Zinc - you need it. You can take a simple drum and synth loop and apply all kind of weirdness to it. I can spend HOURS playing around with this.

Yeah - me too. Its a common complaint of Cubase Windows users - from what I've read, it's due to the common codebase they use for the Windows and Mac platforms. The UI does take some getting used to.

Run the XLN Installer. Just the Addictive Keys seems to have an update.

I went to Cubase after Sonar died. I haven't regretted it (even though Cakewalk is alive and well). Midi and support for external devices in Cubase is unmatched. Expression maps and per note expression are highlights.

Great prices on Cubase. Wish they would have discounted their updates as well.

Thanks guys. I think I'll pass on it then.

That was the best part of the game - ship to ship fighting.

Thanks Abacab. I've only played AC Black Flag, which I thought was good. Couldn't get into AC III, so looking forward to this.

Anyone have this?

Quote Shakespeare to them Lars...

Wait... you guys can afford to drive?

We're lucky to have him.

Yeah, same here. I think Waves attempts to make up the money on the WUP. I know this - I got three Waves plugs today for the grand total of $25.88

Thanks Lars! Love freebies...

Finished out my H Series

Just looking to upgrade my 305s

Lars, they had a similar sale during Black Friday. Do you happen to recall what the price was then?

Looks like I found my new Plex server...

Will the real cclarry please stand up, please stand up, please stand up....

I've clearly hit a nerve, just relax Tezza. 😀 You have a grudge against Cubase, and don't like it. That is OK with me, it doesn't bother me in the least. People love or hate DAWs, it is really an interesting psychological phenomenon. I happen to love Cubase, and have had zero issues with it - on either version 9 or 10. That shouldn't bother you either. I chose Cubase when Sonar went under because of its world class Midi implementation. I researched and demoed many DAWs, during that time, and the choice was clear to me. In the space that I'm working towards (orchestration), Cubase is by far the number 1 DAW (and its not even close). My anecdotal experience in those spaces (Cubase groups, VI-Control) show that the majority have moved to Cubase 10 and don't have issues. One of the best things I've found about Cubase is the sheer amount of quality documentation and online videos about the product. Want to know how to do something? Someone has a great video on YouTube on it - using a current version. Very helpful to someone like me. That was always a struggle with Sonar - the old Sonar forum was great for some help, but the number of Sonar users seemed to be much smaller than Cubase and other DAWs, and the amount of online videos showed that. I'm on the Cakewalk (actually just the deals) forum because of folks like @cclarry, @Fleer, and @abacab. Larry does a great service to the community by posting deals - I love plugins, reading about them, playing with them (and sadly too often purchasing them). Folks like Fleer and Abacab are great community members who are very helpful. That's why I'm here.

My father in law actually does that....

I agree with extreme minority. Since Cubase is one of the most popular DAWs on the planet, the sheer number of users with problems will be greater than those of lesser used DAWs. My experience with Cubase has been amazing. The last time I build my DAW, I didn't even put Sonar/Cakewalk back on it. I even actually had a good experience with Steinberg support the one time I used actually used it. Remember two years ago with Cakewalk wouldn't even respond to support emails. I have no idea what it is like anymore.

Alright @Fleer, I know you're a 'verb guy. What are your top 3 reverbs on the market right now?
