Yep, Cubase is great, and as I have been a user for around the 10 year mark, I can tell you it's really good for the things it does well, but.....
I have made the switch to Live and I won't be heading back to Cubase any time soon (except for mixing and mastering). Live is just so much damn fun to get tracks happening - specially once you have the APC - and it's so hands on it's insane!

I have never heard of anyone doing this for drums - talk about taking the 'music' out of 'making music', but each to their own though I guess. What genre are people doing this for?
I just can't imagine anyone stepping through whole drum patterns these days really.
