Hey everybody. I just recently switched from a PC to my wonderful new PowerMac duel 1.25GHz G4. While on PC I used Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 and Sonar for all my recording/sequencing. Now that I'm on a mac, what should I look into? I seem to have noticed that the big players are Protools 6, MOTU Digital Performer, and Cubase. Any others I should look into? Thanks in advance.

Welcome!
Now on the sequencers: If you need some midi, but want an easy and fast (and goooood) audio editing it's Protools (we still don't know when PT free 6 for X will be available). Save PT free, the Protools environement is almost closed and as the X update is only here since this month, wome things are still missing Professional MIDI (the know it all) and good audio: Logic. You must know that Apple bought Emagic the editor last summer. Overall good, more easy to grasp than Logic: DP, announced, should be here well… we still don't know, but it seems to be not a long time from now. These 3 are the pro choice, but you can use Cubase SX it is looked as less pro, but some users are very happy with it. If you're used to cakewalk, the Mac version under X is called Metro, but seems to be buggy. Also remember that a lot of plugins are still waiting their X version. And you can try alternative sequencers like Numerology too if you want (analogue style sequencing) as long as others… -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
