I've lately been deciding on which sequencer to get for my new Power Mac G5, and I've been considering to get either Logic Express 7 or Cubase SX 3.
I've been hearing a lot that Cubase doesn't run as nicely on Macs as it does on Windows, and that it's not quite as efficient as something like Logic. I am also looking at logic since that I now have a Mac and that gives me the ability to use software that Windows cannot. Another part of me says that getting the Cubase upgrade from SL to either SL or SX 3 will allow me to stay with Cubase and possibly save a few dollars (with SL). Cubase is still a great program and I have become very comfortable with it. And then of course I could try and use both but we'll see. What do you think? |

At that time it was a brand new 1GHz Powerbook, it basically choked that machine.
I was unable to playback sessions created in cubase 5, that were created on a G4/400. I ended up putting SX on my PC to transfer my sessions. I did alot of experimenting trying to improve performance, only to be dissapointed. After being a longtime Cubase user I was not confident that Steinberg could deliver on their first try for an OSX app. so I skipped SX1, and upgraded when SX2 came along. To hedge my bets I purchased DP, and Logic for my OSX transition. I had no problems with sessions of 24-32 tracks, using DP and Logic, on my recently retired G4/400. I also used virtual instruments exclusively for those sessions. I'm not even going to attempt SX again until I have dual G5, or a mactel.
