Initial Impressions: Cubase SX & Creamware

The L2 is constantly in autoblack-mode opposed to the UV-22 plug. Whith SX you should get the "UV22HR" which is better IMO. But which dither noise you use depends on the style of music and the material...

Thanks for the feedback. What's IMO? (sorry, I'm a little on the green side)

Do any of you feel XP is more stable or a better choice for audio work than ME or 98?

oh yes it is more stable, definitly! I love it

BUT you need to optimize it a bit (just like any OS actually), there is a thread by Subhuman on this site and another one int he computers forum over at http://www.FutureProducers.com which explains the things you can disable (the magic of modularity) etc.

Had no crash whatsoever, XP is excellent for audio.

I can sell my vst/32 package on Ebay (I will) and easily get my $150 that I spent on the upgrade back!

You might want to check your Cubase license agreement first. I may be wrong but I don't think you're allowed to sell the VST/dongle separately.

I'd be selling the entire thing, the whole contents including the box. The user would know before hand that they could not upgrade as it's already registered.

You are right though, I don't know the exact legalities, but I see people seeing Logic / Cubase / Sonar / Whatever all the time (not just on Ebay).

As much $$ as I've spent on Steinberg software over the years, they can try and hunt me down for re-selling VST!

sx have some nice new things, specily undo, recordings, wave editorings, new track mixer...

but:
- drum map - without 4 adjustable levels,
- markers and locators - marker track isn't always "on top", left/right locator moving.
(un)logical editor are craps!!
also i don't like new automatisaton.
i don't know how to hide instrument's track what i don't use (in track mixer).
i don't know how to hide midi ports what i don't use (giga's ports, microsoft midi maper, microsoft synth...)
automatic seting on "record enable" in the track mixer (on the track is ok), make me crazy!! also many little things what is hard for me to explain!

i'm disapointed!!

If you (as I understand is the case) upgraded from cubase VST 5.x, you did not get a new dongle. Your SX Upgrade would be useless to anyone unless you sold your VST 5 version (CD + printer port dongle) with it.

I'm not sure you understand, I'll explain further.

Cubase VST/32 5.x uses the older style, parallel dongle... you are correct.

Cubase SX uses a new USB dongle that is completely different from the old VST dongle.

When you upgrade directly with Steinberg from VST/32 or any VST for that matter to SX, you do not have to return your old dongle as they have done in prior upgrades.

This leaves me with my entire "old" VST/32 box, dongle and CD's.

I believe this intent on behalf of Steinberg was a gift of some sort. VST after the next update (maybe two) will no longer be supported in the sense that no further releases will come. It's the end of the line for that product.

Now I'm sure they (Steinberg) are hoping that most of it's users will use their old dongles on a 2nd PC with system link to run more audio tracks or vsti's. I won't be doing this, so aside from letting a friend borrow my old dongle (which I'm doing right now), I don't have much use for a "outdated" product that's no longer supported.

The logical alternative is to try to do something other than let it collect dust in the closet.
