Hey everybody. I just recently switched from a PC to my wonderful new PowerMac duel 1.25GHz G4. While on PC I used Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 and Sonar for all my recording/sequencing. Now that I'm on a mac, what should I look into? I seem to have noticed that the big players are Protools 6, MOTU Digital Performer, and Cubase. Any others I should look into? Thanks in advance.

One thing to note about Pro Tools 6, is that you cannot use it with any third party soundcards. It only works with Digidesign Hardware. In the case where you purchase either an MBox, which I use myself with fabulous results, a Digi001, Toolbox or Digi002, you get ProTools LE 6 included, which is quite powerfull and not that limited as the "LE" tag might suggest. If you purchase ProTools6 the full blown version, it will cost a large sum of money to get all the necessary hardware. It is worth getting a quote from an authorised dealer before making a move.
