There's a lot of built in busing and routing where you can send tracks out from Cubase and mix them using the N12 or N8 too. There's a lot of flexibility here and you don't see it all at first.

When the mix is done you can burn it to CD, rip an MP3 or whatever. I use the Izotope mastering plugs in Sound Forge 9 but that's just what works for me. I don't think you can burn a CD from Cubase but then I haven't even looked at that because I use CD Architect for that.

Hope to see you climb aboard! You will be amazed with the N series.

One last thing, if you get a new computer make sure your Firewire card is compatible.
I doubt my old 450mhz 256ram would cut it, besides I'm way overdue for a new one. My current system is great for internet and email, etc, so I'll keep it around for that.

Is it possible to find out what the firewire is in a production computer before you buy it? If the built-in one doesn't work can it be changed or can a seperate plug-in type card be purchased that will work?
