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

Installation fairly easy, but because of enervante authorizations and liscences.
Once installed all drives, the plugs are installed in the VST plugins folder ....
Some imncompatibilités with old VST.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months, I had to reinstall after a crash DD. re-authorization a little tedious (do not forget you entregistrer on site cubase.net)
I Cubase SX2 before .... but we recover habits.
48 audio tracks, VST 64 noon and 16 are sufficient for the amateur.
89 euros a box, I highly recommend this little software that provides access to one of the latest versions of Cubase without breaking the bank.

+ Management vst and MIDI

How would you rate the quality / price?

Cubase has become very affordable when you already have a full version, but still a significant sum to departure

With experience, you do again this choice?

yes cubase is a very good software and easy to take in hand

Installation and commissioning of the 64-bit windows 7 nickel.
Compatibility with RME drivers who form a tandem Cubase audio "implantable".
The manual is complete, but the most important is that the logic of this software is so intuitive you do not really need.

OVERALL OPINION

I use Cubase since the Atari, and it is true that it is as if I fell into it when I was little.
I was IT consultant specializing in Cubase for years, and now I know the software inside and out.
Today, the technique excites me more, and I'm of the composition.
Version 6 and Cubase Windows 7 is so transparent that it can not forget the technique for making music.
Is not this also what we did, with much less possibility at the time the magnetos and analogue sequencers ...
So, I suggest and highly recommend this fabulous tool for all those who want to do well and efficiently, rather than doing only talk gear without knowing how to use what they have ...

The installation is a crappy, like all current stuff! ilok key of crap that does not work a computer to another, finally gets worse (IK not the city!) so it's shit, but this is normal, nothing insurmountable.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

this is not the best, it makes all a bit "heavy" loading is long compared to the other, of course it depends on the vst's in it ... so that it runs smoothly, you need a good (see very very good) machine. For me I have to by one again, and I find that there is no room ... (I7quad, 2x500 + 1to DD, 32GB ram)

OVERALL OPINION

I started on cubase, I try another daw, but I always came back to cubase ... (I had the opportunity to test ProTools, Sonar X1, Reaper, Samplitude, etc ...) and I think it too late for me to change, too usual, and the more I like it ! Unlike many, I do not think it is a gas plant, open a track, assign a voice input and recording ... vst and the tool provided for the treatment of voice (better than melodyne!) or analog quantified and assigned a midi sound to the drum, it is very simple to do, I can not find the simplicity and effectiveness in other ...

I ordered Cubase 6 in January of 2012 I found the application very easy to install as with the older versions of the software. I didn't need to use the manual but I thought I'd go through and learn some new features since I haven't used the application since version 3 (yes I've been that out of tune with the app). I've used version 4 at a friends house but never really dug into it like i have with Cubase VST, Cubase SX and so forth. If you've used any version of Cubase SX you'll be able to move around cubase 6 with ease. I had no problem getting around the application at all but if you haven't used cubase the manual is user friendly

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I've been using Cubase 6 for a bout a month mainly for small vocal recording projects. I use it with windows 7 operation system. For me the experience have been nothing short of great. I haven't had any crashes or compatibility issues. The plugins I use a long with this DAW are

Native Instruments Komplete
Sampletank 2
Albino
SR 202 Drum machine
Maschine (as a plugin)

I also use Reason (in review mode)sometimes and it's been smooth. I don't have a ton of ram on my system (laptop) I'm running it quite well with 3 gigs of ram and a Dual Core Processor. if you can get a strong processor or have one that would be excellent and serve you well

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about Cubase 6 is it gets the job done. I was able to import older projects i had created into the new version without a problem. Cubase 6 was easy to pick up. Most people say once you've used one DAW the rest are pretty much the same. I find this to be true but especially true if you've used cubase before. I do wish the application was a little cheaper $300 but I mean I wish everything was a little cheaper. I've worked with many other DAWS such as

Pro tools
Logic
Ableton Live
Sonar

Cubase has always been better in my opinion as it's excellent in handling both audio as well as midi. Pro tools is good but not so versatile when it comes to midi Logic.. I could never get past the gui I love sonar but cubase just works for me better... Sonar would hiccup and crash Cubase not so much

Same old procedure...order the boxed version...wait...install. The install went without a hitch on both my PC and OSX set-up;
As a side note the Steinberg manuals are well written and easy enough to find anything quickly

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

On my Mac Book Pro 2.4 Ghz laptop...8 gb of RAM with the Motu 896mk3 that is a rock solid mobile recording set-up. I've been using Cubase since when it still was Cubase VST, which is more than 10 years ago. I also use Nuendo, Protools, Logic and Samplitude/Sequoia.

