I've been using the Cubase LE that came with my recently acquired Lexicon Omega interface.
I figured alot of stuff out already, but a few questions have come up here & there.
Any of you other guys using the Steinberg software?

I use Steinberg's Nuendo so I don't know the details of Cubase LE, but the basic architecture is pretty similar.
You can email me at steinar.gregertsen AT losmail.no if you like.

It works for me.
I think all of the above does too.
It's a matter of cost and what people around you uses.
I chose cubase mostly because we use it at my job and to be compatible with people i work with.

I just played on an album entirely recorded on Cubase LE. Seems to do the job just fine.

In my opinion it's user friendly.
Cubase (and most Steinberg software) is compatible with windows and most every hardware. There is a mac version as well.
Pro Tools on PC only runs with M-audio soundcards.
Logic is Mac only
The new version of Cubase "lite" is called "Steinberg Studio 4"
They've finally got rid of all those confusing "LE" "SE" etc
I think the older ones is still available

excellent. if memory serves me, a ProSonus comes loaded with Cubase. I am leaning towards that.

Seems like alot of the hardware out there these days is bundled with Cubase LE. I've been using it now for only a couple weeks and so far so good. I previsouly only used stand alone recorders.
It takes a little time to figure things out, but all in all not too bad.

Yes on both accounts. The important thing when getting into software recording - regardless of the software you choose - is to not get intimidated by all the possibilities. Basically it can be used just as any multitrack tape recorder (with an integrated mixer in this case) - all the editing possibilities are very handy but you don't need to learn all at once, build your knowledge step by step.
Start out thinking of it as a "virtual tape recorder with mixer", then learn the rest at your own pace...

you are so right. besides that, learning the new terminlogy is challenging enough. my setup should be simple to start. then I can expand.
the tape recorder analogy is perfect.
um, I wonder if I am hijacking this thread. think I will post my journey to set up with a new topic.

Well said Steinar.
May i suggest that you all go back and read his post one more time!
That's the most sensible i've heard in a long time.
The wall of features so often gets in the way of the music.

Johnny,
Yeah....been there, done that. The Cubase forum is also pretty decent. I just figured I'd see who's using it over here as well.
I basically started out just the way Steinar said. Get the basic functions down and build from there to the fancy stuff.

Im also a cubase-er (vst 32). I still remind myself how 20 yrs ago (on teac 80-Cool i daydreamed of how nice it would be to have 'just a couple more tracks' a nicer mixer and more effects. Now we have 128 ch mixers - for every song. Not to mention no tape noise, generation quality loss, or frustrating rewind time. Virtually 10 times the studio of even the hottest pro studios back then. Not to mention 'pressing' your own records at home. Dont wake me up !
