These two are not at the same level at all-AU is audio editing software, and Cubase is a typical audio workstation. If the directory is integrated, you can use workstation software decisively, mainly in addition to editing recordings, playing music and composing music, which is powerful. From the difficulty of entry, AU is much simpler, and it can be used if the workload is not large. At present, only the old version 5 of Cubase has been cracked, and a new version 8 needs to be purchased. The element version of cracking garbage is a pure experience, and its function is good. The education version is 2200~2400 soft sister coins, and the retail version is 2000 expensive. There is no difference in function, but the educational version lacks commercial authorization. AU has a cracked version, which makes it very convenient to crack all Adobe software. If you want to use the workstation again and don't want to spend money, just use sonar X3. Sonar has no encryption dog with a full conscience ~ ~ ~
