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.

Kyle, it really comes down to what you feel you're going to need.
I can live without VST, as everything I would want is coming out within the year for AU (reaktor, waves plugins, max-msp-pluggo, other NI software eventually). Some people can't. If you're new to the mac side of the fence, and have yet to invest in VSTs for the platform, I'd suggest trying logic 6 out. It's the newest, has many interesting new features (do a quick net search, or go to www.emagic.de) and is owned by apple, so the future is pretty secure. Cubase is a great program, but I've heard horror stories about the support on the mac side (the dedication seems to be towards the PC community first, then mac). On all accounts, it's pretty buggy still, but this may be fixed shortly (or not, who knows). If you don't mind waiting for updates, and if it works without issues for you, SX might be the way to go. I'd hunt around Cubase.net to get a feel for how things are currently standing. DP is a system I've hardly seen, let alone learned anything about.. |
