Very good pro level DAW, Documentation needs improvement Feb 27, 2010
By theshowmecanuck Cubase 5 provides a feature rich environment to do just about anything you need to do in audio/MIDI recording on a professional or advanced hobbyist level. It is compatible with just about every type of plugin on the market and comes with a good assortment of quality VST instruments and effects to get you started. It works well on Windows machines (I've used it on XP Pro 32 bit and Windows 7 Pro 64 bit) using ASIO drivers (no latency issues at all). From my discussions with other users, it works as well if not better on Apple based computers too. It is adequate for mastering, but if you are really serious, you may need another tool for that (but not necessarily).
As far as the features etc go, it rates a four or five out of five. However documentation and support only rate maybe a two or even a one. The help system does not even rate that well. However, I believe that a lot of software houses related to the music industry are quite poor in this area as well. Anyway, like I said, my biggest complaint is its poor documentation and non-existent context based help. Or any help system at all. Links to the pdf based manuals does not a help system make, and is quite frankly just plain lame. Everything around this area needs to be improved a great deal.
Cubase does have an extensive user base with a good online community hosted at [...]t. Unfortunately the Steinberg folks let the community provide most of the answers that Steinberg should be providing. Again, this seems to be the (very sad) industry standard. One thing that bothers me is that they insist you have a registered version of Cubase for you to join, search, or post to their web forums. I would prefer that it be open so that people who may use other DAWs can comment or possibly lend insight. It also would let others learn more about recording. I tend to like open communities that can share knowledge, therefore I find this aspect of their 'support' to be mentally challenged (i.e. retarded). Granted I have my license but I do still feel this way.
Steinberg's responsiveness to issues in their code (bugs etc.) seems to be average or a little below based on other software industries. But again, this seems par with music based software. i.e. the other options aren't that much different to worry about.
I would also suggest Steinberg add more examples to their documentation on how to use the features of this overall good application for new users (heck, and even for not so new users... we all miss stuff in an app this complex). As well, I would suggest that Steinberg (or Yamaha... I believe they recently bought Steinberg) also create a ton of video based tutorials on how to use their products and post them to youtube in high def format (right now there are a bunch of well meaning but half assed video tutorials from the user base). That would end a lot of complaints from new users and probably help the company's bottom line as they provide help over the massive learning curve users have to this level of recording tool. They would then sell more of the lower cost versions of this software. Happy users are the best advertising you can get.
In conclusion, Cubase 5 has all the tools you need for recording, and decent tools for mastering/mixing/etc. It lacks good directions on how to use them. I'm giving it a four out of five, but if I could give it a 3.5 I would. I'm tempted to give it a 3 based on the very poor documentation, but the tool itself is good, so I am giving it the benefit of the doubt. But it is a close call. :)

Fantastic piece of software Jun 06, 2010
By Dave@amazon This is the most capable DAW on the market, and I have extensively tried Ableton, Sonar and many others. Very stable in x64, excellent sounding and great workflow, I recommend this to all users who consider to go "professional"

Cubase5 Nov 17, 2009
By B. R. Lewis Great product with some fantastic plugins and thankfully it works very similar to SX3 no great learning curve there...
However, Installing and getting it operational was a nightmare (installed on WinXP(64) the LCC software protection was shocking to install and kept crashing.
And I searched for DAYS on online forums to find info on the various errors that came up when it failed to install.
BIG RECOMMENDATION FOLKS... find ALL the necessary windows updates FIRST!!!
Esp the windows media updates.
Search the web by typing in the error code and DON'T GIVE UP.
Cubase5 is a great program and even better on a 64bit OS because of the extended memory use (in our case 8Gb)
There is No mastering suite in Cubase5... I'm still researching that.
the Steinberg Forums worked but were equally as frustrating to use because they kept on rejecting my logins..
NOT GOOD FOR A NEW CUSTOMER!!!!!!!
IT ALL SOUNDS A BIT NEGATIVE DOESN'T IT?
But to be fair (on US, the customer) I don't think it should take days of installing and re-installing (OS as well) to have an operational program..
it works fine as a box of new kittens now.. Was it worth it??? Hmmmmmmmmm

The benchmark for DAW software. Dec 23, 2009
By David With so many DAW options out there, everybody will find a different one that suits their needs. Some do things better than others, while doing other things worse -- but Cubase 5 excels at everything.
Whether you are an artist just tracking vocals, mixing, creating music, mastering work... Cubase 5 does it all. Think Pro Tools on Red Bull
Great Product Aug 11, 2011
By YesYouShould Amazing DAW. Easier to navigate and look at than Pro Tools, but still probably a step down from the Logic series in terms of "user-friendliness".
