I have just gotten back into recording after 15 years. So my interface, software etc are all 15 years old. I had a decent sized struggle to get them working with a modernish computer running windows 7, but I can record and edit now. Interface is MOTU 828 MKII, and software is Cubase SX 2.03.
My question is : is there a reason to upgrade to a new Cubase?
I am a one man band at the moment, I record all instruments live, no MIDI (although I might play with this at some point). I have enlisted my old bass player and drummer to help finish the tracks. My bass player has been recording onto garageband and sending me his tracks, which I then import into Cubase. I see the new cubase has a remote recording function which might make things easier, but so far my method has been ok.
Just wondering after 15 years if software is so much better, or is it still the same basic thing for a guy like me with simple needs?
Btw, I attempted to answer this question for myself by downloading the trial version of cubase 9.5, but it wouldn't work with my graphics card (too old I guess).
So an upgrade would probably be software + computer.
