Overall Satisfaction with Cubase
Initially, Cubase was utilized simply because a free version came with a USB audio interface that I purchased. Since then, I've upgraded because the software was so great and I just wanted to expand what I could do with it. I've been able to do record multitrack and master with ease with very little previous experience. I was also given stems recorded from other software that I was able to edit easily.
- Ease of use
- Clear, user-friendly interface
- Stable and glitch free
- Some documentation is confusing and may be different than the version you have
- Finding how to set up more complex audio environments can be cumbersome
- Audio library can be a little confusing
- Integration with Waves plugins and VSTs
- Multitrack recording
- Efficient mastering
- Ease of use minimizing learning time
- Cost effective
- Ability to quickly produce a quality product
Pro Tools is an industry standard for a reason, but does come at a cost and with a learning curve. I've found that Cubase is a great place to start, having the ability to do very advanced things, but without the need for it. While my experience has been limited with other DAWs, I think it's been worth the (small) investment.
