Great. I've got something I'd like some opinions on. I'm trying to decide between getting Emagic Logic (4.5) or Steinberg Cubase VST (5.0). I'm playing around with the Cubase demo and its great. But I'm wondering if Logic wouldn't be a better choice? I've heard some not-so-good things about Steinberg's support, but they do have the demo and a nice website at Cubase.net. I'd definitely be using the audio features of the sequencer and although I don't have midi gear, I would be getting some softsynths in the near future to use with the sequencer. I really like the Waldorf PPG Wave and the Native Instruments Pro-52 VST instruments. I'm wondering if it might not be worth getting those two or a modular softsynth (like NI's Reaktor) and Logic Gold or the plain-Jane version of Cubase as it would be close to the same price as getting Logic Platinum or Cubase VST 32. Again, any opinions on this? I would be doing some non-live looping of both audio and midi as well as some recording and mixing, etc. And, since I don't have a keyboard, I've been putting the midi notes in with the mouse, which is rather cumbersome in Cubase. Is this any better in Logic? My audio hardware is pretty basic: a Soundblaster type soundcard. I'm not too worried about that at the moment since the computer isn't a DAW and I don't plan on recording anything more than "demo quality" guitar and bass anytime real soon. Right now I'm running Windows 98 SE on a kind of old PC. The Cubase demo is running fine with some VST instruments and effects going. I'll probably upgrade it soon. I'm seriously considering getting a Mac instead of upgrading for various reasons; a much more efficient user interface than Windows being one of the main ones (check out http://www.asktog.com/ for those interested). I would be great if I could get some suggestions about this. Right now I'm leaning towards Cubase VST 32, but for some rather superficial and somewhat silly reasons. It would be great if anyone could give some real reasons (extra features, possible better UI, etc.) to go with Logic instead of Cubase. Thanks in advance for any help.
