"Great work Steinberg!!! Pro-style for low money!!!"

Feature:
Unlimited!!! i have about 100 different plug-ins from numerous different companies and Cubase enables all of them to function efficiently and fast within the program. the VST that come with it do alot of magic cause they are indeed high quality with great panoramic quality. Sequncing is relatively easy and fun since most of the shifting and editing can be done with a few clicks of the mouse and dragging

Quality:
pretty good. no problems with it yet....yet

Value:
its worth 4x its selling price

Desirability:
looks really nice and professional, complicating to the in-experienced but looks like ice cream to the knowledgeable

Sound:
Man this is the best product on the market for the money. Screw Pro-tools or Sonar. If you are an amateur or novice producer, artist, or engineer, this program will make your work sound like it was mastered by the best. I was a nobody rap artist trying to step my game up. ha i was using Nero's Soundraxx as my sequencer. So i bought Cubase SE cause it was cheap and i needed something a lil more professional. Its the best move i could have ever made. I started a record label, get consistant airplay and have become known locally. I recommend this program to anyone with a low budget, but need big quality sound

Ease of Use:
it becomes pretty easy once you play with it for a few days. You learn the basics and all the things you need to get a good sound after a few days. Im still learning features as i go and i have had it for about 4 months. So i guess it would be clockwork for someone who has already used a program similar like Sonar

Support:
This is the only part where the program suffers. With it being an early outdated version, it lacks a few plug-ins and a very very important feature of rendering unlimited mp3s. It limits you to only produce 20 and says that you have to get the mp3-update from steinberg to make more. The problem is that steinberg doesnt make the update anymore so you must find a conversion program if you want mp3s of your works

Overall:
I will eventually upgrade when i can get another $800 dollars to do so or when the price drops drastically. it does get the job done as far as quality. The only think i think Cubase 4 would have on it is that it may have more features and plug-ins
