Default Re: How did you get started in audio engineering?

I got started as a Nature recorder. I have always loved the songs of crickets & cicadas. In '04 I found someone selling a minidisc recorder and I bought a few clip-on mics and spent a summer roaming the fields at night and recording insects. I used CoolEdit to create a CD I called "Insect Summer of Love". (Insect Summer of Love Nature Sounds of 2004)
This was how I learned the basics of music tracking & recording. Would you believe that I get a request for this CD a few times a month. People say the summer insect sounds are very relaxing.

Since then I've re-started playing guitar/bass and discovered Ambient music, so now I"m ready to get serious about recording. I HAVE to record my own tracks because it's easier than trying to find folks who will jam with me

Now can anyone answer a question. I have Cubase LE. What is the difference with "regular" Cubase? And is it possible to upgrade without having to buy the latest versions for several hundred $$? If not, what am I missing by not upgrading?

Thanks!
