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.
I use Cubase SL System 4 (included audio interface serves as a dongle). Before that, Project Pack with Cubasis and again, included soundcard served as a dongle. No dongles or cracks necessary.

100% agreed. Btw, I bought Cubase SE the minute Steinberg dropped the dongle protection (with V1.0.7). My best investment in software ever.

cakewalk seems to be doing ok with their minimal protection scheme. on the other hand you're not allowed to resell the app, but then if you like it, who cares ? many sample cd have the same 'no resale' terms.

and hell, i'm too lazy to resell things. i've still got a collection of hardware packed away in boxes...

i use cubase LE (came with a little usb pre that i bought for overdubs). but i need more effects per channel. so i keep tracktion around for some of the more high density edits. i like them both. cubase has some things the other doesnt. the other has things that cubase doesnt. and i can still afford groceries. nice...

and i don't have to worry about getting kicked in the dongle.

woot!
