Mic essential for recording SFX outside?

Forums

So I am looking to "slowly" build an arsenal of mics for recording SFX mostly outside, where the environment is obviously not controlled.

This is mostly for my own personal use, but the hope is to eventually be able to use or design things for commercial use in the future. I am new to this, so any and all suggestions are welcome...

Loading Cubase SX3 files in Essential 4?

Hi all, hopefully someone can help me.

I've been given the opportunity to purchase Cubase Essential 4, but I have previously been using SX3. I found a file compatibility chart that says that I cannot open SX3 files in Essential 4, but I also saw somewhere else that said it's possible to open the files, but I'd lose some data.

Can anyone clarify on this?

Thanks.

Waves - SSL4000 Collection

Has anyone seen Cubase Essential 4?

I think that Cubase Essential 4 might be where I want to go after I've taken Audacity as far as it goes.

One of my biggest concerns is to have a clean screen. I can't work with dark screens; especially low-contrast dark screens stuffed with tiny controls. It's like having to deal with people who mumble instead of speak. It's a pain and it makes things harder than they need to be.
