h2eaux « Very good ... Installed »
Published on 10/28/11 at 15:50The weak point of this software, it is the installation process. I am in Windows XP SP3. The software on the CD is version 1.1.3.
First obstacle: the launch Cubase SX 3 is blocked by loading the plug-in MSI. After reading forum, it appears that there is a conflict between MSI and Internet Explorer 8! After uninstalling Internet Explorer 8, Cubase starts normally.
Second obstacle: version 1.1.3 released sound bad and jerky and crashes. After a day trying to fix the latency, etc. I read on a forum that in fact the version 1.1.3 is full of bugs and it is better to switch back to version 1.1.2 (downloadable after registration site motu). So I installed the 1.1.2 version, and there, the miracle, everything works perfectly!
One can also regret that the installation of the samples or in part manually (just copy-pre-DVD on your hard drive!).
In short, if you have read, everything will be fine, others are planning two days of hassle ... Have paid € 249 for this mess, I did not like at all!
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I'm running Windows XP SP3 with QuadCore Q6600 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM, Sound Card Creative Labs X-Fi Elite Pro with Cubase SX3. After installation of version 1.1.2 (see implementation ...), everything works wonderfully. I sleep and have a song with two parallel sessions in Cubase, and I have suffered no limitation. The sound is very realistic and can be surrounded in an atmosphere of symphony orchestra. Each instrument can have its own audio track in cubase (might regret that this is not the default) to set a specific effect on such an instrument.
Operation is very easy for anyone familiar with the operation of cubase and virtual instruments. The sound banks are easily accessible. Rendering speed is excellent for playing with sensitivity instruments.
For a live game, the tracks each use a 4x16 MIDI channel according to the various MIDI input of the PC and the channel number.
Finally, a customization of certain parameters of the ADSR envelope, filter functions and modulation to customize the rendering of instruments.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for more than one week, and once the big hassle of the installation, forgive quickly through the rendering quality and ease of daily use.
In terms of price / quality ratio, compared to a hardware synthesizer, it is very good, on the other hand, installation problems could regret having paid for such a hassle!
