SX3 sounds so nice though. There's the usual quotient of Stupid Things The 
Designers Did but mostly it's fast, very usable, and 32-bit float and 
proper dither throughout means it's one of the best sounding systems around.

I've always hated Cubase. When it was a solo Steinberg project it was 
always a piece of buggy crap that promised more than it delivered. But now 
that Pinnacle have taken over they've finally released a version that looks 
and feels finished, with no serious loose ends.

I've been using it a lot over the last couple of weeks and it feels like a 
completely different package.

Sonar, in comparison, is just horrible. Really, *really* ugly.
