Another Happy user (Mark Las Vegas) I can't help you with Cubase & XP as I use Cubasis & Millenium but I can suggest Sonar as the demo I've tried hasn't crashed yet while Cubasis constantly crashes(maybe they should change the name to:"a serious problem has occured...").In a couple of weeks there will be a sale on 5.0 (upgradable to 5.1 for free with purchase) for $199 which makes it cheaper than Sonar but I just want whatever doesn't need so much patience.this site is a godsend for me as music isn't my profession and it's hard to justify three or four hundred dollars for software every time something new comes along. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Databaseaudio Mailing List : Unsubscribe etc. at : http://www.databaseaudio.co.uk/mailing-list.php ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
