Hi Stephen, One very important piece of information to assist in answering your question. What OS are you running, and hope to be running in the near future? This is especially timely as the dig. audio prod. industry is getting more and more poised for major migration to OS X. Some VST plug-ins aren't ready yet, some are; some have pledged allegiance to Core Audio (Apple's native audio/MIDI protocol), others (for ex. Steinberg's ASIO VST driver protocol - a must if you're going to use VST w/ Digidesign hardware) hasn't made the migration, nor is in a hurry to get there. Let us know :-) Best regards, Dana P.S. I'm fond of MOTU, personally find Cubase simply odd.
