I think Cubase is just a tool. Creativity is up to us! I love Cubase, by the way, and I hope they generate good income consistently for a long time to come! I continue to be awed by the fact that for a relatively small sum, and with a reasonably powerful computer, you replace an entire music studio, including some of the side men, and you get a score too. You really cannot blame lack of output on the tool these days! Thanks to every single person who works at Steinberg!
