I use cubase sx2 and have to say it is purely amazing. The only thing that could be considered better might be pro tools, since the audio editor is slightly more convient. I wouldn't say it's better in anyway, but the midi is supposedly better in cubase.
You can load as many plugings as your computer can handle in cubase, just like reason. The thing with cubase vs. protools is the system is able to carry over somewhat vs. protools where you must buy new hardware every six years. With cubase, all you have to upgrade is the software, possibly to work with the next operating system. Since the hardware with cubase is designed to work with any product, you really win with cubase. I tried sonar but it just seemed sorta cheesy to me, I liked the technical edge to cubase.
Reason looks cool and all, but since you folks say the audio engine sucks, I completely lost interest.
Cubase is totally cool because it has a audio editor, pool for audio files, you can drop the audio files from the pool into the project window and it just makes a new track automatically. Since you should be making everything in audio anyways, way easier to get a professional sound than working with midi tracks, unless you have compressors and reverb hardware units to process the sound in realtime? I suppose there is flexibilty that makes reason cool because it can be programmed in midi and more easily changed.I disagree with midi because everything ends up in audio anyways, so why not just samples and loops, canceling out the tedious task of recording the songs after they are produced. Unless you are recording the whole mix as one track, which I find makes worse results then idependently recording each track and then mixing down the audio files.
