I have problems with Atmosphere VST and the Korg Legacy Collection synths with FL. I also hate the way the VST's are handled and especially presets but I didn't realize that until I gave Cubase a try.

I hate that too. I have a few workarounds for getting legacy and wavestation to work correctly, but it's still a bit inconvenient to have to jump through all the hoops. There's also the annoying way some VSTi sounds squelch when they are first played in a song. I have a workaround for that too, but yet again, what a pain.

Hi there..

I'm a cubase user since version 1.. but to the point.. If you're learning cubase check out videos like the guys said earlier in the posts. But I think the easiest way is to find somebody who accually knows cubase and go over there and see him work for fiew hours. Recently a friend of my picked up cubase (he was using fl before) and basically not knowing anything about how cubase works he spend fiew hours at my place. So first day he was able to record, vst, audio, and using hardware synths with cubase. I showed him how to so the most important stuff: like adding fx, automation, recording vst and hardware synths, key editor, group tracks, for compressing more than one audio channel.. He still has some questions but I can tell you this..He told me that in one day he learned how to do more, and get nicer resoults than he learned in fl in 6 months.. Casue in FL he was learning on his own.. So if you have a chance hook up with someone who has cubase and ask for a little tutorial It will help you so much, that you should be doing all the most important stuff in matter of hours

You are a very nice guy! I say this because not everyone will so nicely do what you did there for your friend. Your friend is quite fortunate. When I tried to learn, I found myself alone since it seemed to me those that knew Cubase were not interested in teaching me. I think this attitude is quite common because a lot of people feel like they have paid their dues and learned it the hard way so why just show somebody in one day would would take them 6 months to learn on their own? Personally I don't agree with this and am always willing to help as much as I can. Now people that are just plain lazy, that is another story. Looking back I wish I had someone like yourself because I would have been that much further ahead.

All I can say is: time + the manual gave me everything I need to know. Most of the stuff is intuitive, and you can find everything else in the manual- you just may have to search the help system for awile before you find what you're looking for. Like I say- I think pretty much everything can be learned this way. Just keep asking questions, too I guess.
