Is Cubase the most frustrating DAW ever created? – Page 3 – Hosts & Applications (Sequencers, DAWs, Audio Editors, etc.) Forum

I’ve used Cubase for 20+ years. It’s a very deep DAW and can things many DAW’s cannot do. Especially when it comes to midi and audio editing. However, the learning curve isn’t easy and often not as straightforward as I would like. For new users, I’d reference all the Steinberg Cubase tutorial videos. They are quite helpful. I experience crashes at least once a week, but I love to use my effects so the problem may be as much my problem as Cubase’s. That said, I’ve also used Cakewalk, Ableton Live, and Luna. I like the way Luna sounds but it is also frustrating to use and not very deep in it’s capabilities, but their sound is a bit more upfront without any effects in play. I’d give Studio One a try but I have so much invested in Cubase I don’t think that is going to happen. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best…..I give Cubase a strong 7.5.
