Yeah, I need to get a DAW that will actually let me use VST plug-ins though. Steinberg don't do themselves any favours making Cubasis so shit, it's not a very good advert for Cubase.
I'm trying out SONAR right now, which seems to be quite powerful, but the learning curve for some aspects of it seem to be much steeper than they should be. It doesn't help that they bombard you with toolbar buttons and menus. I shouldn't have to look in the help file, or mouse over every single fucking button just to change the metronome settings.
What's the standard way to work when you're recording guitars and have one of those cab simulators available. Do you just record your guitar clean and apply any effects you want in your DAW?
All that said, at the moment, there's not much point in me getting any of these plug-ins, as I'm recording through a shitty gaming headset microphone at the moment. Garbage in, garbage out, and all that.
