lmfao @ sx is garbage. Sorry to say but... Cubase sx 3.0 is bein taught at big music schools like full sail. Protools is bein pushed out the way by im' sry... was it cubase??? It's flexible, u don't have to use protool's shitty soundcards and stupid preamps. Cubase sx is simple, jus open it.. press record. if it aint workin, it's prolly cause of ur configuration. go to ur computer and mess with your audio properties.
