All user reviews of 3/5 for the Steinberg Cubase 6

I wanted to see if Cubase Sonar was definitely better than what I used for over ten years. In fact, Sonar lack of features around the management of "expressions" of instruments. So I bought Cubase Artist. The installation is done, I would say, not too bad ... this is a little less plug and play as Sonar, but runs very well here today.
To the manual ... PDF is the standard ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software seems to work well even if I am little used.

OVERALL OPINION

In fact, I regret my purchase because I quickly returned to Sonar. The reasons are manifold. Cubase is ugly ... interface with a fully Has been the track settings are less convenient (I think) ... and I had a small crash. function that interested me, I tried to use it with the VSL and I'm not happened. I came back to Sonar is not a priori dedicated to users like me (I'm more orchestration loops rap) but he understands the basics. For cons, I'm probably not very objective because after 10 years of loyalty to Sonar, I had a lot of benchmarks that I was not with Cubase ... one Cubase aficionados might have the opposite feeling towards Sonar!

Easy installation, by recording against painful by Soft Dongle or E-license to use / Enable especially for those who have not yet Steinberg License.
The general configuration is easy, no particular incompatibility. Online help is present and there are tutorials all over the Net, YouTube, DVD, Books, etc ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Config> I5 2500K on a PC. ° 8G of RAM. Seven 64 Ultimate. 2T °. Relatively efficient.
Problem-free operation and flawless stability.

OVERALL OPINION

I can not tell time, since 1999/2000, well before the Atari ST, the entire product development in various forms (Cubasis).

Yes I have a lot of software and I would say to this day that Cubase is exceeded, both in price than the functional side. Moreover, the six gave me little compared to 5 .. Is the most followed and reliability of the product since its inception, now the business cycle is a shame for new versions. I stopped the sequencer, having found better among competitors is more expensive Pro more, but less, much cheaper with the same opportunities and more friendly ..
I would say that beginners are better and cheaper, it is important, and there are better Pro, see the studios.
No, I would direct me more about this product that I use occasionally, I have enough "contributions" from Steinberg and "The Reference" in personal opinion is also no offense to "addicts" label which I part several years.

Installing long but simple and normal.
Configuration is very simple I use a RME UC.
I do not need manual user since my Atari .. but I look for any new qq tutorials on the web.

The E licencer has always been impeccable stability. ca food + a usb one license I lock + card + one for one to drive a torpedo ... I regret not having kept a Firewire port in passing ...

CPR project password qq qq Mo Ko has désomais ...

Using cubase is a bit heavy .. if you work for shortcuts without you lose spontaneity.
the criteria for research halion sounds using a small search window is far from convincing ... I lost too much time.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Config HP laptop (Pavilion of me ..!) The ventilos are too noisy!
Rams and 12 GB HDD 1 Tera
Config installed 64-bit (some farewell VSTi which was very good and are not replaced with hindsight ..)

Stable if a VTS Bridge steinberg which he alone can crash anterior projects ... I am forced to kill the bridge in the task manager to retrieve the previous projects sometimes re recorded in cubase 6.5.4 then close and re-open the project (i generelement a former VST increasingly recognized not present on the PC) .

Puree it is long to open the program and launch a project! say's an era I could afford to load projects for live performances and audio sequences, something that will be impossible to this day ...

OVERALL OPINION

Daily use for audio input + sequences

I tried other things inappropriate for me ... and Tolls Pro is out of my budget because of global Syteme that I will invest for it tempts me.

But I think value for money is ... bof; ago today bcp concurences softwares which seems to be much less expensive to level, I do not certainly refererais this choice even if I have to relearn everything ... but it is a debate that has not place in this notice

The windowing project'm tired, so definitely need a dual screen display or LED work comfortably, do not be my error with this kind of mobile version ... it seems that the V7 promises to be better, but aesthetically I find it pathetic when you see that some plug in to offer quality graphics, plus ca will make certain functions more fun ... I regret that steinberg does not make this leap that could make it a soft edge is ... even though I too like most line 6 graphics do they know, like Toontrack and many others ...

There is no good after to say about the sound quality of the possibilities of working with Cubase ... although some have been able to grow VST, others are in my opinion are far from the level for this kind of app (yuck VST Amp Rack / the Multicomp which is nothing complicated) Bravo for reverbs / modulations me like a little stingy Halion the base I necessarily add the sound options for at least one base worthy ... then holes are plug ins that I happily filled You with nomad factory qq well chosen to magnify a mix master.

Good even when I have to take an upgrade to V7 esthetisque despite its more questionable history ... to go with my choice after my current config + PC Card. I'll see if 2013 is the year of change because there is a bitter taste anyway ... 1000 € to invest between apps and extensions Steinbergs and updates over 2 years.

The installation is no problem, su mac os for me.
Some small instabilities before the last update, but after RAS.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have a mac mini i7, 16GB RAM, 1TB your HD. No problem ...

OVERALL OPINION

After 3 months of use: I must say that this conclusion is somewhat ambiguous;

This app has one of the best audio engine of the moment, this is undeniable.
Offer Vst very complete (and Padshop rétrologue are excellent).

Unfortunately, year after year, it becomes a big sequencer little "gas plant".
On to more tendency to tweak and try, just play!

For my part I just sell it and definitely stay on ableton Live and surprise,
Live on Studio Pro in 2.5!

Ps: I arranged already before cubase 5.
