Feature:
Steinberg adverts this as almost SX.That is not the truth. I personally do-not do surrond sound yet and may never BUT that is NOT the only MAJOR difference. You cannot add effects to your input and record. You Can assign differnt busses and grup your channels to them -BUT ..what's the use -as after you mix ,then you CAN NOT export the SUM of the buss/group down to a 2 track mix. What SL means is Lite .This is not for studio's.This is for the hobbyist.
Quality:
Rock solid for me.
Value:
Not worth the american dollar.This should sell for about the sane as Cakewalk home studio ,about 150.0o usd. You can NOT upgrade over to the Steinberg SX platform. the only upgrade is within the SL line of the product.
Desirability:
It's appeal would be that Midi and audio DO work together pretty well ,and Most importantly -VST support.
Sound:
Apogee for dithering down to 16 x 44.1 is very good.Compression is pretty good.Reverb O.K.Sony's [vegas] is better.
Support:
Steiberg is not as competetant at keeping information visable to there own customer base as many other softeware developers are.[not customer focused]
Overall:
If you spend your American dollar on this.You Will NOT be able to upgrade to SX. only with in the SL line.So when you are ready to move up to some professional grade software -you will have no investment.
