Well, there are always people there, complaining about stuff like that. Keep in mind, that people that post there, are usually having problems. When you don't have problems, well, most people don't care to share.
I have absolutely no issues at all now.
vmx files are a way to store mixer settings. You can save a whole session, or a single channels inserts, eq and such. Comes in real handy when recording a whole project, and want to use the same setup for another track, for a different song or session. Many of us depend on it. The first update, which was more of a beta test thing (Steinberg calls then 'unsupported updates'), had some serious issues. The thing is, if you use Cubase in a professional setting, you already know better than to update your software in the middle of a project. Those who don't realize how stupid this is to try, are the same ones bitching about Cubase, and likely do not have their systems working correctly anyway. I seriously get the feeling, every time I hear someone complaining about their systems not working right with Cubase, that they are using things they probably have no right using in the first place. It just does not make sense that I have never had any issues, aside from little glitches, and so many seem to never get the software to work. There has to be something going on there....
I just had a guy on the Steiny forum, say that I don't know anything, because it is an upgrade issue. That unless I upgraded from each version, that I would not have the problem. Guess what? I have upgraded since LE4, and never had an issue. Take what people there say as 'their' issues, and don't think it as truth.
Just the other day, there was a guy complaining about CPU spikes, and blaming Cubase for the problem. It was a wireless mouse driver, from a previous wireless one, he no longer used, that caused the problem. I had similar with a KVM switch that suddenly went bad. $400 later, I figured out the problem. I could have gone whining on their forum about how crappy Cubase was, but I know better than that. Most do not, and blame the easiest thing to blame it on.
Ok, I'm done.
