Cubase SX3 Vs Cubase LE 4

[yancrazy]

I am currently using Cubase SX3 and have always used SX (post cubase VST). However i see more and more people choosing Cubase LE4. Please if there are any advantages to using Cubase LE4 over SX then please help me determine if i should switch until i can afford my protools rig.

People like LE because it's free. You get it when you buy an interface, it's the lite version, your better off with SX3.

I'm thinking of going to Cubase 5 though... It's $100 cheaper than 4 and has some pretty interesting looking things in it.

Thx Tacman i think im already convinced to stay with SX3.

I haven't updated my OS to Vista, guess I will eventually.

When I have a 64bit OS it might really pay off to have a sequencer that can take advantage of the 64bit processing and all my memory. Right now I only see 2.5GB of the 4GB installed but that's plenty for what I'm doing.

There are some pretty neat audio fx and plugins, the manual is a pretty interesting read:

I might wait 6 months or so till the first update is available.
