C7 Elements vs. C Studio 4.

Now if you had “trusted” Steinberg, you would have noticed they do not offer upgrades from “Studio” to “Elements” versions at all - guess why? Why do some people always have to blame anyone else for their own faults…
Certainly you should not assume so much…
Apart from that you should be able to upgrade to Cubase Artist 7 or Cubase 7 for the same amount it had cost to buy it directly.
