Cubase 9 pro price update#

Current price is $59 not $99 to move to 9.5.No wonder Logic is the preferred platform for so many users, and bang for the buck wins hands down. The drum plugins inside logic are at least as powerful, and are included FREE of charge. So $750 for cubase verses $199 for LOGIC.Д«ang for the buck Cubase is not in the race.ДЄlso charging extra for the drum plugins that reside inside the program (groove agent) is bad karma. I had never had Logic before, so I went from Logic Zero, to Logic Pro X for $199.

certainly not cheep.ДЄt the same time as I did the cubase update, i also bought a full version of Logic Pro X for $199.

I also paid another $150 to get Groove Agent 4. now its another $99 to go from 9.0 to 9.5.

Cubase 9 pro price update#

I run cubase 9.0 and my previous update from 4.5 cost something like $500. You can get the Sonar Professional retail (not an upgrade) today for в‚¬114, but their Platinium version with extra plugins (Drum Replacer etc.) and content costs a lot more (+$300 list). I kind of like how Ableton and Cakewalk make their product lines (except that Live Intro cannot be upgraded at all). Also regarding the product all the extra content and plugins kind of make it big but are not necessary to all of the users. If something new is implemented some old stuff can be removed. In software engineering terms itвЂ™s becoming a Blop and needs refactoring. I think Cubase Pro has grown too big a program and thatвЂ™s why it is so expensive, and itвЂ™s still growing and getting more expensive. Still IвЂ™m looking elsewhere, was reading Traction Waveform manual yesterday and it did seem to have almost all the same functionalities as Cubase Pro regarding the usual audio and MIDI tracking and editing (less notation and some). 5 upgrades are better than the all new releases as they are less buggy, thatвЂ™s why I usually skip those whole number releases.

Also itвЂ™s not a must to get the upgrades unlike with the OS upgrades, the 8.5 version is still great piece of software. On the other hand the в‚¬159 is not that much for a professional software at least if you count in the free updates. I donвЂ™t want to be complaining but why is the 8.5 to 9.5 upgrade so expensive after all, itвЂ™s almost more expensive that going trough the every distinct upgrade? Guess Steinberg/Yamaha wantвЂ™s everyone to get the latest upgrade ASAP to raise some money for the development (which is expensive).
