New To Mac What's Better?, Cubase sx or logic pro Options

[professorpious]

I Just got my powerbook, yay! its the 1.33ghz 512mb ram, with the fast harddrive (7800rpm i think). I've got the Edirol fa-101 for my audio interface.
Right now I'm using reason 2.5, I'm lookng to add audio to my tracks. Should I go with Cubase or Logic for this? they both support rewire as far as I know. I have no experience with either program so will be learning which ever I choose. Seems like most people talk about using logic in this forum and a friend said "logic hands down". Just wondering what some others think before I go dropping a grand.
thanks in advance,

[Presto]

I recorded audio on my G3 ibook before getting an external fw drive. I didn't go over 16 tracks (often just 8) in protools LE on OS9, used few plugins and parcimoniously. The problems I encountered were: learning how to get things done, my slowness, getting lost due to not giving names to all the bits and bats, and particularly accepting how far I was from being a musical genius. If there were any problems due to using the internal drive, I didn't notice.

Alot of people on here try for technical perfection, but I don't think it's worth getting worried about that too much until I'm satisfied with some of the music I try to compose. I did listen to advice here when I started out and knew, when I got a usb interface, that the single FW would be available for the external drive. I discovered MacMusic just in time.

When you start doing good stuff, then you should get an external drive. If you want to use 32 tracks and bulldoze with plugins right from the start, you'll probably need it very soon and will have to either change the PB or get a usb sound interface. But if you don't demand too much of your set-up while you're learning and you're as slow as me, the problem shouldn't worry you for quite a while.
