I stopped upgrading after version 2 of sx. At that point, I didn’t believe the new program would be bug free, and already had the features I needed to make music. People who look for ‘new’ features all the time are just substituting gear lust for real intent to create music.

Presonus is releasing Studio One which is cross platform & supports the VST 3 format. Only Cubase & Nuendo support this format:

It looks like they supporting the same logic as Steinberg more fx then instruments. It might be what I’m looking for but maybe it suits someone else so check it out.

Another thing companies copy each other as they attempt to outdo each other. Cakewalk uses the Acid loop format right after Acid came out. They just starting supporting VST sans wrapper two or three prior releases if I’m mistaken. I tried Sonar I didn’t like it plus I like to be cross platform with my applications as much as possible.
I heard ProTools isn’t the first come out with freeze tracks its was in Traktion first. ProTools supported audio first so everyone else got on the bandwagon. Propellerheads is not the first to come up the studio suite rack system. Arturia released Storm before Reason but Reason proved more popular.
Acid came up with a reliable way to manipulate loops so did Propellerheads Recycle & Ableton Live. Look at the mini van Crystler introduced this auto & everybody from Ford to Nissan has ripped it off. So that’s life.

I intend to upgrade to Cubase5. People should use what works for them. If Cubase is your DAW & you like it use it. If you love Sonar, DP or anything else use that program. If you feel you more than one DAW or DAE then use it. This ragging on what people use by others is pointless. The question isn’t what somebody else did but how they did it. Has it ever occurred to anyone that maybe Steinberg attempted to add such a feature but failed maybe they got it right who knows & cares. I want to create music I like some features in LoopMash & Groove Agent One such as Rex file support but I found my own solution:

Can’t beat free it supports audio files besides Rex it’s not perfect but it gets the job done.

dear Peter Kirn,
i don’t know how old you are, but i’ve started to use cubase on my atari in 1992 and it was the first sequencer with visual feedback which later all the other sequencers copied, then i bought an atari falcon with 50mb hard drive and the first cubase audio (8 tracks only and 8 bit recording only), again this was the first sequencer featuring audio recording, brilliant! then by 1996 i bought my first apple mac and cubase 2 which featured internal vst/fx and vst/instruments, great, it is steinberg which were the first to develop this and all the other companies copied it again. my point is, steinberg is one of the most important developers for computer musicians up to date, the software is very reliable and has always been one step ahead of the others.

[...] as I am in portable gear, I never found myself considering the purchase of a NanoKONTROL. Just like Cubase’s new free iPhone software that turns your shiny Apple product into an external transport, the Korg NanoKontrol allows you to [...]

Cubase 5 ins’t worth upgrading, how can Steinberg introduce features that could have been added a lÃ¶ng time ago. They add a step sequencer because they saw SONAR doing it, then start supporting 64 bit audio now, that’s wack. The problem with steinberg being late with their features is beause they don’t care what the users of cubase say and want improved on the software, they add what they want. They can learn a lot from Cakewalk, A LOT. This is why sÃ¶nar will always, and i mean always lead when it comes to new features and of course dope unique once. Im sticking with Cakewalk till the end of my hearing. GOOD LUCK TO steinberg SUPPORTERS.

This upgrade is giving me the x64 support I’ve been craving. I can turn the PC into a true powerhouse (just add RAM) and get the reward of better performance in my DAW.
It’s giving more purpose to my MPD24 and my MPC programs can now be used inside my DAW.
Couple the improvements in 5 with the availability of hardware design specifically for Cubase and that should raise it far beyond comparison from the other DAWs except for ProTools and DP.
Consider Vista basic and home premium and x64 PT8 is not supporting…won’t put them out of the league but it makes them less attractive. DP Mac only (but is powerful as heck) so PC users can’t cash in on the Motu and DP combo.
Dant dant da daaa! Cubase 5 updates are awesome!
