- Been using this since I started getting serious about music production in 2005 (Cubase SX3 at the time!)
- Was my first big boy DAW
- I run Cubase (along with all my other audio software) on a dedicated PC.
- I still use it largely out of familiarity. There have been no meaningful updates since Cubase 5. In many ways I regret moving from Cubase 6.5 to 10.
- Super stagnate piece of software stuck in the 90s, though I’m not really sure if there is a clear front runner replacement. I have no interest swapping over the the mac side of things here, and the open source community has never really put out a serious contender in the DAW space.
- Protools super sucks, btw.
