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,
JS

My apologies again for the repetition. I'm BRAND new here, Sorry sorry sorry. And thanks for your answers.

So for this thread I'll stick to my original question - given my Mac's specs (see prior post, this thread) -

How do Logic Express and Cubase SE compare for features?
It sounds like my computer can handle them. I have the G4/500 cpu - just wonder if the B&W has a slower internal speeds (bus?) and if that matters.

As to features - I've read the web sites but the long lists are a bit overwhelming. You are all saying CUBASE is MUCH easier to understand (beginner-wise) but more demanding on the CPU.

Is the main difference that Logic Express just has more sounds and effects?

Thanks for your patience.
