Well, as many discovered, some times later in life (alas too late?); Cubase is one of the best allrounders around. Recording, editing, mastering, a fabulous and very flexible (with v 9.5 PRO and improved in v 10 PRO) audio and pitch shifting tool better than i saw from Waves or Melodyne.

All sorts of built in extras like for sounds and drum grooving, audio grooving, groove analyzing tools, superb notation, video import, quite a few excellent plugins for audio editing and some synths, not to forget Halion 3 with it's very decent GM set onboard ....

Has got a learning curve, but like PGmusic a very active user helpers forum ....

----------------------------------

PS, i still have my spare license for the full retail 10 PRO version for sale, $435, with eLicenser; insured USA shipping of latter is 26 dollars extra. PM me if interested? ....

Also for sale a license for 9.5.40 PRO full Retail. They say Cubase 9.5 is as good as bug free; never crashed on m system. 355$

NOTE they're both Retail and NOT the usually advertised EDUcational versions as from cheap sellers.

Reminder: Cubase 10 and 9.5 are 64bit ONLY. Steinberg has a 30 days TRIAL download version available. You'll need to register definitely with the eLicenser before that period ends. F
