Yeah cubase is really popular but i always heard that digital performer is better , not sure why tho.
I'm liking cubase too , i bought the cubase xtc pack witch is cubase sx with the tc native bundle 3 for 700 euro's and was super glad when they told me it came with a free upgrade to sx 3.
I have used cubase , Logic , cakewalk and protools (not very long but i used it) and i sticked with cubase .
Yeah hollowcell , i'm going to try something similar too , make a starting loop on my mpc and when it starts to take shape i'll sync it up to cubase and start to add the synths and do the sequencing. I am gunna try that out , still looking for my method of working (see previous post
http://www.sunesha.nu/virusforum/vie...ghlight=#35523 ) and this seems pretty promising.
With this method i can render my synth or mpc to audio in cubase super-fast and add some vst effects and stuff withc i usually did in the mixing stage because it was too mutch work and disturbed my creative flow.
