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

I use both Logic Pro 7 and Cubase SX 3 on a Mac G4 DP 2 * 1 Ghz. Of course, each of both applications has pros and cons, but in my opinion it's a matter of taste and it's a matter of the kind of audio jobs you like to do. When composing songs, I start with Logic, probably because of the very simple user interface and the way Logic Pro 7 handles it's virtual instruments. Nevertheless, I find the way Logic handles multi channel instruments quite complex, if compared to Cubase. On the other hand, when I need to do a lot of tracking, dubbing and/or post production, I often choose for Cubase SX, simply because this application has a lot more user friendly options for this kind of job. If I should have only little money to spend, I think that I would buy Logic Pro 7. It offers great value for money, a lot of FX, dynamics and instruments are included and the sound quality is definitely professional. Good Luck!
