[cw-discuss] Cubase LE?

[Jeremy White]

Hi Joel,

I'm afraid that at this point, the best that's known about Cubase
is in the compatibility center.

The lack of input audio is a known issue; we have a separate
entry for it here:
  http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name?app_id=2069
The truth is that the audio processing needs a lot of love,
all around.

Hardware drivers are not going to be supported on CrossOver;
the Wine technology allows us to run Windows applications - Windows
drivers would be a whole different ball of wax.

Gosh, I'm just full of bad news :-/.  Sorry.

Cheers,

Jeremy
