I meant that - overall on balance - Cubase is pretty strong across the board. That doesn't actually keep me using it but generally speaking, electronic and/or acoustic music production wise, it covers a heck of a lot of the bases when compared to the conventional linear hosts like Sonar, Samp, PTLE, etc.dgkenney wrote:I'd argue with you if I knew what the hell that sentence meant
A more "non-conventional" host (imo) would be something like Live or FL Studio or similar... things that are particularly suited more for one thing than for using globally.
Doing great, thanks. Enjoying my son being home from college for the winter break.How are you Lawrence? Hope all is well in the New Year.
Can't say I've tried them all as extensively but none of the hosts I've actually tried handle various hardware synths and general midi hardware nearly as fluently as Cubase... so, point taken. Cubase communicates with the "outside world" of midi hardware better than any of them imo.Despite my PT allegiance, I just picked up a used Motif XS so I will be rooting for some nice features in Cubase 6 since it is so much easier to dump the Motif into Cubase. As said earlier or in another thread, just let me move the mixing channels around and I'll be happy(ier)
I hear you. I've committed to Studio One for the long haul so all of my recent work was done there. I haven't even launched Cubase in weeks. Studio One is pretty much the only host I use now.As to the VST/RTAS points...I think a lot if not most of the plugs I use come with both formats so it might be a non-issue -especially if PT 9 gains ground with the independence of HW.
