Well, Hello! :):):)
Greetings, my extremely excellent friend Subpantelis! :):):) Br0d 14:58, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
I have a few thoughts & questions:
1) I am a current CubaseVST 5.1 user. I have read some negative comments about CubaseSX (esp version 1) re: "loss" of MIDI functionality. My understanding is that CubaseSX 3 addresses these problems to some extent and also adds a lot more audio functionality. So my question: Is the evolution of the SX series worth discussing here?
[Yes - I have moved from 3.7 through all version to SX3.1 and there some real significant TECHNOLOGY - UNDO history for example, 'in-place editing' etc. I will definitely be building on the knowledge base here]
2) Any thoughts re: the impact that Yamaha's purchase of Steinberg will have on the direction of Cubase? [Is this really the place for speculation?]
3) Is it worth adding something on the influential role that Cubase played in the evolution of the modern MIDI+audio sequencer? [Yes - the colds facts speak volumes]
1)Could it be discussed here? Technically yes. Would the Wikipedians prefer it? Probably not. Would the discussion be more thorough and attended over at cubase.net? Certainly. Does my answering my own questions annoy you? I thought so.
2) Motorcycle VSTis. And a better budget.
3) Absolutely. I think its "underground" history should be included too. And there is no mention of its Pro24 predecessor. Fear not, once the rapscallions at cubase.net get ahold of this page it will probably undergo many [beneficial] edits.

[edit] =======================================
Adding to this:
There needs to be a section on the Atari and Cubase as the first real midi sequencer. So far, the article skips from Cubase to Cubase VST 5 to Cubase SX without describing the evolution of the product from midi sequencer to digital audio workstation or the addition of supported platforms.
Am I right in thinking that later versions of Cubase incorporated C-Lab Notator? Or something like that? Chris Thornett 22:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Could we add a section for listing well known artists that record with Cubase?
[edit] Copy protection section
I don't understand the purpose of the information about cracks in this section. It certainly isn't usual to include info about cracks for other software on wikipedia, so why for Cubase then?
RE the copy protection section: the reason I think this has been included is because of Steinberg being the most successful company at keeping hackers at bay. I believe it holds the longest record of keeping hackers at bay for a popular piece of software. Therefore I think it should stay at least on a trivia level.

As far as I know, the dongle protection was broken by the underground team H2O. While remaining anonymous in terms of personal identity, the team itself is a widespread name in piracy of audio applications. The articles insinuation that they are anonymous is misleading in the sense that most cracking teams do not publish a list of members, however it varies whether a group will claim responsibility for their work by 'tagging' it with their group title. I would change the article myself but I cannot verify whether the group was actually first, so I suggest simply removing the implication the team was unidentified. 3dom 07:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No mention of SL series in article
There is no mention on the SL series in the article - I'm not sure of the differences myself but perhaps someone who is more experienced could add some info about it? Mobius131186 17:42, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
The specific feature differences between SL, SE, and SX are comprehensively broken down at KVR Audio. I would add the information to the article myself but I'm uncertain as to what differences to mention (there's far too many to include in an article of this size). 3dom 07:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed Paragraph 1.
I'm sorry! I know, I know -- I could have edited it. But frankly, it seems as though paragraph two rather nicely summed up most of what was in the first paragraph. If anyone objects strongly, then at least clean it up (if you decide to restore the original text). I'm not a bull-in-a-china-shop kind of writer. It just felt cleaner and more to-the-point without all of that stuff in the opening paragraph.
