Any info/guesses on when an "Essentials" version of Cubase 5 might be
available?
I have SE3 running on a Vista laptop & considering upgrade to Cubase 4
Essentials, but perhaps I should wait until I can jump straight to v5.
Thanks in advance for any help &/or opinions,
Al

You could ask Steinberg if you qualify for a free upgrade to C5E if
you purchase C4E now?

Thanks for the suggestion, Bas.

"The Cubase Essential 5 will come later this year."

& from http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/steinberg_news/detailansicht/article/cubase-5-grace-period-update-process-478.html
"customers who have bought Cubase 4 between December 1, 2008, and
March 31, 2009, ... are eligible to obtain a Grace Period Update to
Cubase 5 at a special price".

So it looks like Steinberg are only making that offer for a very
narrow window ahead of the launch of the new version, perfectly
reasonably IMO, so I probably won't take the risk of upgrading twice
this year.

Thanks again for the answer.
