I had been using a cracked copy of cubase 3 since it came out, because i was using it so much i did the best thing & went out & bought the legit copy of Cubase 4, the only thing i can say is wow
The new Halion One Vst it comes loaded with is immense, so many lush sounds like electric pianos, strings & synths to
There are also loads of new presets loaded into things like the compressor, a mass of eq preset to which is handy for me coz i am not the best at using my ears when it comes to rogue frequencies
I would deffo get this mate as it also comes with a massive book on how to use every single thing within it
They have introduced a few nice extra touches like Instrument tracks & the new media bay which scans your hard drive for all your samples & loads em in this nice media bay feature
At the minute i think its actually half price, i bought mine from Sound Control in Manchester for £395. Well worth the money in my opinion.
Just off topic i have also just invested in the Refx Nexus Vsti, cant wait for that bad boy to land on the door mat
Fully recommend getting it fella
