I have Cubase Essential 5 and am going to upgrade soon. I mostly do sequencing and have gotten more and more into orchestral sample music. Also I’ll be sequencing more VST synths in the future.
So my question is, for midi and sequencing, which of the two Cubases should I pick? Is Cubase Artist 6 going to be enough or will there be certain features in Cubase 6 that I’ll definitely be wanting as I get into deeper midi editing?
For instance, I see that Cubase 6 has VST Expression 2.0, whereas Cubase Artist does not… Is this a feature one shouldn’t be without?
Thank you so much for the comments, curteye and thinkingcap.
I’m still not sure what to do and price is indeed an issue so I might just go with Cubase Artist 6 and see if I run into any limitations along the way.
Did you (or anyone else) have any thoughts on VST Expression 2.0? Is it a very valuable tool?
IMHO Good idea. Looks like from there you can upgrade all the way to C6
and still save a lil money.
I use it all the time.
My big band horn sections now sound much more ‘real.’
Much more like a big band horn section should sound.
Tight. Very tight; but not perfect.
