Saw this ad in an ST Format from '89

Cubase is almost as the same price point then as now, C-Lab Creator which later have become Logic is a tad more expensive then than now, and of course money was a bit more worth back then...

Yes but at that time you could buy a house in the midlands for that money.

There was a big update of the legacy site just now: http://www.stformat.com/

All issues online, this is a treasure chest for info about computer music at the beginning as the Atari ST was used so extensively during the beginning to mid 90's

Bookmarked! Damn - that was a good site! :hyper:

Stuff has gotten cheaper, not only because the price has been reduced but also because software does so much more.

£499 then would be roughly £868 now. That would make it more expensive back then no?

You are right

Steinberg can maybe use it as advertising, ala "getting more affordable all the time" :D

Yeah, I was actually surprised how much less a $/£/€ is worth these days.

Of course, buying it today is loads cheaper: think of all the updates that you would have bought if you had purchased Cubase in '89 :D
