I also use C5 with V-Drums into SD 2 and the timming is great on C5 as 32 samples - amazing!

I built a new DAW to run it:

Intel Q9550 4GB RAM on DP35DP.

I can run 340 instances of Stereo Sonnox EQ and filters before I get overloads (1024 buffer) amazing performance. (only a test naturally LOL)

I actually use a F/W Powercore 6000 and PoCo Express PCI card, 2x UAD-1 all loaded to 90% and I get almost zero CPU hit, so I am finding C5 to be great at running DSP.

The work flow for mixing and tracking is wonderful and the GUI is just up my street - like Logic Plat 5.5 used to be before Apple f**ked up the GUI in 8.

(I still use LP8 on an iMac for sketching out ideas but C5 is my main mix rig)

For the very first time I have stopped longing to get PT HD - than you Steinberg.

For what it's worth it does feel like a "coded for PC" program - I've tried C5 on my iMac and it just didn't feel as at home as the PC. Funny can't really say why - just less crisp and responsive?

Hell yeah Cubase 5 is rock solid. In fact it hasn't crashed yet. And I got it as soon as it was released.

Buy quality PC components and you cant go wrong.....
