont use any other DAW’s on the market.

Steinberg Cubase SX2 is a sequencer that I have been using off and on for about 6 years or so. There is no particular reason why I havent made it my man sequencer. I guess I am just not as confortable with it as I am some other sequencers that are on the market. Plus at the time when it first came out I was still using a lot of hardware so I never really fully committed to being a Cubase SX2 user. But when I do decide to open up Cubase SX2 is always runs great on my system. I have no problems with it,


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I ran it on a 2 gig laptop from Toshiba and it ran great and never froze up or crashed. Even as my laptop got older and couldn’t run some other programs Cubase SX2 still worked like it did the first day that I purchased it. I know a lot of people who choose cubase sx2 over pro tools 7, (or they did at the time). I myself prefer pro tools because every studio uses it. Not every studio has Cubase SX2 on hand.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, Cu base SX2 has a very good sequencer that is similar to most all the sequencers in most other daw systems. Some of the plus things that I like about Cubase SX2 is the mixer track. I really like the flow of the mixer tracks over any other mixer in softwares. It just works great for me, plus the compression in Cubase SX2 seems to be better than it is in acid pro and fl studio. Cubase’s mixier system with compression and some of the reverbs seem like they model off of Pro tools very closely. Maybe that’s why Cubase is compared to pro tools so much. But I would choose pro tools any day over Cubase SX2. But I still have my SX2 just don’t use it that much anymore.

Easy or hard: since the time I got used to how to Steinberg. Security system just as binding as the updates. More work on this side and on the side prices for the update is far from free ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

So there I am happy! More stable and (presumably) less greedy than the version 1.06!
No bugs found in 5 days on a PIV 2.8GHz taf, 1GB DDR400, win XP pro and Delta 66.
Only a few conflicts with cubase old projects (but nothing serious).

OVERALL OPINION

Cubase is like a fine wine, the more it matures more he is good. The new GUI is beautiful (and looks more and more Logic as the new fonctons some essential so you do not understand that they have not thought of it before! (Freeze. ..).
Short but good and unfortunately for our wallets once again indispensable.

Installing the software alone, fastoche. As against the check-in is boring but it's not drink the sea.
No incompatibility with my system.
The manual is in English, is the black dot.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Motherboard Asus A7M266-D, two Athlon MP2200 +, 1 GB RAM, 2 HDD SCSI Ultra 160, Delta 1010 in sound card.
SX 2 works without problem of primary bug, as the opinions prcedent, which should direct their anger at the author version of unofficial ultra bugg like Nuendo 2, rather that Steinberg.
Ergonomics manages a little more and thus more fast gaining. The sound seems more dynamic than the previous version.
Stability in the appointment. Some small problems with importing vst format or the old version but nothing serious trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two days (10 hours above) the interface is quite nice and nothing Drout when Cubase practice long ago. It is rich in tools as mulo and there must be some, however, a tool tip for each tool is for the acclrer habits. The tracks are a rgale of automation and easy management track vst-i greatly facilitated. Only downside for the moment, the instructions in pdf and English.

Setup is extremely "HARD" ... hard drive if you're not a tank + 12 in the area ...
on the other hand midi impossible to read to the banks of my MOTIF RACK (Yamaha) yet correctly configured puuisqu'il works "normally" with its own squenceur SQ1 ...

Pfffffff it is clear that none of you bought it!

AND everyone can give their opinion on a little soft on it just download emule crack and no matter how ....

I reserve my well being to give an opinion given that I do not have a real version with dongle ...

Users say they have bought all that stability is a copy!

How can you imagine two seconds that put an app on the market that will crash on all the config in less than 5 minutes ?????????

Stop talking nonsense guys ....

Make a real test on a demo version or official .... and after ... allow you to give an opinion ....

Installation made in 5 minutes dbalage understood without problem.
Configuration very simple.
No software compatibility problems and rewire UA1000 immediately recognized.
Manual handling is in French. Trs is clear and easy for beginners to accsmme. He explains through examples the main features. The manual is supplied in PDF Retailer in English, but it's not complicated to understand.

OVERALL OPINION

I have Cubase SX 2 for 1 week, and I do m'arrte more to play with. I do not Russi after planting, even trying
I like it because it's beautiful and enjoyable to use, but also because I always used Cubase since version 3 and XT and VST32 and R5, and SX, etc ...
I agree that the versions antrieures n'taient not conceived for the height of which goes to the audio processing. But now with this new version, bad language have that much to stand, because it's really the height of the top of the market Dtd. I compare Digital Performer, Logic or samplitude no problem. The new audio engine is REALLY suprieur concurence. The limitless possibilities of routing places the height of the best. The possibilities are always twelve o'clock t is strength, and VSTi or Rewire intgration is Steinberg who invented ... For 700 euros available software really gnial with a report qualitprix gal without exception may be the ct Sonar 3 producer who provided more than extensions of apps, but not at Cubase SX2. Sonar may be more suited for someone looking for a product a while with all the effects, synths and virtual sampler Intgr. But necessarily, this is not the height of a Cubase SX2 + Kontakt + Access Virus C. .. They do not apply to same customers I think.
In conclusion, I would do the same choices Obviously, since I am satisfied ...

Installing a relatively simple problem ... by installing Midiman cards (Delta / Midisport) yet Distribus by Steinberg!
Configuration gnrale Sx1.06 close enough.
Complete manual, except for simple things, not reported and found one (export LIBRARY)!

