Nuendo is definitely gaining ground in the industry for film scoring and the like. It ain't cheap though (around $2000).

Most of that extra cost is the encoder licences which greatly ups the price. Beyond those, its cubase
 
If you are going to interact with a lot of other studios, maybe that would be a reason to go with Pro Tools. I get at least a dozen projects a year which have either been started in other studios or are going to go to other studios later. The first question I get is, "Do you have Pro Tools". I've never even once been asked, "Do you have Cubase?".

That doesn't mean I'm saying Pro Tools is better than Cubase, especially as I know squat about Cubase. I'm just saying in my particular case having Pro Tools got me more business.
 
protools is the industry standard like a shure 57 is, is it good sure, but is it the best, not really. i have to use protools at school but i use sonar at home. the biggest reason i would see myself using protools is because of compatibility with other studios(although i know sonar shares a save format with protools that normally integrates between the two pretty well). but i find protools, especially le very, limiting and thats why i would use something sonar or in your case cubase. the track limit can especially be a problem when i find myself using alot of mics on just one or two amps at once, after a couple parts are recorded the tracks add up really fast.

what format is this? im using Sonar Home Studio and I always end up having to track my songs to take them to the big studio for the pro tools rig
 
I dont see what the big problem is, just export all tracks as wavs or aifs. Thats been standard practice
for years..
 
omf, im not sure if sonar and sonar home studio are the same but if you can save as omf then you should be able to
 
o yes omf I dont believe home studio supports it and u need to buy a plug in for pro tools for it too also if im correct but OMF is a great tool I thought u meant another type of format kuz omf is on most serious recording programs
