hihi

You know, I've watch some tutorial videos on Cubase and it seems pretty powerful. Does it do pretty much the same thing that you can do with FL Studios, or is it better for other types of sound/music work?

Cubase is like a halfway house so is better suited to live tracking than FL but if you never intend to record or edit multitrack audio then I see little point in using anything other than FL Studio. I'd compare Cubase to Logic but Cubase is more stable and not as irritating to use. Both Cubase and Logic have very nice plugins in the package - of a higher quality than FL Studio's and more job oriented; such as actually having a de-esser, rather than having to construct one with side-chain EQ, as within FL Studio.

If you're working mostly with MIDI, however, FL Studio is king and I still do my arranging and mixing in FL after editing with ProTools.

I bought Cubase 6.5 Artist a week or so ago. As I started out making music with KCS on the Amiga I like the the workflow of more 'traditional' sequencing. For me it's easier to keep everything tidy. And the stuff included is great. Padshop (which you can upgrade to pro for 10 euros) and Retrologue are great synths. Retrologue is a subtractive synth and Padshop a granular with the greatest pads I ever heard.

Today sequencers are almost identical in features. The difference is how you get stuff done.
