Fortunately, no crashing issues for me.

I'm really having a hard time understanding how this is going to be useful to me. It doesn't seem like I can open up more than one ensemble at a time in Cubase, so scratch full sequencing in there unless I choose to export my finished work and layer it all together as wavs. The stand-alone option doesn't seem to have a record feature... so no knob or controller automation. Am I missing something here?
I'll e-mail you later Professor, I think I need to polish up on my knowledge of some other stuff before I'm ready to really dig into this program.
