I've currently got Cubase LE4 with it's associated limited plug-ins. I'm ready to get serious with more pro level soft mixing tools and soft instruments/effects.
My plan was to cover sounds and effects with Komplete 6 and then get some kind of Waves like package for compression, eq, reverb, etc. and continue using Cubase LE4 since I haven't hit any limitations on it yet (that I know of...).
Then I was advised by the local music store dude to get Cubase 5 instead of Waves (or similar) since it comes with a bunch of soft mixing tools that are decent (can users confirm the decency of these?).
So if I get Komplete 6, do I need to get the full Cubase 5 version, or since I wouldn't need the extra VSTi's does Cubase Studio 5 have enough for me. But then are there soft mixing tools in the full version that aren't in Studio that people love to use?
I searched on this site and checked out the version comparison on the Steinberg site but my noobiness can easily overlook some essential function on the full version that I'll hate myself for missing later.
