Mac Software?, new to mac Options

[rodney]

I can't afford to go out and spend thousands on some of the software
that i need to use for music production. unlike the pc its hard to find
mac stuff , for me anyway. if any one can point me in the right direction
or has programs like cubase vst or logic 5 for mac that would really
help me out until i can go out and buy all the stuff i need.

thanx guys [COLOR=blue]

If you are asking for advice on where to find a crack, you will get no help here and you can go and $#^@ right off.

How did you get your computer? Did you steal it?

You don't need to spend thousands on software to make music. You can buy something like the "Logic Audio Big Box" for less than US$250 which gives you Logic Audio, two virtual synths and a virtual sampler and some sound library. You can upgrade Logic Audio to Gold or Platinum later when you have more money. There are plenty of free or cheap VST effects on the net that will work with Logic too.

There are also plenty of freeware or cheap shareware sequencers that you can get from the net, try www.download.com

jesus! why are you all so bitter about cracks. there's nothing wrong with using cracks AS A TRIAL VERSION. if you like it and especially if you start making money from a plug-in or a sequencer people should buy the software. but i have nothing against using cracks while i feel a plug-in or a program out.

don't be bitter

help one eachother

more cognac please

Er, I don't know of many people who go out and buy the full version of a cracked program. Why would they? Personally, I find cracks a lot of trouble - no manuals, no support, frequent upgrade hurdles, irritating bugs, no nice shiny box on your bookshelf, etc

Anyway, there's lots of decent free or cheap music software for the Mac - Pro Tools Free, Logic Fun, Cubasis or step it up a gear and get something like the Logic 5 Big Box. That's a real bargain, so long as you act quickly and grab one in the next couple of weeks. They're selling like hot cakes at a hot cake convention for hungry fat people.

Wow, there's lots of free stuff out there isn't there. Excellent. Where would I find the free Cubasis that rickenbacker mentioned please?

Where's the free crack??????!!!!!!!!!!!!1

There is no free crack, you either buy it or get shot stealing it. I do have to say there is some rather inexpencive software out there. of cource not as many as for PC, and well if you buy a mac chances are you have some need to get really good quality and your not just playing around. I was bummed at work ahen I say Cubasis was only PC, but when I went to the Apple Store, I saw it there, US$90, can't bet that with stolen crack rocks. As far a cracking goes. I have seen so many people come into my store and but say logic audio because they need the manual and the tech support. That is the main reason their not really pushing to stop crackers
