That post the link goes to mentions “Cubase 5.0” but it’s really referring to Cubase VST32 5.0… I think this is the version Steve uses. I recall that release, it’s the one that first offered 32-bit float point recording and had the “TrueTape” saturation feature (which sounded really metallic to me). Then the SX series followed, which incorporated the Nuendo audio engine.
