CuBase VST 5

[stewUtah]

I just purchased a DAW and CBase VST 5 (with a LPT dongle) was thrown in with the deal. Is this still considered a decent piece of software. Do I need to upgrade?

I'm recording acoustic instruments and would like to put my money toward decent mic and/or pre-amps

Thanks

It's not necessary to upgrade but probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I think you need to update the license though for a minimal fee.

you may not br able to upgrade at all... not sure... but steiny just announced no support for several old progs... think you just bought one... but with a prog that old how old is the puter???

Steinberg offers basic upgrades for Cubase vst 5 that can be found here: http://www.steinberg.net/index.php?id=901&L=1 As for needing to upgrade to a better or newer version, It seems to me that you are fairly new to the DAW recording world and I will let you know that as far as learning how everything works in Cubase and how to integrate multi-channels and vst plugins for recording etc. this program is perfect for you. It will definitely allow you to record acoustic instruments well as long as you have a decent sound card and will teach you a lot along the way. Then when you get great at using this program and decide to upgrade, it won’t scare you away by seeming so intimidating.

Cheers and Have fun with your new Toy!
