If I'm not mistaken, this is the new permutation of the old Cubase vs. Cakewalk argument. I use Cubase and I'm 95% happy with the sequencing abilities it offers. If you ask me, the small manual is a huge drawback. My biggest knock against Steinberg is lack of support in terms of manuals and unanswered emails. Additionally, Cubase doesn't offer a whole lot in the way of precise audio editing functions. As I've used Cubase more to records my original material, beef it up with effects and mix it down I've wanted to do more with the samples. The friendlier solution I've come across from my discussion with Kent Williams (Chaircrusher) is to run Sound Forge for sample editing, then import the wave files back into Cubase or just arrange in Sound Forge. As I understand it Recycle is comparable. Pro Tools is supposed to be the best. However, people were talking about Pro Tools earlier as though it sequenced, and I believe their sequencing product designed to work with Pro Tools is Studio Vision. Both cost an arm and a leg though. All told, for my dollar I am happy with Cubase, but I'm looking for an advanced audio editor. Another thing to consider is to stop by the Cubase and Logic user groups. Both will provide hours worth of horror stories. The fact remains, there is no perfect product still. I can only recommend doing A LOT of research and trying them out if you get the chance. An aside: __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
