What Cubase product is best for a portable solution?

[alexis]

Hi - I run Cubase 6.5, but am looking at Sequel or other Steinberg products (Cubasis, Cubase iC, Cubase AI) to help me w/ a portable solution for my Cubase projects. What I want to do is take my Cubase projects away from my home studio to listen to them on different sets of speakers, playing the project there on my own computer, through an interface.

1) Can I take my Cubase projects and load them onto an iPad/Android Tablet that has Sequel or another Steinberg product loaded, or do I need a laptop ... or will Sequel not be able to play Cubase projects no matter what kind of device it's loaded on?

2) If the answer is "yes" the Steinberg product can play a Cubase project ... can I also **edit** a Cubase project in Sequel, then bring it back to my home studio and load it with changes back into Cubase?

3) Which of the products require a Dongle?

Which, if any of these Steinberg products is the best one for me ... remembering that I don't really need to record audio into it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I am keenly awaiting the update to C7 before I do anything but being a "desktop" kind of person may I suggest a new EFI based Win8 laptop (unless you aspire to use Mac) and then you can use the donlge between machines.

Alternatively I believe Cubase Elements still exists and a trial is available (do not use AI).

Hey skug, thanks for that! Will look at ELements for sure ... by the way, why "do not use AI"?

Cubasis was looking good until I saw it required Cubase 7 or 8 on the main DAW to download Cubasis projects to there. Mine is XP ... will upgrade one day, but not now, and not just for this purpose.

For the money you will pay for hardware you may as well use what you already have and either get the basic package or full blown Cubase or both.

If you use MIDI, the smaller tablet apps might be too limited.

The conundrum I am facing is whether or not Elements will have a successor since Artist does not have certain features I need such as batch export.
