First impressions

Very quick to install!

Less than 1/2 an hour to install activate and register
It picked up my sound card, akai and midi keyboard automaticly
It opens all my old cubase sx3 projects no problems
It even found all the VST instruments I had uninstalled and marked them as missing in my sx3 project files
so far seems stable
Halion one seems cool as does groove agent

more too come over the next few days weeks

(yes I am excited LOL)

yo black

Still on XP Joe

the MPC unit is by far my favorite new addition. The ability to route thru seperate channels/bus outputs is sick. Also I've gotten to play with beat masher a bunch, and have composed some tunes with it already. The vocal/audio warp feature is very powerful..similar to melodyne. Cubase 5 gets a 9/10 from me.

[blackwax]

indeed the groove agent one mpc style drum pads are great especially when used with the recycle style slicing tool mapping the one shots onto the pads, the beat designer is also cool used with it. some nice swing settings there too.
most impressed by the reverence reverb that is wicked!
lots more to try out yet.

Good going Blacky!

I still cant leave CB4 yet because the piggy bank is still low!
:-(

Anyways by the time I get it you whould have learned lots of tricks!

keep me posted.

[blackwax]

yeah mate will do. Im still finding new stuff that i missed in version 4 as I skipped that one LOL

Will have some stuff to play you very soon. I been busy!

Blackwax - how does the groove agent one in C5 compare to using Guru in cubase?

[blackwax]

I prefer it to guru although I was not a big guru user

it has very good swing settings and as mentioned above you gut put each pad out to a seperate channel very handy indeed
Dont think i will ever use guru again now i have this!

[Ashwell]

Sounds good. Thanks

[jah]

[blackwax]

what version are you on at the moment?

I'm having problem with Cubase studio 5. It doesn't find the patches for the halion. I've tried to re-install, copy and pasted the files on to my Mac hard drive, and still no instruments. I even right clicked on the instrument to locate content and still no sounds...:conf44:

try to refresh in the media bay ...

Hey Steve.

This happens to me too. Im still on CB4. I don't know why it happens and it been happening frequently.

I would think that its because of my available free space on my HD. Not sure.

Good luck!

I havent tried that yet but I still want to know why this is happening?
