i havent tried recording with another sequencer - i cant afford cubase - its not even an option.
with 0 VSTs running with all unnecessary startup processes disabled i can usually record single patches and it wont fuck up too bad. i still get an annoying static burst at the start of each recording as a result of my ASIO drivers not liking the CPU intense reverb i like to use (SIR). if i keep it under 10% CPU load i can usually monitor at less than 5ms latency and record without any hitches. but the output is fairly quiet compared to the volume i can get out my VST synths without clipping.
above 20% load i start to get choppiness and static. above 50% load - no chance.
