Anybody here using Cubase Elements? I have the last upgrade of Cubase 5 and I see that Cubase is now up to v7. For a Cubase 5 user, the upgrade is $250. That seems kind of high to me. As someone who mainly uses Cubase to play VST instruments and do some recording, Cubase Elements looks ideal. I have no use for automation or any of the fancier features that Cubase has. So, is it worth switching to Elements, or would I be better off just sticking with Cubase v5, which at some point will probably no longer be supported by Steinberg (if it even still is)?
