Why would anyone update from Artist 9.5 to Artist 10.

First, I have Pro, so there is enough for me stump up £85 from 9.5 to 10. Which I am currently installing.

My writing partner, uses Artist 9.5. As far as he can see, the changes seem to be mostly cosmetic and cannot see anything to justify £68 to upgrade.

All the new features appear Pro only.
Mix console snapshots might have swayed him, but at the moment, I can’t see any reason why he would upgrade.

Someone convince me (and him).

Yeah, same thought. After checking the new stuff and what version gets what, I could only think that Steinberg wants people to go Pro to make more $$$. That’s ok, it’s their business and they want to make more money but Cubase not being my main DAW, I just can’t justify 120$CAD for a distortion plugin and easier side-chaining, essentially. Artist 9.5.41 will work great for quite some time.

Hi,

According to this page, all of these are Pro & Artist, or Pro & artist & Elements.

This is the list of differences, clearly ARA2 among others will be Pro only.

Hi,

ARA is not at the list for Cubase Artist, I shared.

Thanks for that. I have sent an annotated list to my writing partner, to see if I can convince him to upgrade. But given Heavocity have a 50% off sale. New sounds might be more important.
