I have used cubase since vst5. I know it very well, it has worked well on mac and pc with multiple interfaces over the years.

HOWEVER, Cubase 4.5.2 is glitchy and and not that great coming from SX3, which in my opinion and many others on here would agree, SX3 was great.

Cubase 4 is like Vista, problems were not fixed and they started a new platform (cubase5, windows 7) before fixing the current software (Cubase 4)

Many of my studio friends and people I have met on here agree it has clicks and pops when adding new plugins/removing, adding tracks, aux, groups etc...

Doesn't care for certain vsti's, has problems with moving over SX3 sessions with certain vsti's and plugins.

Cubase SX3 is solid, a little dated now, but I put it back on my system and took 4.5.2 off. It's back to being a workhorse, not as good for some things as 4, but it works everytime.

I have 5 coming, so we'll see what happens, there is so many new features though, I'm afraid it might be another disaster, we'll see, fingers crossed.
