absolutely. I use a combination of hardware and software/vstis and create midi loops (and trigger them) quite often.

Hey Khazul,

Are you sure that you cant slave cubase to external hardware? Im pretty sure you can set it to clock externally...

As for Ableton Live, I've checked it out a couple times and found it to be completely non-intuitive. The GUI is shitty, and it seems that it's main strength is for use in "Live" situations, using loops etc.

It's Cubase for composition for me, Pro Tools for mixdown...

I think the two will compliment each other for me. I've just spent ages watching and reading tutorials, looks like this is what I need to use for my needs, I agree that the GUI looks complicated but since I haven't managed to grasp the whole cubase thing over the years and seem to have wasted money I think I have to give it a try, will start with the demo and see how I get on for a tune I have tried to do for years, if that comes out ok then I'll buy it.

Cheers for this finally I may have a good work flow.
Kris

Happy New Year

Jas - yeh - Cubase 4 will only sync to MTC/SMPTE - midi beat clock (ie what most synths and drum machines can output) is no good...

I think SX3 used to sync to a beat clock.
