5.0 out of 5 stars A big improvement over the VST version.
I've been a Cubase user for years now and when Cubase went from VST to SX, I was a little hesitant to try it at first. But being the curious person I am, I decided to go down to my local music store and mess around with it. It took me years to learn how to use Cubase VST (I even had too buy a book at Amazon to help me learn it) with it's weird, confusing,...

2.0 out of 5 stars SX MIDI drifts!
This used to be a very reliable program. Upgrading to SX has been a big disappointment. A few features that were great in VST 5.1 are missing, such as: fast left and right movement of the transporter, insert bars, keyboard shortcut for fixing the length of notes, etc.

If you import Cubase projects from previous versions, all audio fader settings and changes are lost...

2.0 out of 5 stars SX MIDI drifts!, April 5, 2004

This used to be a very reliable program. Upgrading to SX has been a big disappointment. A few features that were great in VST 5.1 are missing, such as: fast left and right movement of the transporter, insert bars, keyboard shortcut for fixing the length of notes, etc.

If you import Cubase projects from previous versions, all audio fader settings and changes are lost! So if you have previous Cubase versions and you are planning to revise some of your older work, do not un-install those versions.

The worst thing by far, though, is the MIDI drift. Check out the Cubase support forums, and you will find dozens and dozens of complaints (some dating back to late 2001) regarding drifting MIDI, which gets worse by the minute. You hit "record", you play a note exactly where it is supposed to go, and Cubase displays that note either too late or too early. In fact, if you are recording a sequence of notes, Cubase will either not record the beginning notes at all or playback notes that you think you already recorded a few beats ago while you are trying to record new notes!

While it is great that Steinberg decided to re-design their program from scratch, they should have spent more time testing it.

Or do they just want us to spend more money on upgrades?

I've been a Cubase user for years now and when Cubase went from VST to SX, I was a little hesitant to try it at first. But being the curious person I am, I decided to go down to my local music store and mess around with it. It took me years to learn how to use Cubase VST (I even had too buy a book at Amazon to help me learn it) with it's weird, confusing, non-user-friendly design. It took me minutes to learn Cubase SX. Cubase actually started a whole new program from scratch on this software and so you have a whole new, user-friendly, sequencing design that completely dwarfs the old retired Cubase VST. In conclusion, this program is easily Cubase's most amazing upgrade. If you want to hear endless hours of my music for free(Created using Cubase SX) just go to www.musicmartin.com/cdtwo