Incredible ... all my projects turned over to the max ... Sx1.06 row, despite the Freeze! Despite the dual processor!
For projects LGERS, obviously not a problem, but to use Reason / Vsti (4ou8) + Audio (8 tracks) + Effects (3!) Or more! Forget!
I work with a professional studio .. and not to waiver SX1.06!
I specify that it is the original version ... DISEZ me that's not true! Steinberg will fix that a!!

OVERALL OPINION

From Atari and Pro24, I have always followed Steinberg (Innovative Audio in) ... and my software is Cubase prfr ... so I use it for 86 (Pro 24).
The best is the logic ... the VSTi / Vst..le worse than a ream dry, and super powerful machines that do not take it!! How far will stop on?
Still I struggled to remain faithful, but these days, no longer pays a lot!
I await an explanation for the management of Hyper Treading (which is apparently not!) In Cubase SX2!

Installation without problem,
For I c incompatibility still not too because I have just the use but I have some anomalies can be seen with V-STATION and REASON but not too bad after day hopes Kelka rglages.
many of us still think cubase is unstable but we think ke cubase nessecite an installation window more than adequate and a sound card perfectly suited for the LOG, (forget all the low-end cards you will get nothing n, c clear !).
Manual in English with the real version, or in french on the net. (Best french for french).

Software works well with my config from my sound card is cut Defois ki! J play support on the pause button is always on and my reading bar does not move! disgust! but note I do not want to lower the average ca, because I think the prob ke just my card, not cubase, many poor grades give his lies (d in am ) to malfunction and not CUBASE (especially on PC).

OVERALL OPINION

J uses cubase vst since version 32, and cubase SX for the past two weeks,
I love the finish of all! Logic is like, I like too the permanent opening of the console MIDI kan I want my console AUDIO! the MIDI options put forward are too ambiguous for a little novice.
CUBASE is very expensive it pushes a ki in the download to per per (damage).
Cubase and a product for the semi-pro and pro, the use of Cubase SX for beginners is strongly discouraged.

Instalation no problem, no incompatibility, comfiguration trs simple, manual in English a bit boring ......

OVERALL OPINION

maintenand was 5 months I use it with an operating system not crack ... and turns to hell! plant it 2 times in 5 months, unwanted with an average of 10 hours per day (except weekends ...) and it works as well or better dp or a logik or ProTool .... and for those who considers that a does not work, think and review your config stop the crack ............. .

The install is as it were the most simplicissima. No incompatibilities with a host of diverse and varied programs of all brands and all Obedia. For the config ', Steinberg (pronounced as in Shtaillenebèrgue Derrick is German) has chosen the professional, so it's best to bring the manual to take full advantage of the wealth of the software. That said if you like me experienced the pangs of noon in Protools you should get out ... The manual is in French generally well done although it is regrettable that the publisher of partition (factory gauze) available only in English.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

PC, Gigabyte 7N400 PRO2, Athlon XP 2600 +, 1GB of RAM, MIA Midi pending Lexicon Omega Studio makes his work with the ASIO drivers in Cubase. FLOW, no latency in midi or audio recording slowed down, but the processor a bit with some plug ins (like the Verb Room M2). 5ms latency in midi audio and virtually zero, happiness. If you walk in XP, the system turns out to be a model of stability!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year (SX and SX 2). I love the score editor, the combination midi sequencer + partition editor is quite efficient. The program lacks some intuitiveness, again: always have the manual handy! I worked on Protools (audio not great in terrible noon) and Acid or Sound Forge. The advantage of Cubase is that if he did not bénificie the inimitable Protools audio engine that is superior to other products néanmmoins I quoted and, in addition to any self-respecting composer to work with midi a virtual eye on the beats and another on the partoches is simply an absolute luxury! I'm really happy to work with, no complaints.

The same instalation as it does me no problem posse if not than using a PC ddi computer music (not connected to internet) and a PC internet, I ram a little to understand and find ways to allow my usb SX1 (I'm the SX1 to SX2 MJ). But once I realized, I really found trs con not be found more quickly, o) ...
For those who know the dj SX1 config should not pose any problem.
For others, it is all fawn trs not rocket science, and following the manual handling with a minimum of logic should run without lzards ca.
I put only 8 key for this story because I am yet to get used to this kind of manipulation 'I admit to being somewhat schematic explanation of the manual on this level prcis. O)
That said, I think I have most of my t anthousiasme victim blinding; op prss making me too to see the interface, if you know what I mean; o)) So plutt 10 .

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

My PIV 2.4Ghz 1024 MB of DDR2700 and my Hoontech DSP2000 does not move the pieces of BMD (the famous Heaven and Hell, op). Indeed, under SX1, my VST gauge between 10 and 12 or 13, whereas with SX2, ca turn over between 13 and 15, but is it really a matter of consolation or plutt rle r diffrent action of the two gauges?? In short, no loss of life on this one l. The tonnage of SX2 I think all of m ^ m and more prcise Ractive before, but this may be an impression. Still, I have currently no crashes dplorer (6 hours in a row).

OVERALL OPINION

For several hours now, I rejoiced! It is fluid and galres. I rimport SX1 my keyboard shortcuts and I feel at home.
The input channel, the recording level rglage by the INVERTER phase routes because THE Panard SUPRME I tell you ...
A pure happiness.

I LOVE it!
