Dear friends,
According to Steinberg's website, "support for Intel based Macs is in preparation": http://www.steinberg.net/547+M52087573ab0.html Does anyone have futher info on this? For those of us who just bought the Firebox, will we need a new version of Cubase? I'm enjoying using my Firebox and Cubase LE on my G3 iBook for simple audio work, but obviously I'll need something more powerful soon and am thinking about the Mac Book Pro. I just don't want to get caught in this cycle of hardware/software/interface never aligning - it seems one piece of the puzzle is always too powerful, not powerful enough, or incompatible. Right now my computer seems to be the weak link, because both the Firebox and Cubase are very powerful. My fear is that Mac Book Pro will leapfrog both these. Thoughts? |

If you buy an Intel Mac, yes you'll need Intel support from any software companies whose products you use. If you buy a G4 or G5-based Mac, you won't. For instance, the new 5.2 update to Ableton's Live provides Intel support for iMac/Mac Mini/MacBook Pro owners. For G4 and G5 Mac owners, it acts as an incremental bug fix release.
If you bought a MacBook Pro, you'd need a new Cubase version or update. The FireBox's software may also need updating from PreSonus so that the mixer interface works on an Intel Mac. If all that comes together, you've got a very nice set-up that won't need updating again for years. Unless you want to. |
