OS X softwares?, OS X softwares Options

[ryosode]

Okay, I bet I am not the first person to ask this question, but I am in love with OS X 10.1 and I need a multi-track audio editing solution ASAP. Aside from the fact that the multithreading actually works, the audio architecture of OS X seems very promising. So where are the softwares for me to do audio/MIDI stuff? Logic said long time ago that it will have LA5 for OS X ready by Sept, but Sept is long gone. They are aiming for January release, but I don't know if we can trust that. BIAS said it's public beta for Deck X and Peak X are ready for testing but you have to register with them and get an approval from them before download the beta and test it out. I wouldn't bet on Pro Tools, Digital Performer, or Cubase to come out anytime sooner than Logic. And I don't know any other software to do the job. So I am pretty much stuck. Everything I do can be done in OS X, except for the audio recording/editting. Well, actually, even the audio recording can be done using a shareware called Sound Studio 1.5.5 for OS X and it works very well. But when it comes to multi-track editing, I have to boot back into OS 9 and deal with OMS, FreeMIDI, ASIO, Apple Sound Manager...etc, etc, and I hate it.

Does anyone know if there's any intermediate cure for my pain?

How is Cubase VST 5.0 for me? Will Sound Studio 1.5 be better for me or LA5 since its comming to osx sooner and i love osx? Help. Thanks.
