IÂ´ve senn a new video on SteinbergÂ´s site. Thery you get more info on the new hardware. I think IÂ´ll buy a CC121 because in my opinion in will speed up my workflow very much. Maybe you should take a look at the video too.

poor.
this video isnÂ´t awesome or even attractive. I donÂ´t understand why they canÂ´t make anything what is more contemporary.
I like cubase, but other companies are much more qualified in giving their customer a feeling of contentment.

I’m a Cubase user for 9 years now adn I really like it very much. In my studio it works fine, and –honestly I need to have a stable system that works. During my SAE studies I had to use Logic for a while and for me it was horrible!!! Just the same cumbersome as other cheap rubbish stuff like Reaper, FL etc. I use Cubase with my MacPro for music production and I love it.

Will have a look at the new hardware soon ((seems to be very exciting for music guys….yeah :-)

I started on Cubase SL2 about 3 years ago, and a year ago upraded to Cubase Studio 4. At first i had alot of problems. But over time, and with updates, it is now stable. I have gotten to know it more and more over time, and the more I use it, the more i love it. I have used Logic a fair bit as well and HATE it!!! It is honestly the most illogical program I have ever used. But I have friends who love it, and it makes sense to them. I think certain programs are just for certain minds. Cubase is for me. And as far as the new hardware goes, I couldn’t care less about the inputs, but I am VERY excited about the control surface. It will save me time and focus me more on being creative and not screwing around with the mouse as much. You can disagree and bash Cubase if you want, but for me, it’s great!

Well IÂ´m using Cubase since years and it never let me down. Current C4 is rocksolid stable on my dedicated system. I love its workflow and ease of use, i never et in the way.

After IÂ´ve seen the protools level integration of the hardware with Cubase I’m really ready to upgrade my audio hardware! You CAN’T compare these interfaces with a FF800 or MOTU or anything else. The integration with Cubase will be really key here.

I will never, ever cease to be amazed at how stupid audio companies think their customers are, not how aweful their promos are.

You seen the one for Camel Audio’s new Alchemy?
It’s entertaining in it’s own right – the only one I can think of!

I am still unholy pissed that Steinberg is who owns the plug-in standard most of the world uses, and they certainly don’t need to be the ones controlling metadata! God, I hope they didn’t steal my VST categorization metadata idea. I swear to Lotan that I’ll rip their uptight asses right off their pale legs.

Try this on for size for DAW innovation:

In fairness, hideous marketing videos aside, I think terms like “bloated” probably get thrown around too much. Cubase and others of its generation do what they do because some of their users said, hey, I want to do x and y!

The question is, how well do they do what they do — for your own needs and preferences. I certainly wouldn’t count out Cubase on that; it’s an exceptionally mature program and has always been at the leading edge for things like VST implementation (not surprisingly) and MIDI features. It is worth having another look at Reaper, though, in that it seems very feature complete and undergoing constant improvements. I think Reaper is probably doing a better job of addressing things like how MIDI functionality works in its updates, which for a lot of us is more important than features designed to get us to buy more hardware. (Sorry, but it’s true — my existing controllers and audio interface “integrate” just find, thank you!)
