Cubase Sx Or Logic Pro 7, switching from Cubase to Logic ? Options

[karkul]

Hi,
I'm new in this and need some opinions. I'd like to know who actually switched from Cubase to Logic and why?What is the main reason and what are the options? I'm thinking to buy a powerbook, but Cubase is more sympatic to me,that can run on PC and Mac. Is the Logic better software to create an electronic music (ambient)than Cubase and why?

thank you

Get a lot of bang for your buck with Logic Pro, especially if you can manage to qualify for the edu discount. Comes with a whole bunch of really great instruments and plugins; a sampler, drum machine, hammond emulator, clav emulator, electric piano, several very powerful synths including one which does physical modelling, pitch corrector, spectral impulse reverb, a couple of DVDs worth of loops and presets, the 'Environment' which can do real time midi stuff like Max (not MSP, though), two manuals with a lot of interesting history and tutorials on electronic music, and a full mastering and cd burning application!

With Cubase SX, you get the app, and a couple of really pretty dire synths and plugins. You'll be buying *a lot* of extra stuff to make it go! Some things maybe a bit slicker than Logic, the time stretching and audio quantization maybe a bit ahead. A drum editor, which Logic sort of kind of doesn't have.

(Small point, but if you care about such things the score editor in Logic is quite useable once you get to know it, while the one in Cubase is complete pants.)
