I want to purchase Cubase Pro, but I’m confused as to what is what when looking. I keep seeing Pro 9, but there is sometimes a small circle in the upper corner of the box about it being an upgrade. Prices I see range btw $485-$590. I just want to be sure I’m buying the correct item with full features and parts included.
Also is it necessary to buy 9? Or is there a place to find a full version of 7-8.5, which I’ve heard also work well, and upgrade later? I’ve only seen 9 for sale on steinberg along with upgrades from the other versions. Either way, any help, or links to correct complete versions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks very much.
You need to buy a new (or at least non-activated) version of 8.5 (or earlier) to get the free upgrade to 9.
A new version would usually come with the USB dongle.
These update versions- is it still the complete ready-to-use software, but with the option to update? I wouldn’t just be buying an update I would have no use for since I don’t have Cubase yet?
Thanks so much for the link!!
