Apogee Maestro
Novation AutoMap 3

Midi editor especially the drum map editor craps out all the time. Doesn't matter if it's groove agent one, included vsti's synths, ezdrummer etc...

I will move one of the diamonds to a different beat and an artifact from the last location remains, sometimes it will still play the sound, sometimes it will not. Sometimes no sound at all, meaning nothing no matter if it's a kick, snare, note from piano, synth etc...

Reverence reverb is awesome, but it will bring my cpu to it's knee's in no time. At 24/96, forget about it. 24. 44.1 it can work with your session ok.

Media bay is cool, but it is a little glitchy. Sometimes when I collapse the screen it won't come back up. I can see it when I minimize all the window views but I click it and nothing happens. I close Cubase and reopen it and it begins to work again. Seems to happen whenever it feels like it. I have had it do this with only a couple tracks to sessions with many tracks and plugins running.

I had better luck with 4 and even better luck than that with SX3. Reminds me of the early SX days before 3. I would say if you want to use Cubase and not deal with headaches, use SX3.

Give 5 a little more time and I think it will be nice, no huge crashes with mine yet, but not stable yet.
