They aren't on the same level. Nobody offers a better package of recording audio and midi together than Steinberg. That's just a fact of life. If you want it in one program you're using Cubase. Otherwise, you're going to be stuck with tracking out midi in 1 program, saving waves and tracking those out in another program where you apply production effects... Then saving that mix into an interleaved wave and recording your vocals in another program. One major benefit to this approach is that you don't have all your eggs in one basket. So if you run into a brickwall bugwise, you should be able to scale it with minimum difficulty. But then again, Cubase VST32 has been around for years and is tried and true. Both VST32 & SX are confusing at first, but once you get past the learning curve, you'll be much happier... atleast I am. And from my past work in the computer field, I don't get too happy with software as I'm always the one to find bugs that I have to work around. I found many in SX. But I've developed a routine that lets my life co-exist with SX and still keep a smile on my face at the end of the day. So you know my opinion Big Kaze. Go crack some software and start testing it out. If you like it, buy it. (gotta encourage someone to buy some piece of software)
