 SX2 just had an update released, check Cubase.net for the reaction. Sometimes you have to pay to get peace of mind. One of the biggest gripes I had with Steinberg was the constant changing of the audio engine. Cubase4 couldnot load cubase3 sessions, cubase5 couldn't load cubase4 sessions, SX1 couldn't load cubase5 sessions. SX2 added Nuendo's audio engine... guess what. In all cases you could bring in your audio regions, but all automation, panning and effects settings did not transfer. So to use previous sessions on the new products required a remix. Their competition doesn't have that business practice, new versions of logic, DP, and Pro Tools cna load previous sessions with all mix settings. As I got more clients the time/money was not available to remix projects I had already been paid for. So i had to make a business decision to move on. May not be a BIG issue if you are only doing personal recording.

If your a proficient performer (keyboadist) you really don't need the power DP, or any audio sequencer gives for MIDI editing... but if your like me (I can't play a piano to save my life) a singer songwriter, then the editing capabilities of an audio sequencer should be a must have for your compositions. But really.. it just depends on what you feel comforable with, and how you work. All these products will achieve a result it just depends on if the result is easily attained and assimilated by your ways of working on a composition.

May not be a BIG issue if you are only doing personal recording. If you archive a session its a HUGE deal because out of the thousand or so parameters in an app you will NEVER be able to emulate the same mix... What's the use of DAW technology if you don't have total recall of your final production master? DP has the greatist bang for the buck in the industry... if I had a commercial facility I would only use DP since it's backwards compatible with Pro Tools. The other "ones" don't! -------------------- Take Care,
