Cubase 5 studio. Is it worth spending almost $200 more for 5?

[Iamsparrow]

Im kinda in a fix. I got a pretty basic setup with a presonus firestudio.

I want to upgrade to Cubase 5 or cubase 5 studio because I dont want to have to start from scratch on all the music I've already recorded.

The studio version is about $150 more and has a few less features. The thing thats making me want to pay more for the non studio version is that it contains all sorts of built in pitch correctors and vocal editing tools built into the interface.

I have read all the information and watched all the videos on Steinbergs web page so I don't need a link.

I can't find any information on the internet about whether its worth the extra money or not.

Can I buy the vocal editing software elsewhere and still save money?

They screw you out of a lot of small stuff. I would definitely go for the full version.

If the full version is worth it is a matter of what YOU need to do.

I'd say get the full version though. The savings of two Texas pennies wont be worth
it I think.

yeah, and the warp editing (the protools equivalent of elastic time) is also missing from the studio version

 

[PhilTheBeard]

get the full version bro it's amazing!

Are you a student? If so, its only $300

Regardless, if you buy from jrrshop.com you can get a 15% discount on all Cubase 5 versions under the group buy section. I don't know if just upgrading is cheaper or not...

I would say the full version is worth it, but the vocal editing stuff isnt anything to drool over. It's nice to have but not near as in depth as something like Melodyne.
