I left the country and all my gear behind last year. I hope to get back into it next year, when I get my gear back. In the meantime I'll be lurking here.

I went from C5 to C8 then jumped to C12.

The effects are night and day difference.

The instruments are night and day difference. In C5 you don't even have Halion Sonic. Now there is HS7 with a lot of useful sounds and patterns (flexphrase). The drum machine is very useful.

Recording and "comping" has been made really easy since C5.

Mixing and mastering has a whole ton of options and processing tools now. Visual loudness with LUFS measurements is now an essential part of mixing (at least for me). Non existent in C5 and even C8.

There is a lot of new bells and whistles too, like chord track and chord pads. I don't use them much but I can see them being very useful for some.

Learning curve is higher with C12. Definitely download and take a look at the 2 sample projects that come with C12. Very useful for learning how some of the pros do things with C12. I wish they had more sample projects for users to download.
