Well, Hello! :):):)


Greetings, my extremely excellent friend Subpantelis! :):):) Br0d 14:58, 23 August 2005 (UTC)


I have a few thoughts & questions:

1) I am a current CubaseVST 5.1 user. I have read some negative comments about CubaseSX (esp version 1) re: "loss" of MIDI functionality. My understanding is that CubaseSX 3 addresses these problems to some extent and also adds a lot more audio functionality. So my question: Is the evolution of the SX series worth discussing here?

[Yes - I have moved from 3.7 through all version to SX3.1 and there some real significant TECHNOLOGY - UNDO history for example, 'in-place editing' etc. I will definitely be building on the knowledge base here]

2) Any thoughts re: the impact that Yamaha's purchase of Steinberg will have on the direction of Cubase? [Is this really the place for speculation?]

3) Is it worth adding something on the influential role that Cubase played in the evolution of the modern MIDI+audio sequencer? [Yes - the colds facts speak volumes]


1)Could it be discussed here? Technically yes. Would the Wikipedians prefer it? Probably not. Would the discussion be more thorough and attended over at cubase.net? Certainly. Does my answering my own questions annoy you? I thought so.

2) Motorcycle VSTis. And a better budget.

3) Absolutely. I think its "underground" history should be included too. And there is no mention of its Pro24 predecessor. Fear not, once the rapscallions at cubase.net get ahold of this page it will probably undergo many [beneficial] edits.

[edit] =======================================

Adding to this:

There needs to be a section on the Atari and Cubase as the first real midi sequencer. So far, the article skips from Cubase to Cubase VST 5 to Cubase SX without describing the evolution of the product from midi sequencer to digital audio workstation or the addition of supported platforms.


Am I right in thinking that later versions of Cubase incorporated C-Lab Notator? Or something like that? Chris Thornett 22:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)


Could we add a section for listing well known artists that record with Cubase?

[edit] Copy protection section

I don't understand the purpose of the information about cracks in this section. It certainly isn't usual to include info about cracks for other software on wikipedia, so why for Cubase then?



RE the copy protection section: the reason I think this has been included is because of Steinberg being the most successful company at keeping hackers at bay. I believe it holds the longest record of keeping hackers at bay for a popular piece of software. Therefore I think it should stay at least on a trivia level.
