in a nut shell ..yes
LE will be limiting only to the point of ' extras ' so if you get stuck in and learn LE it will be a real good stepping stone when you do upgrade to the full versions ( you'll know when that time arrives )..so carry on with LE ... cubase is a brilliant tool
for any musician
get yourself a cheap midi keyboard ( loads on the market )so you can use midi to input your drums basses and vsti

i suppose it depends on what you want to use cubase for..i use SX3 in the studio basically in a layering
process ...ie record a drum track..then a bass track..then an acc guit ..then a......and so on and so on..i think most people work this way as its the only way for a one man set up..but the results can be really satisfying and very professional
most popular music is recorded like this anyway
as far as which version to use ......sx3 v cub5....sx3 hasn't got pitch correction,but i use melodyne... sx3 hasn't got halion.
but i use 'directwave'(sampleplayers)and so on (you've just done something similar by getting 'beat calculator' )cubase 5 has got more bells and whistles if you want them but the real core of any version is a multitracking
recording device
so in any one project  do you want 256 stereo tracks? do you want 128 vsti do you want to run 200 plug ins etc etc
do you want to pitch shift a track while apply time stretch and pitch correction all at the same time,while it cooks dinner and wipes your ars* then cubase 6 will probably do that
i dont do any of this thats why i can survive in a sensible manner using SX3

so what do you want out of your multitracker (cubase-any version)
you neen to see what the different versions are offering to see whats best for you
go to the websites for this info

.......as important is the interfacing, a flexible mixer is minimum

that should do the job it looks similar to the sx3 version

i use sx3 and have no intentions of upgrading as there is nothing i cant do in SX3 .. esp with all the
3rd party plugs and vsti

i really recommend you go top end with your sequencer tho ...if your using cubase then cubase 5 (but not the studio version)

what is your 'usb' interface?

most people who struggle writing songs are non singers...are you a singer

get the song going in your head while you're playing your git and tapping your feet ( open project-->beat calcutor first )then still in a trance to that particular groove start tapping the space bar per beat .. this will give you the tempo your tapping..then go to the transport bar and change tempo from track to fixed and imput the tempo ...get the metronome going and start creating a drum track at your ( at the moment) tempo

always round up or down to the nearest whole beat
ie say 92 not 91.32 what the beat calculator might compute

gibson les paul junior..just a guess
anyone else got any guesses

it obviously turned olly off

if you turned it upside down from its original position.. then it would be all of the above but pointing towards you

lets hope they're already imported because if you have to buy direct  from china  you'll probably
have arthritus in your fingers before you get your strings ( bad experiences ..ebay )

please post on the mod...just one thing make sure the diameter of the ball of any particular string is smaller than the end of the screw where it sits else its a t**t to get out...you can use a small washer to stop the ball
sinking in if necessary...best of luck with the mod..its well worth it

could you please join the ' left handed 'thread in the guitar forum

the later floyds have done away with the blocks...have a look how they are strung
you can modify to the later fitting...much quicker to change strings..no mucking about.. i made my own .so its no big deal...
