i use SX3 ... people upgrade for the sake of it
and get extra features which are about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike
start with SX3 cub4 or cub5 and stick with it dont try to be cool and upgrade everytime another version comes out..but if you must always go for the full version because if you go for the studio versions or less
they will definately have features missing that you got use to in earlier versions
if you use the ' full version' then 'i wonder what i am missing out on' does not become an issue
ive always used cubase since it started (pro24 on the atari)its as good as any other top end sequencer
..ive tried them all inc pro tools..they've all got their pros and cons .. so if you're using cubase stick with it
higher versions will always have more features, thats pretty obvious..or is it ..because sometimes earlier features are discarded ,so something you really got used to disappears .this is one of the reasons i am ( more than )happy to stick with SX3..theres nothing it cant do for me ( except write me a number 1)
and a few other things i dare'nt print
