Feature:
More effects in the package would be nice. The compressor rocks, reverb and delay are so so i say. Haven't used all effects yet (Cruncher, ect.).

Quality:
I've used Sonar, ProTools, Cool Edit, N'tracks Studio, ect. This is just as good as any. 24 bit recording for under $100,..... come on!!

Value:
Can't beat it for real. No N-tracks or Cakewalk product can compare for real VST's, Rewire (reason), Its worth $200 at least. This and a Audiophile 2496(99.00), and a Behringer mixer and you got a 48 track Studio for around 250.00.

Desirability:
Interface not as sexy as SX or SL but still pretty good.

Sound:
Same as any, you only get garbage out if you put garbage in. Dig?

Support:
never needed them so i don't know. But they have been conntacting me (specials, offers) so that's a plus.

Overall:
Does everything you basically need it to do. 48 audio tracks unlimitec midi no crashes in 6 months.

Feature:
Limited to 48 audio tracks...its more than enough for me personally but it is nice to just have the option of as many tracks as you want. You can't really expect everything in a package for under $100 though.

Quality:
Excellent. Everything was just as it should be.

Value:
I think this is a great deal for anyone who wants a recording software to make high quality recordings but is on a budget. Definitely worth the money. I purchased it at the student discount so it was an even better price.

Desirability:
I wouldnt mind having either of the higher priced Cubase programs but this product suits me just fine.

Sound:
The sound quality is really good but it also depends on your equipment(soundcard, mic,etc.)

Support:
Terrible...thats all I have to say on that.

Overall:
I have used Cubase SX and Cubase SX 2 and this product has many of the same features as the higher priced Cubase Programs. Great Value.

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

Feature:
Simple to use and best if it comes with hardware features like controller and faders,.

Quality:
Sound dynamics seem superb with no hiss, clicks and pops.

Value:
Value for a good price.

Sound:
Close to ADAT machine sound quality, indeed even better.

Ease of Use:
Easy to learn in days and hours.

Support:
On the web and not really much tangible support from dealers.

Overall:
In short, it's Professional standard of recording for studio works.

Sound:
It is easy to use but lacks in certain areas as far as audio. By far easier to use than Cakewalk Home Studio. Would love to upgrade to SX for more features.

Feature:
the features are geat.really easy to use.you have everything you need right in front of you to sound proffesional.good varioty affects on this

Quality:
good quality.i got 2 of them for just incase you know wata i mean.

Value:
at this amayzing price you cant beat that.

Desirability:
very sexy.cant live with out it.if i could i would marry this one

Sound:
the sound is very clean.it all depends on the gear your working with.and what you know?

Ease of Use:
really easy to use. ive bin working with cubase for 2and half years naw.got plenty of work done with this.didnot use the manual much.but the manul booklet is preety big.plenty of information in there.

Support:
never delt with support issues.

Overall:
cubase will be with me for many years.if i was to replace it i would still use it hear in there.but it would be replaced with a more upgraded cubase.these programs are basically all the same.its all about how much time you put in to it.how good you adapt to it.i chose cubase because most producers use protools.every one goes left i go right.like i said these programs are all the same its wat you know.i got 2 of them so if they steal mine got the back up.wat i like the most is how easy it is to create music and the voriaty of affects.no regrets.

Overall:
Does not work on anything above Mac OS 10.3.9. Steinberg say the installer will not work on 10.4 or 10.4.1. Users have been waiting for an upgraded installer for some time now, without word from Steinberg. If you want to use Cubase SE on a modern Mac, for the time being, don't buy this product.
