Looks like there won't be four versions any more, just full Cubase and one light version (Cubase Studio).

Edit:
Oh and it looks like they released Cubase 4 now
Edit again:
No, they just "introduced" it now. The release date is October 9th.

A feature not related to VST3 but to the Cubase mixer: effects can now be re-arranged using drag & drop. This works both within a single channel, as well as between channels.

/me is happy

They don't directly talk about sidechaining anywhere, though.

Hmm, I hope it's good enough to sway me away from wasting $700 on an Mbox 2. Really keeping my fingers crossed.

Cubase 4 does not support sidechaining It only supports it on VST3 plugins, nothing else. What are they thinking at Steinberg, or are they thinking?

the option to re-arrange plug-ins is good, i used to hate putting a reverb before a compressor only to have to switch them round and reload the plug-ins.

Yep, a feature that SONAR has had since the beginning of time...

Amen. Although I like Cubase's interface better, Sonar has much more convenient features. I hated reloading a million plugins when I wanted to switch the order of effects in Cubase.

Yeah Cubase has some massive drawbacks, but all that said and done, it's the DAW I'm most familiar with. There's this security blanket feel I get with it that I just don't with any other application. That's why I always hope that they patch up its flaws.

The decision not to implement convenient side-chaining puzzles me.

thats the same way i feel about Nuendo. i just moved up to Nuendo 3 and love it...the only problem was when upgrading, my user templates for some reason didnt install properly, they are there but sometimes it wont let you arm some tracks
