Wow! How much? That stops me Maybe that's true, but people prefer Cubase for orchestral music and dislike FL
Thanks! I forgot about PT, but never used. That's because I've heard a lot bad things about PT with bugs, about tyranny of Avid with these cards, etc and some people switching to Cubase. They think Cubase is more stable and creative - Celldweller is an example
You can use any daw and get results,but the fact is in pro studios you will find mostly PT and Cubase,following with Samplitude,Sonar,Ableton... Reaper suffers under the cluster of trying to be an all around daw yet has too many tools suffocating the workflow,Studio one has the worst cpu handling of all the daws. Its up to you,if you do bands perhaps go with PT if you do orchestral music,sound design as well as bands and electronic music go with Cubase,those Germans know what they are doing,its currently the most advanced daw on the market.
But what advantages Cubase has? VCA mixers and.. although as far as I know PT had that for a long time, now Logis also has VCA
I will tell you honestly. If you are new and work with small amount of tracks and a normal amount of plugins perhaps go with S1,even though its a cpu hog and misses a lot of tools for midi and audio editing its cubase`s little brother.(ex cubendo developers). PT is a found in many high class studios around the world,if you do live recordings,bands etc go with PT. If your aim is to work with big projects,cinema,sound design and live bands go with cubase,its the main daw for most big league producers. If you are short on money go with Reaper,i wouldnt choose it but obviously they are doing something right plus its the lightest on the cpu. If you work with loops and dj-ing etc go with ableton or fl. Advantages of Cubase?Besides having the most advanced /fast mixer of all daws,fast workflow and is rock stable under heavy usage. Most advanced midi editing tools.Light on the cpu. Steinberg have introduced several industry-standard software protocols. These include: ASIO (a low-latency communication protocol between software and sound cards) VST (a protocol allowing third-party audio plugins and virtual instruments) LTB (providing accurate timing for its now-discontinued MIDI interfaces) VSL (an audio/MIDI network protocol which allows the connection and synchronisation of multiple computers running Steinberg software
Some people prefer Cubase other prefer other DAW's. That is a matter of choice. Just like some people like Ford cars and other like Toyota. I can say that from my experience Cubase has went backwards in latency issues from 5.5. I have 30 yrs + Computer experience, It's not my PC it's Cubase. Cubase looks really pretty though if that is what you are after. I mean Music is all about the way a DAW looks not how it sounds or how responsive it is and how many plugin's you can run. Me personally, I like lean and mean like Linux.
All DAW's do the same shit, if you are a newbie I suggest Ableton. No dongle bongle, alot of tutorials and how to on the Youtube, no 30 windows open for one project, very good included plugins, warping if you work with loops, and many other easy to do stuff. It's good for beginners and also for advanced users. Fuck dongle bongle software!
the usb e-licenser of course !!!!! you can wear it around your neck, to attract girls for instance, works better than an iPoo
????? IMO it has nothing to do with Cubase... two different universes. Anyway, Cubase would be my choice. Why? - `cause it has balls!
If you don't know what is the difference between Cubase, FL and Live, you really should download the trials instead of wasting time asking others.

Here are over 130 instructional videos on the Reaper web site. http://www.reaper.fm/videos.php REAPER (Rapid Environment for Audio Production, Engineering, and Recording) check it out.
I use Reaper as a tape machine and mixer, and I utilize external plugins. I like the quick loading and light footprint. I can be up and running in seconds using my templates, ready to compose my next masterpiece I would like to try Cubase though, as it was the first DAW I ever used.
i have used many of the daws intensively for at least two years as my main daw. i started with cubase 5, went to live ?, went to studio one 1, studio one 2, then back to live 9, then because of working in the industry back to nuendo(cubase) 7 privately still using live 9. the reasons are that i was joung and wanted to find the "best sounding daw" or something like that i also played around with reason and samplitude for a few months. my personal winner is: ableton live 9 (for producing ANY kind of music - i mostly make orchestral and dance music). its only flaws are: no surround sound and routing audio is somewhat awkward. i prefer it over cubase because of this reasons: 1) the piano roll/midi editor. i can select notes based on velocity levels with a simple mouse drag, no scripts needed (i work a lot with velocities). i can draw clip-based, curved, fluent midi automation curves defined with only two points and can alter their length, steepness later with only one mouse-drag. in cubase clip-based midi automation is grid based, and creates many steps/curve points you cannot conveniently alter (except drawing a completely new curve). i use a lot of clip based automation, so this again is important for me. 2) the "rack-mentality" - i can "group" any audio effect (with nothing) - and this gives me a dry/wet signal path - (in other words, every plugin and stock effect and instrument can be used in parallel processing, with no need to create additional buses). 3) copy protection: i encountered two instances of nuendo 7 telling me i have not activated it's drum machine. (i have nek). sometimes it told me i have not activated the whole thing and it would not boot at all. and its dongle permanently blocks a usb slot. this are my main reasons - they are important for me cause the way i work very often involves workflows utilizing this features. but if recording, surround or working with video is an issue - the main thing you want to do, then cubase wins.
I'm using S1 since two years now (v2 then v3) and I NEVER faced an issue related to the CPU (and my 1st PC used a 5 years old Core2 Duo CPU).
I have 3 daws. Buy: 1) the one pros use. (It's nice to learn if you plan on making money someday). 2) The one YOU love personally the most for personal enjoyment. 3) The one most of your friends use the most to facilitate collaboration Last edited: May 26, 2016
If you are accustomed to Reaper and you get excelent results,then stick with it,if youre not comfortable with it you can demo Cubendo. Try the Elements just for the feel,though there are about hundred things missing in it compared to pro,but you get a general feel of how it works.
