If your ead into the 64 bit stuff its not native 64 bit - ie its not really making use of the 64 bit OS its just able to address more memory - the 2 gig of 32 bit looks like plenty to me - espcially with super freeze function

so im still not convinced to buy an athlon

It's not native 64-bit compiled but it still requires native 64-bit drivers.

Also, Intel has their own chip ("Nocona", I think) compatible with AMD64 extensions so users don't have to go the AMD route.

The main advantage of the Athlon 64 over the Athlon XP or Intel is the on-die memory controller
larger memory addressing and 64bit registers are an extra

yeah all hardware needs 64 bit drivers if running on a 64 bit system - and m-audio are the only people i know of who have one out. But my point wasnt about athlons - just about the 64 bit thing

its steinberg hype cos its clearly not a real 64 bit app - who do they think they are ? apple

I am very, VERY disappointed about the SX3 feature list. The Score editor for example (one of the weakest facilities in Cubase) sees only exactly 4 (four) minor improvements. What a letdown...

I find it amazing how many people depend on the 'score' function of SX. I never thought of it as such a program. It's obviously not it's focal point, nor one of its strengths.

That's OK. I'm amazed at the number of people that rely on MIDI when there are cool things like real instruments around.

But it certainly doesn't mean my viewpoint is the correct one.

I can see how an integrated score would be THE focal point for MANY users, were it useful and full-featured.

Ok?

I use the score function in Cubase primarily as an editing viewer. I am very comfortable with notation and can often "see" problems faster in that milieu. For actual scoring, however, I use Sibelius and export the MIDI file to Cubase where shaping is much easier.

I like the look of the new features, but it is pretty crazy that we still can't re-arrange the order of insert effects. I also couldn't stop myself from laughing outloud as the narrator explained how "when you switch workspaces, the changes you made to unlocked workspaces are still there when you go back". Wow, what a feature - you mean Cubase doesn't just randomly ignore edits that I make? Then again, given the whole automation/freeze problem, I guess customers would have reason to wonder...

I'm a little bit disappointed. Apparently SX3 will not come with a virus included.

On a more serious note, though:
What about SL3? Will it be out a month after SX,as always?

Cheers, Jo

Oh please, you wouldn't be a user of FruityLoops would you?

Now their supposed "lifetime free upgrades" are a real joke. FruityLoops used a pretty slick, dirty and successful campaign in their touting of a lifetime free upgrades policy. One of the very reasons I dumped FL was because of this very reason.

Yes, their 'free upgrades' are a marketing con - they simply changed the name of Fruity Loops to 'FL Studio' and voila - a 'new' product, which 'lifetime upgrade' customers don't get. I was considering buying FruityLoops before they did this.

If they want to really make money, they should put the price down to £30, put it in every Game and Electronics Boutique store in the country, and they would sell tens if not hundreds of thousands. Magix are doing fine, Ejay are doing fine, and their software doesn't compare to FLStudio.

NEW CUBASE SX 3 SIMPLY MINDBLOWING !!!!
