i can't vouch for the quality of this controller, but if you're also unhappy with your multitrack software, here is a potentially good deal:

Wow, that's seriously intriguing... I don't much to complain about w/ my Krystal audio freeware software, but I imagine Cubase has things I haven't even thought to look for yet :-) And I hear about it all the time so I gather it's rather popular.

You should bear in mind that it's Cubase SE which is a cut-down version of Cubase SX. Here's a chart showing what the differences are. It's still likely to be a huge leap up from Krystal, although you should also factor in that it's not the quickest and easiest thing to learn.

If you want to totally revolutionise your sound then clik on the link in my sig. Read about the wonder that is Creamware Scope, then browse E-Bay for a PulsarII. Should get one for 250 easily.


But be prepared, buy one and youll soon start craving more. Seriously with these damn things too much aint never enough

I know exactly why.
