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.

I side with hanik over SX, but I'd go further and say it's not just for dance music - I record guitars, bass, vocals and other live instruments, plus add soft synths and drums via Midi. I'm working quicker and easier than I ever was with Logic and the results sound every bit as good as any sequencer I've tried - from what I understand, SX uses the same audio engine as Nuendo (Steinberg's top-end software).
If anyone has a bad attitude about Cubase, it usually relates to an older version - either that or they're just reciting something they've heard other people say. SX can handle it all - audio or Midi, plus you can use all the VST instruments and FX available. Plenty more are in progress, too. As for bugs, every computer program has them. I've already read plenty of angry comments about Logic 6.  I think there's a definite snobbery about using Logic - it's not THAT great.  Try as many as you can and see what suits you. Just don't get hustled into using something just 'cos everyone else does. |
