I have used Cubase for many many years since the late 90s probably. It is easy to use, sounds great right out of the box, and is set up to inspire creativity.

Overall, i would never buy any software but Cubase. It integrates with all of the major 3rd party plugins and gives a wide variety of options to best record and produce your music.

The vocal processing  is what I love most, it has good vocal processing.

By using cubase as a freelance artist, I was able to produce my music myself and save time and money.

Best software to mix and master vocals. I choose Cubase over any other music production software any day any time.

Cubase can be difficult for someone who has not done audio editing previously; will be a learning curve.

The mixing and mastering template is so much better and easier to understand for an upcoming producer.

Happy to use the Steinberg software. You will be able to tell it is designed for the professional user and will help give you professional results.

I like that the user interface is simple and easy to use and remember, you will easily know where all the options are. It is also compatible with many of the plugins available on the market.

Can get real slow on startup (maybe my mac is getting old also). Not ideal for performing live music.

The multi-band parametric eq is surgical precise with great visual feedback of the signal.

Best quality sound for recording voices and instruments, you to eq the sound to what you really want.

Some VSTs have not worked correctly for me and sometimes if the devices are not connected from the beginning they may fail to detect them.

Definitely positive, really good learning curve, and in the bottom line it really helps me make music.

Cubase is a solid and reliable sequencer. The audio engine excellent and so responsive I frequently edit clips while I'm actually recording.

Great MIDI editor, easy to install plugins, lots of really good guides, both the manual and online tutorials, sn a lot of really useful stock plugins.

The built in synthesis is good, the generic plugins are great (Reverb and compression in particular).

Above it all, the compressor is integrated into the DAW’s interface, making it easy to access and adjust settings without having to switch to a separate plugin or software.

I used Cubase LE for several years on my PC. I was happy with it until I learned about other options that were available at affordable prices.

I've discovered that it is difficult to learn the shortcuts. There is no trial version available.

It's a great software that I used and completed a good number of songs on it.

I feel that this program is very versatile for anyone who wants to record with good quality, it is not very expensive and it makes it easy for you to include plugins from the same brand.

There are too many features that I do not need and these pollutes the menus and interface in general.

For programming music it's not very ideal software to use unless you need a particular sound from Cubase.

I had trouble setting up my audio interface and getting drivers for low latency, but with watching a youtube video and a few little tweaks, all was fixed.

Cubase is worth buying for all recording studios. Its quality output is outstanding.

It might be confusing for new users as it has different layout than typical music production softwares.

I am happy to be an fl studio user. Last I recommend this for professional work everyone.

I make instrumentals and record vocals for my customers utilizing this specific programming and I am truly flabbergasted by the nature of the outcomes. It is wonderful programming.

Fl Studio is overall a powerful and amazing software packed with a lot of features and tools.

When a creative mind finds a proper means to manifest its vision, wonders happen. That is exactly what Fruity Loops aims to accomplish.

My overall experience with FL Studio has been really positive and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to get into music production.

Sometimes there were bugs and lags, and it can take forever to scan every single VST.

With a powerful enough computer, there are almost no bugs and the very active community behind the software allows us to solve almost any problem without going through the customer support.

Windows quite often seem to disappear rather than stay in the background when working in a different window (inside of FL) and it can be a faff to get them back up.

At first it is hard to understand everything, you have to go deep in youtube tutorials to understand how it works properly.

Definitely one of the best editors for music in general.

I can't really say anything bad about FL Studio, but you figure out something new each time you launch the program.

Fl Studio gives me a wide range of samples and tones to choose from which enables me produce solid and awesome beats easily and efficiently.

The price point is inexpensive and can be helpful to anybody to get into music creation. Learning curve is very easy and straightforward.

Awesome Music Production product with advanced functionalities and simple, easy to use interface.

Overall is a great tool for beat making and music production and the user interface is so intuitive. The lifetime free updates makes the price feel like a bargain IMO.

FL Studio has an easy navigation, and well done performance. I do recommend this to others that you can easily make music with this software.

It is also very easy to understand. You don't have to be a pro to compose a perfect melody.

The thing I like the most about FL studio is the interface and the ease of music production on FL studio. There is a large library of inbuilt samples and plugins which are very helpful.

It is an inexpensive, easy to learn and quality software to produce your music.

Very good and would definitely recommend to anybody starting out using their first DAW. It's priced keenly and there are plenty of free add-ons available online.

It was hard for me to understand how to operate the side chaining  work flow on the mixer too but as you use it you get to understand how it work.

Ceux qui l'ont créer doivent faciliter le paramétrage ou le rendre encore plus accessible à tout utilisateur de fl studio.

This Software is excellent, very easy to use, for professional and amateur use.

The best features have got to be the ease of use when it comes to creating a melody or beat.

It helped me in creating shows and mastering vocals, It a good software that is useful in so many ways and different works.

The stock plugins are really great for electronic music. The piano roll is great and it allows the composers to control a lot of things.

Overall the Experience with FL Studio were the best and it will be the best forever.

The benefits of FL Studio is amazing, and it is very user friendly.

FL Studio is easily integrated with other software and you can also use a mobile version that is available in popular app stores.

I use this software from years and i can tell that this is the best.

The overall functionality and integration is impressive to say the least.

Unlike other softwares, you can add multiple patterns in the screen like you want. It's easyer to make a song.

I have used some audio editing software and fl studio is one of the best performings software. Fl studio customer support is very good.

One of the major thing i love about this software is the quality of the stock plugins. Without third party vst plugins, u can still a make  a well mix and mastered beat.

Not many DAWs can offer a good balance between those 2 features. It also encourages you to explore further, nothing feels shut off in the program.
