Cubase 5

Anyone here use it? I just got a copy dirt cheap off a friend, he approached me as he'd heard about my recent venture into making my own music. At first he said do I use it and I thought he was asking for an opinion, so I told him I only use FL 9 at the minute. He was like well I've got a full copy of cubase 5 you can have for £20 if you like. So I go's and looks this up on this here interwebs and it's FUCKING expensive. Seeing as I don't torrent, there was no way I was passing this deal up. So I'm looking forward to trying this out.

Anyone have any experience?

Is the full copy legit? Does it still have the dongle? Then yes, I don't see why not. If hes just burning you copies of a pirated version then.... But yeah, as long as it works, I'd make use of it. Cubase is pretty powerful.

No guys it's completely legit unopened.

HAHA, I love it, the free market at work! You know, some very big names use Fruity--after all, it's just a serious of 16-step sequencers at its heart. I say that as sour grapes though because I *ahem* tripped over a copy down by the muddy creek and found that the curve went well past my elementary understanding and that I would need...well, maybe official "support" through the likes of manuals and technical help afforded only to those who didn't have "creek copies" so it suffered baleetion.

Lol, I love the way you express yourself man. To be honest though, I am needing a lot of help myself fella, I don't even know where to begin with this stuff, but getting there with persistance (of memory).

wrong forum dude

I thought this was the Charlie Brown forum?

There are scorpions in the box.

If you watch all the tutorials and read up/learn how to use it then absolutely. It's what I use and it's the best DAW experience ever, but then again I'm biased because i've always liked cubase.

However, it is never going to be as immediate and user friendly as FL studio and to a novice there would be a lot more "what's this, where, how, huh" than "check out my phat loop m8". etc.

DO IT

Lol, yeah this is why I've never thought about using or trying cubase before as I know it's a lot more fiddly to get to grips with but now that I've got this I am definetly gonna hit that shit.

It's not fiddly at all. I think this is a general rule when it comes to DAWS but you really don't have to approach it in the mindset of 'I have to use every feature'. I still ultimately use cubase as a fairly basic multitrack recorder and mixer, with decent audio editing and routing. I know the other stuff is there if I need it.

I use Cubase LE4 as a multitrack recorder and midi sequencer for my hardware. I likes it lots and would love to give v5 a go....

My computer likes to crash every time I open it

What are your system specs and OS? Ram, cpu speed, etc

It does require quite a bit to run smoothly.

Minimun Requirements

* Supported operating systems: Windows XP SP2 (32-bit), Windows Vista* and Windows 7*

* 2 GHz CPU (dual core CPU recommended)

* 1024 MB RAM

* Display resolution 1280 x 800 pixels recommended

* Windows DirectX compatible audio hardware (ASIO compatible audio hardware recommended for low-latency performance)

* DVD-ROM drive with dual-layer support

* 4 GB of free HD space

* USB component port for USB-eLicenser/Steinberg Key (copy protection)

* Internet connection for license activation

That said it will run on less, but you're more likely to have issues.

I actually have all of the above and beyond. Hmmmm

if you have a PC i'd just pirate a version of Cubase 3 or 4 and see how you like it, if you like it then buy 5 (because it's practically identical, in fact there is no major update as far as i can tell that i have used)
