Cubase Gets A High Score
Overall Satisfaction with Cubase
I've been a composer for film, television and advertising for over 13 years. I've been using Cubase since 2011, it's what I've used to score many award-winning projects, it's easy to learn (I migrated over to it from Cubase), the technology is cutting edge, and it's pretty stable. Overall, it's a great product to use for scoring/podcasting/audio mixing, and I'd definitely recommend it for any new composer.
Pros
- Writing music to video
- Quick rendering
- Easy learning curve
- Moderately priced for anyone starting out in the industry
Cons
- Shortcuts aren't easy to learn
- Can be a bit of a resource hog
- Upgrades don't necessarily have enough features to make the worthwhile
- Overpriced upgrades
- Can be a resource hog with RAM when you have a large session
While Pro Tools is the industry standard when it comes to recording and audio mixing, I've found Cubase to be superior when it comes to writing with MIDI. Also, it comes with a lot of features (MP3 exporting, time code) that Pro Tools charges you extra for. They're both about the same price to buy, but learning Cubase is much easier than Pro Tools, which can be a bit cumbersome because it does so much.
