Just learned something cool about Cubase

If you click down the mouse scroll wheel, it becomes a 1 shot pan (hand) tool so you can move any window around like in drawing programs. This is probably old news for some of you, but I've been wondering why this wasn't in Cubase for ages while a number of other sequencers has this tool through various key command combinations. It was right under my nose all this time and I never knew it. LOL. This kind of smart navigational functionality totally makes my day because it relieves oodles of depressing scrolling and resizing of windows.

LOL. Yeah, I got to wondering about that and decided to try it in every window I could find and guess what, it also works with FL Studio.

I'm surprised there's anything "cool" about Cubase... I tend to think of it as the host equivalent of "your grandmother's Buick". It gets you there, but it's probably not what you want to drive to prom.

Like every other host or audio software, there's plenty cool about it as well as plenty that could be better. I've bounced from sequencer to sequencer for years and only recently decided that Cubase has most of what works well for me. I love the simple way it deals with VST instruments. It seems like most are designed to work primarily with Cubase, and if they manage to work with other hosts, then that's cool too. But my experience with some of the new plugins or multi-timbral plugins has been very positive with Cubase. I find that there are things that simply don't even work in other hosts and I never knew it until I started using them in Cubase. Simple stuff like the scroll wheel works for a certain plugin in Cubase, but not in the host I'd been using it in before. Certain controls are already programmed in my midi keyboard so that it controls certain aspects of one of my favorite plugins as well as my external sound module. I never knew it while using the other hosts because none of that actually worked. So yeah, there are definately cool things about Cubase. I'm glad I finally found what works best for me so I can quit host hopping. I even uninstalled a couple of others to make it official in my mind. Last obstacle, upgrading to SX3. What I've been hearing is making me very worried about the move. The last thing I want is to join the dongle carrying crowd and have yet another poor copy protection scheme to deal with.dougsyo wrote:I'm surprised there's anything "cool" about Cubase...

I use SX3 - started with SX1 when Logic was raped by Apple. (Best move I ever made - thank you Apple 
) You've needed a dongle all along, unless you run cracks. Dongles are pissers, but SX3 is worth the hassel. The annoying thing about Cubase is that they do all these cool things, and don't tell you about it. The Steinberg forum can be depressing, with all these young crack users complaining about missing features they would like to see, when all along there are these cool things waiting to be discovered. Case in point: I was really pissed when the track mono button disappeared from SX1. But what you get instead is 2 new panning options. Apart from the normal left/right panning, you can get dual stereo, so you can pan both L & R to the Centre (for mono), or both to the left, or both to the right.
It may not be perfect, but I don't think there is anything truely better. I love VST and VSTi - I don't particularly care which host, but SX3 works great for me.
