    I found a brochure dated mid 2000 today, announcing the release of
    Cubase 5, which came before SX1. Strange how the past catches up with
    the present sometimes...

    This has always been a mystery to me...
    Is that because what we call "cubase 5" was actually officially named
    "cubase VST 5"?

    Another thing that bothered me at the time is that I never knew why
    there never was a cubase5 for Mac. If I'm not mistaken, the last version
    number before SX , in the mac edition, was 4.

    Well, that's one of my mistery solved :)

    At the time, I worked in a production studio and they had the Mac
    version of Cubase VST 4.xx.
    While at home , I had a version 5 for PC.

    As I never would have beleieved that a pro studio could be less up to
    date than me, I always assumed that there never was a version 5 for max.

    In some ways VST5.1 was better but 4.xx as I remember, was super
    stable. I was really upset when they upgraded and things started going
    south. They came out with 5.1 and fixed it all but about a few months
    after 5.0 came out they came out with SX. I was so tweaked at that
    that I waited until SX3 came out before I bought from them again...
    and then that sucked too.

    I have cubase 5 now and I'm actually really liking it. I think it is
    the first time sense VST4 that I have liked the program. There is
    nothing more vometous then a crashing program. I'm old school 2" 24 of
    16 track style and the idea that something can crash will never sit
    well with me.

    I really wish they would strip a version down to have everything like
    it was when I was using the old machines. Make me a really nice SSl
    board with all the fixins and when I drag my mouse over the part of
    the board I want it expands automatically like one of those magnifying
    glass things and just let me do everything from one panel. Give me one
    rack of stuff and let me drag and drop the patch cables..... make it
    like the real stuff and I would be thrilled. I have never used a midi
    editor or any other editor really and things come out just fine with
    out it. At lest I think so. I haven't had any real exposure to the
    outside world since my day back in the 80's :)

    Open for interpretation . You can hear some of my none edited tracks
    at myspace.com/pianomandanny and I don't get my feelings hurt.

    Is it just me or did they just do some minor visual tweaks on the menus
    and toolbars lately on Cubase 5.5. I seem to recall the buttons and
    toolbars having a much more professional, shaded or bevelled look to
    them. Now they almost look like black & white images from the 90's.
