So it looks like Steinberg is following suit with the trend in software manufacturers to make products for the lowest common denominator. Since Steinberg dropped the SX, SL, SE business when they launched version 4.

Cubase users rejoice! Or at least grumble a little less. This update has fixed a lot of performance issues and also includes a few “minor enhancements”. Pretty stoked that I can finally open my Nuendo sessions in C4. But wtf are the VST3 plug-ins with side-chain!? (more…)

I’ve been a huge fan of Cubase since first using SX2 a few years ago, so I’ve been anticipating this latest update for a while, and was impressed with it when it finally came out. The wait between Cubase SX 3 and Cubase 4 was long, well over a year, but offers a new look, new effects, new instruments, new track types, and some huge new ways to actually use Cubase to make better music.
