interesting that the upgrade page doesn't show SX2, hopefully that will get a more reasonable upgrade price.

Also, I couldn't find moving of FX in the inputs as one of the features in the pdf. Hope that's there and I'm just blind.

i don't care who says what...

this is a nice upgrade.

Cubase may never be on the level of fruity loops or orion

but we can still get excited about nice new features

Even I must say (after watching the demo movies) that it seriously doesn't look all that bad.
Seems as if they took care about a lot of ergonomical things...
In place MIDI editing surely is a nice thing!

I'm actually pretty excited about this. My hopes for Steinberg were extremely low but this is looking awesome.

it does look nice.

i like it.

but hello.. my wallet hurts.

i don't like software upgrades... they happen too often and it just means death for bugfixes for the previous versions....

I didn't read this whole threat, so maybee my question is allready answered: will this new version of Cubas finaly have side-chaining (so i can use some cool side-chain compressor fx)?

ericj23 · Post by **ericj23** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 9:52 pm

no sidechains yet - the sx3 protocol is not out yet - i must admit i want to try it to see if the ergonimics really have improved

cos £100 for a new time stretch engine and mixer maps i dont need isn't cutting it !

is there gonna be a demo ????

the insert effects are still _not_ movable in their order?

isn't that sad?

Indeed it is. Also, I'd like to see Cubase SX adapt the more logical snap version of "relative" snap like it's in most other software (samplitude, logic, fl studio etc.). It's really silly to have to use that 'marker' thing for audio to tell the software where the downbeat is to be able to move an audio clip 'relatively' with snap on.

In the piano roll it's even worse without relative snap as I can't move around parts with snap on that start a split second early to the beat!! I HATE that about cubase and is still the nr 1 reason for me not to use it for any composing.

Otherwise SX3 looks really promising

Cheers!

MEGA EDIT: THEY FINALLY ADDED THIS FEATURE!!!

They finally have relative snap!! AWESOME!

FINALLY SOMEONE!
This has been THE key feature for me to make the move to Logic back then!
And it'll remain to be one of the key features for NOT using Cubase - unless they implement it!

I have to make a new post just to announce this: in the "all new features" PDF I quote thee this:

" Relative snapping of objects: parts keep their relative start position when moved by snap values "

Now lets just hope that this is true for ALL editors, including the piano roll.

Cheers!

YAY! That could make my day, seriously!

Uh oh... don't say that out too loud... let's just hope!

Agreed. And relative snap is in there...

I thought this bit about Windows XP 64-bit edition support was interesting -

Karl Steinberg: Questions & Answers on 64-bit Technology wrote: On 64-Bit support-

Q: What are the system requirements? Is there a hardware/software recommendation for people who would like to work in 64-bit today?
A: If you want to test it you will need an AMD 64-bit processor system and Windows XP 64-bit Edition (currently. a public beta version is available at the Microsoft site). Intel will also support this technology with suitable processors in the future. In addition, compatible hard ware drivers are needed. Some manufacturers offer beta drivers for evaluation. (1)

(1) A 64-bit compatible Syncrosoft Dongle Driver will be needed to evaluate SX3 on a 64-bit version of Windows XP. Steinberg will communicate availability of this driver once it is released.

The 64-bit dongle driver isn't ready, how long will it take our audio and MIDI hardware to gain 64-bit drivers?

In practical terms, this is a non-issue as most people will run it in 32-bit Windows XP, but maybe it will serve as a necessary push to the audio hardware manufacturers for 64-bit drivers?

NEW CUBASE SX 3 SIMPLY MINDBLOWING !!!!
