Someone saw through the fogThank **CK everyone disagrees!. Seriously!
Thats why we are soo god damn lucky to be living in an age where, not only are the hosts insanely powerful, but greatly different in their GUI's and interfaces.
It means there's something for everyone!. Logic, Cubase, Sonar, Digital Performer etc etc etc
We should count our blessings of having such diverse choice with great power, than waste time arguing over what is 'best'
YES!! Someone who sees eye-to-eye with me exactly. Automatic crossfades, so simple, so effortless. In SX3, by contrast, if I have 3 contiguous clips of audio, and I crossfade the first 2 (by selecting and pressing 'X') ... and then I want to crossfade into the final clip, I can't do it by simply selecting and pressing 'X' again, as it'll just bring up the crossfade editor instead. I have to select the last clip, and then press 'X'. And lord help us if we want to adjust the fade range. Such a hack, such a pain. Give us automatic crossfades with simplicity, and call it a day. People will rejoice. (And notably, this isn't even something that would break compatibility with old projects.)bduffy wrote:You know what Cubase really needs to nick from Vegas? Automatic crossfades. No hitting "X" every damn time! Vegas is still the fastest, lightest multitrack editor I can think of; we still use it at work for most project. For sound fx and foley, it's just so fast; no "Import to Pool-and-convert" garbage, stretch, reverse, crossfade instantly. It'd be nice if Cubase could get that fast with editing; I tend to resist it for large multimedia projects. But it's tha shiz for mixing music.

Have you looked at SX's 'Auto Fades Settings' menu?MacQ wrote:YES!! Someone who sees eye-to-eye with me exactly. Automatic crossfades, so simple, so effortless.

You could select the second clip only and press 'X' to get 2 crossfades at once.MacQ wrote:In SX3, by contrast, if I have 3 contiguous clips of audio, and I crossfade the first 2 (by selecting and pressing 'X') ... and then I want to crossfade into the final clip, I can't do it by simply selecting and pressing 'X' again, as it'll just bring up the crossfade editor instead.

hmmm,popsych wrote:I currently use two hosts. samp and logic. If logic gets the audio of samp or if samp gets midi/environment like logic i will be in heaven. The fact that cubase adds new features is because it was lacking to begin with. Show me essential features which changed from SX1 till SX3 and were not bug fixes.deggy wrote:...
point is though, I think that at the rate things are going, Cubase will probably be the better choice in the long run because Apple is only really releasing bug fixes of their sequencer for the forseeable future (and then charging us $70 US to get the upgrade sent out to us). At the time I made the switch, I was pissed though that steinberg was releasing a FULL PAID update every almost annually. That sucks too. That said, the difference in the functionality of the freeze function between SX1 and SX2 or SX2 and SX3 is pretty impressive. but seriously, you could have gotten it right the first time (like Emapple)...
I am not bashing Cubase. I'm not saying go for logic. What I am trying to say is that one should try ALL possible hosts (even animals
damn i loved that game... but I was all about Spy Hunter and Return of the Jedi... also Predator was amazing as well. I used to play that game for hours...tee boy wrote:Mate, Commando on the 64 made me the man I am today!deggy wrote:hehe, anyone remember the NES vs. sega thing or the coke vs. pepsi thing when you were a kid.

I could give two bleeding shits what other people use.
your HSG.
damn, i used to love commodore 64 when i was a kid. when that nintendo thing came out and you didn't have to wait for the game to load, i was in heaven. then i turned 12...

that's just criminal IMO. My Cubase VST dongle went broke once, thanks to the honest shopkeeper at Midician (Ghent, Belgium) i got a new one right away though.Compyfox wrote:This is nothing new. Steinberg has this policy "if the dongle is damadged or lost, pay for a new license".
I actually think it is. On every Audio Track there's an Auto Fades button. Click on this and select the Crossfades tag to change the settings, then click the lil box called Auto Crossfades to activate it.bduffy wrote:I don't think "Auto-Crossfades" is the same thing, is it?
Yes, but does this work for you? This doesn't seem to create automatic crossfades, in the sense of Vegas or Sonar, where one clip dragged into another creates a crossfade...Majken wrote:I actually think it is.

Oh, and it's been in Cubase since SX1

Damage dongles can still be replaced without having to pay for a whole new license.cptgone wrote:that's just criminal IMO.
