Hi,
I have a choice to buy (2nd hand) Cubase Elements 10 or Cubase Artist 6.5 (for home recording).
But I notice (from steinberg website) Elements 10 is THREE TIMES CHEAPER than Artist 10. (which, to me, means it must be EXTREMELY stripped down).
So, with that in mind, is the Artist 6.5 a good contender to Elements 10 ?
Many people seem to like version 6.5 because they like the GUI (interface) and its fast, lite and does the job well. and most people seem to like the layout of 6.5.
I am a windows 7 user. (not intending to get Win 10)
Desktop computer is not bad.. (i7 cpu, 12gb ram, ssd hard drive and recent graphics card).
I am doing Home Recording (vocal, guitar, keyboard) and dont want to spend unnecessary time clicking buttons and checking boxes; but on the other hand I do want to have a good amount of plug-in's and effects, eq's compressors etc.
ie: I want the final sound to be decent; But I dont want the process to be tedious.
Would you recommend I get the version "6.5 ARTIST" or do you think I should get "10 ELEMENTS" ?
Or, do you think maybe I should hunt online for a well priced 8 or 9 Artist instead ?
I would prefer to have 10 Artist, (but its above my budget).
Are there loads more effects/plug-ins and features on 10 Elements that are worth the problems of 'high CPU usage' and other problems ?
I really would love to know the opinions from experienced users.
I dont want to spend weeks and weeks learning how to use over-complicated software.
I am computer savvy, but also I dont want to waste unnecessary time.
or, do you think there is a more suitable version of Cubase that I should search for online ?
Thank you VERY MUCH for any help that you can give me
