has anyone got a sneak peak at the MAGIX Analogue Modelling Suite--if so how does it sound?
I think Ben has and said it was great.

I think its really the other way around--you guys dont have nuendo--so you cant see why its better. Just a guess--either way I respect your opinion--and if it works for all your needs thats great
Indeed, in my case it is true. Have been screwed with Steinberg crap for two years or so. According to Germanys biggest store I was the first person who magaged to get his money back from that company although their entire product line was complete crash junk. They also confirmed that day to me that Cubase had never really been running stable to that day. Unfortunately, they hadn´t told me so before when I bought two of Steinjerks programs.

Anyway, I am definitly biased against that brand which made its outcome by selling dysfunctional crap.

why dont you look at the sales--they are 1000 to 1.
Because sales mustn´t say a thing. Steinberg had biggest selling numbers in the native market already when they still were what I would think the most unstable POS in the audio software shelf. Steinberg stuff sells because every three year old knows of its existance. It´s because of publicity not quality.

Everybody knows Armani suits, but the best classical suits in the world are being hand stiched by a dozen old men who each makes only one certain component of the unit.
Nobody knows Kiton and they certainly don´t have the biggest selling numbers, but their product is the best out there.

Toyota was most reliable a while before that became publicly known and appreciated. blabla

but its midi is a joke and its vst instrument is not up to par
True. Until version 7.2 it even was unusable.
I must admit that I mainly think in audio terms though when considering hosts.

Quote:
it would actually take Steinberg to stop updating Nuendo for Samp to catch up
What Cubase and its followers had also long since is certainly the most features coming with it. However, that kind of value isn´t really interesting to me as long as you can most of all never feel safe with your host program.

Some say Cubase, SX, Nuendo were more reliable these days, but a burned guy like me would not be liking to take that risk again, not for a heap of additional features.

Have I said already that I´m biased?
