Xmas comin' and Santa Claus, too. My ponderings are:
- Either i upgrade my Cubase 5 essential to 7 which is affordable ATM
- or i change horses and make reaper my DAW
- or i pump my old essential up with expensive plug-ins
- My needs for "production" (ha, that is a good one, aint it?)
- Not 48 audio tracks, but more than 20
- Good effects, particularly a good reverb where i can change the roomsize and see what i am doin (qb essential does not have this)
- Good compressor plug-ins
- VST compatible, ofcourse, i will stay true to my Toontracks (SD and EZ)
First question concerning the above, is it a good idea to upgrade cubase to the newest edition (7). Does it have sth worth the punt or is it better
to invest the christmas money into a let us say a fairchild plug-in and a good reverb or would it be a good idea to change DAWs completely?
I think it is hight time to upgrade, but on the other hand: why? if what i need is to be found elsewhere? Your thoughts?
