BUT, after lots of reading the HUGE manual, and after lots of trial and error, I'm finally getting the hang of it... AND, I would never ever go back to adobe at this point. It's so much more powerful in what it can do. And once you get into playing with midi and vsti, there's just no looking back. Not only is it a whole lot of fun, but it's jump started my creativity as well.
To answer your question, I personally have had zero problems with installation, or with the dongle, or with stability, or with anything at all. It's been all smooth sailing here. Of course that doesn't mean you'll have the same experience... I'm just telling you mine.
lomky said:One thing to keep in mind when installing, when prompted for the serial number I entered the one on the box and it didn't work. I was freaking until I found the serial number they are referring to is the one on the CD case. Just wanted you to avoid the panic headache I got.
We are actually -1 Celsius right now!! It is practically shorts weather! On Christmas it's going to be like +6!!! Girls are going to be dancing in the streets in bikinis!

If you hate reading manuals, I suggest you make friends with the Help menu in Cubase. I am still using SX2 and the Help menu is basically the searchable version of the manual. There is nothing that's covered in the manual and isn't covered in Help. I see no reason why this wouldn't also be the case with SX3.kahuna said:Kool! Except for the huge manual bit, I seem to be suffering from manualitis - too many programs to learn already.
