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? |

Also be aware that cubase is the offical cpu-hog of the Mac DAws. From my experience you can get 40%-60% more instance of effects and virtual instruments using Logic or DP4.
Now the situation may change when they release the mcIntel version, but nothing in their past or recent history suggests that they will get it right on the first try. They usually get it together by the 3rd or 4th upgrade.
