Cubase LE to Cubase 4?

[LosingReality]

Will upgrading from cubase LE to Cubase 4 or studio 4, increase the quality of my recordings?


I have LE and am happy with it, all i do is record guitar cab with it. But is there anything to Cubase 4 or studio 4 that LE is lacking (recording quality wise?)

Thanks

I think 4 is a bit better sounding, but if all you're recording is 1-2 tracks of distorted guitar you won't hear that much of a difference...and the improved workflow and routing etc won't help you either.

so I'd say as long as you're just recording a couple of guitartracks and aren't really mixing stick with LE...spend the money you're saving for a better preamp , a better cab or room-treatment....all those will give you a bigger improvement in soundquality than making the switch to 4 IMO

If I remember correctly the main thing that jumps out at me is the amount of inserts per channel that you can use. LE, again this is if I remember correctly, only has like 4 insert slots per track, whereas SX1/2/3/Cubase4/Studio4 has 8 per channel.

And doesn't LE have a limited track count?

My friend's LE that came with his Lexicon Lambda only lets you have 2 inserts per track uke:

The reason I jumped to SL 3 (and soon studio 4) was the need for more inputs (LE has 2) more VSTi slots (again LE only has 2) and the need to track more than 8 tracks at a time.

Other than that meh. Although time and audio warp were a nice new kickass feature.

When you say 8 tracks at a time.....you mean 8 inputs...like mic'ed drums and guitar and other stuff.

You dont mean 8 tracks total for the whole project right?

I have LE and i have 8 insert slots. Got it with a FP10. Not sure how many tracks i can record at a time. Also it has a track count of 48 if i remember correctly.

Just tried recording and i am able to record all 8 inputs PLUS 2 s/pdif tracks...So i can record upto 10 tracks at once on Cubase LE.

Use Reaper instead

P.S. Here is a comparison chart of the 3 versions of Cubase 4:
