Hi,
I'm getting ready to buy a new computer for my future studio. After emailing, posting messages in forums, long considerations etc. it looks like I will go in the direction of a PC. Why? I talked to an employee of Apple, and he told me that if I buy a G4 today, I should be ready to sell it when new processors come out at the end of 2003. I wanted to ask Mac users, what do you think about this new, what I think they call "G5" and what is it going to mean for you? Will your current software and recording hardware work with the G5? Also, how is Cubase SX with OSX? Please elnighten me, I might still change my mind and go Mac if it makes sense. Petra |

Petra I think you should browse a little here in the beginners forum as some of your questions have already been overviewed there. Also check the OSX forum on the cubase SX issue. If a peculiar question has no answer, feel free to post a new subject on it. Easier to get answers to a single question. Remember you have other options on the mac than Cubase, DP and Logic (subsidiary of Apple now, think of it) are the pro contenders with Protools.
On the G5 or the next generation processor that we are desperatly waiting for SOME time now. I can't you the agenda of Apple. But one thing is sure, they can't wait till next year to provide us a quantum leap in power, or they will loose customers. they have to push the accelerator on the motherboards are some features are lagging, it's true. Upon your case, everything depends on what do you want to do with your mac. In the opposite ot he PC world, Presto is perfectly right on this, users tend to use their mac a long time (the 5 years span is common) and usually (nothing is perfect in the world) without a major glitch (I won't start a Mac/PC fight, it's futile, and out of our purpose here ![]() Should you buy now or not? Well, if you want to DO womething NOW, then go for it. Else wait a little until this summer/autumn thing should start to really move there. But for the date, ask Apple, you know as much as we do ![]() Only remember that in computer, while you wait, you have job you can't make done. If you buy now you can use your computer right away. Especially now as the driver/software questions in OSX are about to be solved quickly (major softs lagging behind: Protools (whole family), DP, Motu drivers, the plug-ins are upgrading fast) btw Down By The Water is a beautifull song ![]() -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