OVERALL OPINION

The biggest difference for most users that spend a lot of time in their DAW is whether the User Interface is bearable. From day one I preferred Cubase's and its bigger brother Nuendo's GUI to justt about anything.
In addition to this little things like unlike in Logic the software instruments aren't actually ancient. I love the VST 3 protocol for plug-ins. The way Cubase lets you comp tracks with their approach to separate lanes makes editing a breeze.
When tracking a band without a click track tempo mapping the recording is the fastest I've seen.
The included plug-ins, especially the Cloner are some of my favorites.
The stereo spectrum on tracks can a pan, balance or two individual controls. There is the talk back set-up which makes setting up separate head phone mixes so easy without a physical console.
Plug-ins can be run in addition to the usual insert or send concept also as an insert on the input if ever the need arises to print a plug-in.
Plus you can route the same input to multiple tracks.
Unlike ProTools or Lofic I've never had an issue opening an OMF session regardless of whether it cam from Logic, Protools, Samplitude/Swequoia or anything else.

The new amp simulations plug-ins are on par with the competitions, which unfortunately they're all useless to me.

Installation without problem.
Bossant on Nuendo up Submitted, there is no big diffrence level configuration or implementation.
No incompatibility with my hardware either.
Pdf manual is good for nature but hurts the eyes.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Install on a MacBook Pro 13 "2011 (2.3 GHz core i5 4GB of RAM and 128GB SSD) with a MOTU 828 mkII (Firewire)
No problem with the audio interface or the Mac.
I use 32-bit because some of the plugins do not work at all in 64 bits (including my Waves)
or they buggent to boot.
If not in 32 bits is stable trs.
For now, I used a mix of trio jazz / funk (14 tracks) with about 4 effects per track (Steinberg and Waves) + some reverbs, the Proco is only 30%.
VST3 plugins walk nickel and puff even less resource than before.
And the SSD is the high class performance levels.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for ten days.
I worked on Nuendo 1.6 (Personal), Nuendo and Pro Tools HD 4.3 (work).
I had one more touch Cubase for at least 8 years and what a joy to see that Nuendo has now caught up on a large number of functions.
Even if the two logs are not comparable because they do not have the same vocation. 6 found in many tools Cubase Nuendo v4 Submitted (see same v5), sometimes with DIFFERENT names but always the same efficiency.
I like the new features particulirement replacement battery ("Taken to-MIDI"), sub-tracks, and VariAudio (a blackjack and melodyne Intgr.
For now, I have not had time to test everything and j'e tames the news as and when the needs of the mix.

But when I compare the price of Nuendo and Cubase 5, 6 and that I take into account the use exclusively musical (and semi-pro) that I did ... There is no photo, I tell myself that I did well in 1000 and SAVE in addition I would have to invest in the expansion kit to find some features in Cubase Nuendo.

Steinberg Possdant the past ten years (Wavelab, Cubase and Nuendo), j'apprcie much the way things are things and I might stay their Fidler one time if they continue in this direction . APRS, we like it or hate it usability, tastes and colors ...
So yes I would do this choice.

Installation without any problem. Simple configuration for a regular ... We need to think a bit for a novice. The manual is sufficient for installation. One regret: Not yet French manual for detailed functions (probably soon)

OVERALL OPINION

Minimal CPU load I use it for 2 days in the studio of our association. I am a regular in Cubase. This version deserves to be fairly complete with the correct pitch, virtual amps, etc. for VST. The interface seems much improved, especially for the classification. Aesthetics is more successful. I had other versions of Cubase in the past. It deserves to be affordable, versatile and fairly complete.
In short, I use 8 g in 64-bit memory and it runs well! What happiness!
