First off, I tried to get the SX3 manuals from Steinberg.net but those failed so I have some questions for the Cubase-saavy because I'm really eying up SX like a sexual predator.
1) Does it support more than 16 channels via ReWire to Reason?
2) Is the automation clip or region snappable?
That's all I can think of for now, as they address a limitation with Sonar that irks me and a feature that I whet my whistle over that Tracktion is still missing.
Thanks,
Erik
Cubase questions (I tried to RTFM, it's down).

1) yes - but there are still limitations, as I wrote in the Sonar 5 has arive thread: One thing to be aware of concerning rewire & SX is that SX only supports mono rewire channels - so if you are rewiring stereo channels they show up as 2 mono channels in SX & one must then pan them left & right & send them to a group in order to apply VST fx to them etc.
This can also be a pain in projects with lots of rewire channels, especially in conjunction with some of SX's routing quirks e.g. if one uses group channels as sends & then decide to have another couple of rewire channels sent to a group one cannot then send the signal from that to an earlier group channel that is being used as a send - does that make sense?
In short one must plan carefully ahead when using SX & Reason rewired or things can get a little frustrating.
2) If you mean can you get automation to move with parts etc. - as far as i remember, it's a while since i've had experience of it.
You could try asking question 2 in more detail as steinberg.net, dunno what response you'd get though.
that bas guy hangs around here sometimes & he really knows his shit.

I ended up downloading the manual a few hours later and I found that automation can be enabled or disabled to follow parts and that there is no limit to the number of ReWire 'channels' in SX.
If anyone else knows otherwise or has a bit of information to share, I'm all ears... SX is starting to look beter than Sonar as it stands.
