the Cubase LE software package that was included in my PreSonus Inspire Digital interface that I just now (literally just this week I) have figured out how to get it to do about 85% of what I want it to do, only to find that the package that I have comes equipped with a demo version of the MP3 export tool.
So... after spending three weeks installing software, building the tiniest, most cramped (yet still not even close to soundproof) soundbooth on the planet, teaking the mic to get the richest pickup possible without picking up every breath that I take (not to mention the clothes dryer humming through the floorboards from time to time - see previous note on non-soundproof booth
), I finally come to point where I am laying down voice tracks with a fair amount of confidence and mixing some real, honest to goodness production tracks with it, and get to a point that I feel comfortable submitting a home-grown demo ... >>>heavy breath<<< I get an export message from the Cubase software saying that my export tool has expired.
No problem, right? I just go over to Stenberg's site and sign up to get the Update patch and I'm ready to rock and roll again. Right?
Wrong! That's where I learn that Cubase LE is no longer supported with a Patch, that to do so, would require a purchase of Cubase4.
So here I sit. Wondering if PreSonus and Cubase have some sort of proprietary agreement, or if I can just go to Adobe and DL a copy of Audition or Soundbooth (right now, I'm not very happy with Steinberg at all
). After all, I can get 30 days free from either one of those suites, while I save up money (or win enough jobs
) to just buy the thing and run it like an honest galactic herald.
Does anyone else use the PreSons Interface? Any suggestions?
The quicker the better. I have an audition that is due Monday.
