| I see threads with vst's this and that. I have cubase sx3 but i dont use it, cause my sound card sucks. Should i just get with the times buy a decent sound card and start using cubase? |

Um... not really...
There's nothing wrong with Reason, buy a good soundcard and use BOTH!
quiet hint: "It's called rewire" |

Dont switch the Cubase just for the sake of it, Reason is quite capable.
On the other hand, if Reason works with your current soundcard I see no reason that Cubase wouldnt, you dont need a good soundcard to use Cubase any more than you need one to use Reason... |

um... are u remotely clued in or just shooting from a hip?
while it would work, certainly latency could be an issue. Recording with Reason, you're only sending midi control messages, hence, no true latency would be very visible.
Cubase running several audio tracks could experience SUBSTANTIAL latency if using DirectX and/or crappy sound card. ASIO is definitely a way to go and is offered by "pro" sound cards. Of course you can get an Audigy, which supports ASIO, however, I know nothing about its performance capabilities.
Also, Reason is not a DAW app nor does it offer VSTi capability.
just my $0.02 |

OH, and the question itself is a bit... silly, imho.
It's like asking "Should I switch from Office 2003 to Windows XP?"
Reason is (for all intents and purposes) a virtual instrument, while Cubase is a multi-track recorder to record said instrument. It is true that reason can be used as a stand-alone app and can be used to create tracks, you are however limited to Reason itself (well +refills).
anywho, if anything - I'd recommend switching to Live. Cubase is tooo cumbersome and tooo confusing for many of aspiring musician's needs. Live is definitely a better choice, unless you intend to get very heavy with MIDI, video editing, surround recording (in which case you should be running Nuendo) anyway. list is long.
read. learn. recognize!
peace out! |

..."in your oppinion" :rolleyes:
Personally I found live to be the most annoyingly fidgety piece of I had ever laid my eyes on, not to mention it is basically the most resource inefficient daw in existence. |

isn't logic suspoused to have a steeper learning curve than cubase..?
cubase is alot more clean to me and i figured it out without the manual or f1.. but ableton that seems really hard to do =*( |
