It never stopped other topics, so...
Not that I think such topics are exactly helpful. It really depends on yourself whether or not you gel with the one or the other DAW.

I bought (and sold) the full version of Cubase twice since it was version 6.5, last full version I had was 12. I never paid a huge amount for it, even for upgrades, there's always some sale on or some deal going somewhere including here on KVR. Not to mention the other cheaper versions like Cubase Artist and Elements. The latter which I've recently bought to try out after a few years of using FL Studio. Honestly I'm pleasantly surprised how full featured Elements 13 is, overall I would say it's a better program than the old flagship Cubase 5.
I miss variaudio though, but those are included with Artist. Upgrade would cost me around $150 right now but will probably go for cheaper next black friday sales.

Reaktor can be added a midi FX in Logic and that can send midi to an instrument. So yes.
Studio One // Bitwig // Logic Pro // Ableton // Reason // FLStudio // MPC // Force // Maschine

Have used both a lot, would take Cubase over Logic but Live over both in the end.
Most bugs ever: Logic 9, in automation, with plugins. It was horrible some days, ok some days. Also the channel eq warped which was the main reason why our logic tunes sounded odd vs. Live tunes. Changed it to Pro-Q and sounded much better (actually redid and compared with one tune, changed only the channel eq to pro-q and it was much much better)
Also the AU plugins seemed to be much worse behaving than VSTs on both Logic and Live back then.

Cubase Elements 13 doesn't even support Audio Comping. It also doesn't support Audio Warp Quantize, Audio Alignment and Lacks VariAudio 3 while simultaneously lacking ARA2 Support.lotus2035 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 4:39 pmI bought (and sold) the full version of Cubase twice since it was version 6.5, last full version I had was 12.

It's actually really hard to live within its feature set if you record audio.
I think Production is fine as long as you don't have to Render in-place or need things like Tempo Detection or MPE/Note Expression Support. They at least added Sidechaining (v11, IIRC) for the EDM newbies
They probably should have kept Beat Designer in as a stock MIDI FX, along with a basic Arpache (though you could just record in your ARPs using a MIDI Controller's FW Arpeggiator - most have that, these days).

If someone has a Mac, I think Logic Pro is a better value than Cubase Artist/Pro. I don't think Cubase Elements is worth wasting money on.
I think Studio One Artist is a better pickup than Cubase Elements at that tier, as well.
It drops the track limitations and adds ARA2, Comping, Step Sequencer (Pattern Editor), Track Freezing, Transient Detection, Groove Extraction, Event FX, Sound Variations, MPE Support, Audio Warp, Studio One Remote App and all their stock virtual instruments.
I could see someone living in Studio One Artist. Cubase Elements is very dubious because the way features are distribute across their product SKUs create odd disparities in the entry SKU.
If I said you are blocked, I won't see your posts. Please kindly refrain from quoting or replying to me.
"Notifications for Nothing" are annoying. Blocking me in return is a good way to avoid this.

Feature limitations are an issue with the lower tier Cubase versions. E.g., they also only implemented the new routing options in Cubase 13 in the Pro version. For whatever unfathomable reason.
