Hi unifine
I used to use cubase before time..
Unfortunately,Cubase is very eat resource..
It always eat me 10 % when it open..X p
Other thing don't talk in here la..
Than you add some sample and add some effect...
Your pc will be decrease the performance very soon..
Even you have $$ to buy 1GB cpu
but it's not enough..
If you don't want to delay...
You better get a ASIO compatibility soundcard--> more $$$ than IGB cpu...
No ASIO card run Cubase's audio very不爽...
It is my opinion...
Cakewalk is very FREE compare with cubase..
It just need a very low level pc cpu
My experience is :) with Cakewalk..
Low resource usage - if no effect added.10 channle Dxi is still very free.
No doubt..Cakewalk is suitable for no $$ no good pc user to use.
I love cakewalk if Cubase no Halion..^ ^
