In the posibility number two, you´ll have to decide, take your Scope to rubbish and use pretty VSTs, or keep using Scope on a old system like XP. It will just an individual decision.
I think Cubase SX3, XP, and Scope4 will be old, but sure much more a mucisian need, or in my case, more that I need.
I think there is a underground issue here, IMO, when the musician has much inside, will take out much even from one only one instrument.
When there is not much inside, we need to get entertaiment anywhere, like in new features of last version of a sequencer, new drivers for Vista etc.
With STS only, you have a inlimited fount of sounds, as many as you load into it,
there are lots of synths to can build sounds, sounds and sounds,
and we have effects to add sugar to it,
and have sequencer to record tracks and tracks and tracks, of sounds sounds and sounds, instruments and instruments, from pianos, to congas, Sax, etc etc etc.
Just perhaps the problem is inside us, and in this case I don´t agree with some opinions here. Even on 2015, there is a Cubase SX8, I will be doing the same, play and record, the thing before was done with a tape recorder, what can be done with first cubase version avaible.
Seems, as more posibilities we have, more we need, or more bugs we find, maybe the bug I just in our own. In the past was made much better music than now, with 4 instruments, and a tape recorder.
I have thought about this quite a bit myself. I agree with you in your philosophy of making the most of what you have available *right now*. I have been down this road with other systems that eventually died (the Paris system) because it was discontinued and the feature set was eventually outdated. I still use it, but I use it with cubase SX and Pulsar because it still has the best summing I've ever heard in a DAW. The mix bus is DSP based, 56 point fixed and there is a bit of analog emulation written into the DSP. This kind of summing will begin to be available on native systems once they evolve to 64 bit and developers have the time to rewrite the native code and drivers. I know that RME will be all over the 64 bit driver issue and if Creamware doesn't do this, it won't be able to interface with 64 bit software that is sure to become popular. That is one reason I'm not selling all of the RME hardware that I own. I may need it in the future if Creamware stops development and doesn't write Vista drivers. UAD has already written 64 bit drivers for their DSP cards. I think it would be suicide forCreamware to stop driver development for two main reasons. They will not be able to keep up with the new software DAW offerings and also much larger Creamware systems than can be used now on PCI based systems will be possible in the future with PCIe based mobos using Magma chassis with PCIe host interfaces, The PCIe bus can handle quite a bit more bandwidth than the PCI. If what I'm thinking is reality, and I don't know why it wouldn't be if PCI bandwidth is solely the issue with Pulsar card count, it would break the 3 x card limit and allow users to buy more Creamware cards. I remember seeing the Pulsar cards many years ago and being interested in them but hearing horror stories about drivers and configuration issues. I can attest to the fact that these have been solved, in spades. I've never had a more stable DAW running native software. It's amazing to me how stable the drivers are and I'm loving my 3 x card system here but it is limited to 3 x cards. I have only had it a month and I would buy another card right now if I thought I could use it. If Creamware doesn't sell enough hardware to keep the doors open, they will eventually become dust on the road, just another antique like Paris, DAL Opcode.etc. That would be a real shame for a system that has fought so hard to survive and has, so far, succeeded, IMO.
) to the one that was mixed at 96k, then downsampled and burned to CD. I had to be honest about it though and so when I told him what I had done with the mix that he liked, he suddenly preferred the Cubase mix that he *didn't like as much" before. Stupid,I know, but it is the reality of the business these days.
