Hello,

Sequel would be an easy way for you to sketch ideas. The nice thing about Sequel is when you upgrade to Cubase 4 you can open your Sequel sketch inside Cubase 4 and with Acid you cannot. All of your Sequel effects, automation, transposition, etc, will open right up in Cubase 4. Then you can use Cubase 4's advanced mixing, effects, automation, and everything else to make your track sound pro. Plus Sequel gives you access to over 5,000 loops for production.

Cubase SX 3 cannot open Sequel projects. Cubase 4 is the only program that can open Sequel projects inside it. However, upgrade offers are available from www.steinbergupgrades.com
